CPC464 Cdt to Wav Converter
« on: December 19, 2025, 01:05:31 pm »
Hi,
I’ve started a new project to convert CPC464 CDT files to WAV.
If you record the generated WAV onto an old cassette, you can load the game on an original CPC464.

Partial code source  from :
(C) 2005-2006 Francisco Javier Crespo <tzx2wav@ya.com>         
 
 Originally based on source code from these works:             
 PLAYTZX v0.60b for Watcom C compiler (C) 1997-2004 Tomaz Kac   
 PLAYTZX Unix v0.12b (C) 2003 Tero Turtiainen / Fredrick Meunier 

Here is a screenshot of the EXE working at nearly 90%.
I’ll fix a few bugs and upload the project soon.
I tried some generated WAV files with Caprice Forever, and some games are loading and working nicely. (The biggest CDT : Druid )

Regards Gigatron

I find it hard to believe that anyone today would bother doing that conversion. But its a project and something to do I guess.  :o

Btw.
 I used the WATCOM C compiler back in the day  :D

Hi

My brother bought a cpc464, this project aims to put the wave on a ( casette)  and test it on a CPC464 box. The executable works with minor bugs. The source code is based on a CDT2Wav writer.

* i Used Google translate :)
