Can Vcc be made to load .wav files for cassette use? #87

From a comment from R. Gault. Some programs are available only as .wav files. Can Vcc be made to work with .wav files?

As stated in the VCC manual... VCC will load wave files, BUT they have to be in the exact format of "44khz, 8 bit" (I think that's it). If not in the proper format, it may mangle you wave file by just loading it in, without even attempting to access it. Yes, this is a bug AND partially intended. When Joseph initially started VCC, the common sound format for games was 8 bit, but quickly expanded to 16 bit. what is needed is to make VCC compatible with more wave resolutions (44khz, 16 bit). A lot of the old wav files I found were in 44khz, 16 bit and VCC would mangle them. Hence the warning in the manual. Also, the "ccc" files SHOULD load almost instantaneously as they are digitally encode files much like a disk file, but VCC has some sort of delay loop, I guess to make them seem like you're loading from cassette. This could be fixed.
