Can not read .tap files from SD card. #55

Closed lfmm-brz closed 1 year ago

I've hooked up the ZxSpectrum4PinAudioVga1111Ps2 on a perforated breadboard, it is working very well, except the fact that I can not read any .tap filefrom the SD card. I can do load .z80 files and save/load the snapshots. The Keyboard F5/F6/F7 keys are good, the .tap files are good (tested on an emulator). Steps I am doing: 1 - Press F1, 2 - Choose .tap file, 3 - Motor on, 4 - Esc to go back to ZX screen, 5 - Press F5. I've tried other ways with no success.

I created the folders as per instructions: zxspectrum/snapshots Put your .z80 snapshot files in here. zxspectrum/quicksaves Folder for quick saves. zxspectrum/tapes Folder for .tap tape files.

Using F5/F6/F7 as per instructions: F5 play current tape F6 play previous tape F7 play next tape

Any clue?

Thanks a lot.

I've just tried my version of the VGA board and it seems to be working... but some things to note: 1 - Performing a reset of the Spectrum on the F1 menu stops the tape. 2 - If you start a tape from the menu you do not need to press F5 3 - There is a few seconds of delay before the tape header is played

The F5, F6, F7 are a little bit separate from the menu, and in fact were written before the menus existed. The just loop through tape files found in the tapes folder. Still, I am surprised they are not doing anything. I will have a glance at the code and see if it is doing something silly.

Try: 1 - Reset the spectrum 2 - Select a tape in the F1 menu 3 - Exit the menu 4 - Tell the spectrum to load from tape

I've tried,

1 - Reset the spectrum: Main menu / Option 6 / Reset 48k ZX Spectrum / Esc 2 - Select a tape in the F1 menu: Main menu / Option 2 / Choose a tape / Esc 3 - Exit the menu: Esc 4 - Tell the spectrum to load from tape: LOAD ""

The screen remains blank.

If I reset to the 128K ZX Spectrum and issue steps 2, 3 and 4, the screen remains with LOAD "" on the left top corner.

Thanks a lot for your support.

There was a bug like this but it was a while back now. Are you using the latest firmware (there should be a uf2 from about 6 days ago)?

lfmm-brz commented 1 year ago

No, It is from August 20.

I will download the new one and revert to you.
