The TAPUINO is a DIY hardware interface based on the design and firmware by Peter Edwards aka Sweetlilmre (https://github.com/sweetlilmre), that fully emulates the Commodore 64 datassette and allows, among other things, the playback of .tap files on Commodore 64, Commodore 16 and VIC-20 systems.

The .tap file is a computer file containing information recorded from an actual Commodore 64 cassette tape (games, programs, demos...). Besides being used with TAPUINO, you can use tap files in emulators for Windows, Mac or Linux, such as VICE64, HOXS64, FRODO or CCS64.

As a real datassette emulator, TAPUINO can only play .tap files.

.d64 (disk dumps), .t64 (compressed tapes), .prg (programs) or .crt (cartridges) files are not compatible with the TAPUINO device. Note that the TAPUINO will not speedup loading a .tap on a real Commodore.

The loading cycles and times required to load a .tap will be identical to those required on a real cassette loaded from the original datassette.

Original design of Tapuino Reloaded (v0.1 to 0.3) by Edu Arana (https://github.com/arananet/Tapuino-Reloaded)

What's New 0.44:

• External port to connect your Datasette (convert tape to .tap, and .tap to tape)
• Buzzer to ear the .tap pulses
• USB-C Output to power-up external devices like SD2IEC
• On/Off switch to enable or disable the buzzer sound
• SMD implementation
