Web app and command-line tool to read programs off of TRS-80 Model I and Model III cassettes.

Command-line usage

The program can also be run on the command line. It reads a WAV file and generates various output files, which are placed in the same directory as the input file.

You can try it without installing:

% npx trs80-cassette-reader --help

Or, to install the version on npm:

% npm install -g trs80-cassette-reader
% trs80-cassette-reader --help

Or, to run from source:

(clone repo)
% npm install
% npm run build-node
% bin/trs80-cassette-reader --help

By default the program will generate the appropriate binary file for each program on the cassette:

.BAS files for Basic programs.
.3BN files for system programs.
.BIN files for unknown programs.

The --wav flag will also cause a clean (reconstructed) audio file to be generated for each program. The --cas flag will generate a cassette file for each program. (These are readable in most emulators.) The --all flag will, instead of generating one file for each program, generate one audio and/or cassette file for the whole input file.

For system programs, the --asm flag will generate a disassembly. For Basic programs, the --tokenize flag will generate a detokenized (text) version of the program.

If any output file exists, it will not be overwritten unless the --force flag is given.
