Gopher2600 can load Supercharger tapes from MP3 and WAV file, in addition to supercharger BIN files. In all cases, Supercharger emulation requires the presence of a real Supercharger BIOS.

Supercharger BIOS

However you obtain the Supercharger BIOS, the file must be named one of the following:

  • Supercharger BIOS.bin
  • Supercharger.BIOS.bin
  • Supercharger_BIOS.bin

The file can be placed in the current working directory or in the same directory as the Supercharger file being loaded. Alternatively, it can be placed in the emulator's Configuration Directory.

For reference, the SHA-255 sum of the BIOS file used during development is 07e84736522125f95b23f3ea9bf3052a3b9395723e71a2c6b38eab7bcbb57a2d

Multiload Tapes

Multiload "tapes" are supported although care should be taken in how multiload files are created.

In the case of BIN files a straight concatenation of individual files should work, resulting in a file that is a multiple of 8448 bytes.

For MP3 and WAV files however, the waveform should be concatenated, not the individual MP3/WAV files themselves. A command line tool like SoX can be used for this.
