Remember waiting around for what sometimes would feel like forever, just to get your favourite game loaded from your trusty datasette? Well, now you can now attempt to return to a slightly less irritating version of those good old days. Loading games will take just as long as they did back then, you just won't need to fiddle with the azimuth setting to get that very specific tape to load. Based on the rather excellent tapuino-project, the C64 PlayOnTape and its accompanying modules is just my own PCB build of it.

This is the main module, check out the related shared projects for any additional modules. Some, like the cable adapter is required to build a functional C64 PlayOnTape, while others were simply added because I wanted the end product to look a bit nicer than a bare board with some wires hanging off it.

The YouTube-channel iNimbleSloth created a video that goes into detail on soldering the device together, this also includes installing the firmware as well as loading your first tape game from it. Check it out below.
