How does PC–C64 file transfer work with audio tapes?
First it is good to understand the limitation of file transfer by audio tapes. Programs that load in many parts are served in D64 files on C64.COM. These programs assume they are loaded from disk and thus may not work when loaded from tape. In case the whole program is one file only, there is a good chance you’ll succeed. If the file to transfer is inside a D64 file, you first have to transfer the file into a PRG file using the 64Copy program. If the file is inside a T64 file, it is optional to extract the PRG with 64Copy. Convert the PRG or T64 file into a WAV file using the WAV-PRG program. Record that WAV to a cassette by playing the file in your favourite media player and recording the output with a cassette player. You can then load the cassette on your datassette. Here’s the procedure as a diagram: D64 → PRG → WAV → cassette T64 → WAV → cassette 64Copy Central C64Copy, the utility for converting D64 → PRG.
