  BOMB CHASE 2009 - TAPE MASTERING INSTRUCTIONS
==================================================

Real C64 users:
---------------

Using PC-C64 transferring software, convert the .D64 file
that contains the tape mastering files from the PC 
straight to your C64. Can be done with either StarCommander
with XE1541 cable or anything else you use to convert your
stuff from PC to C64.

Mastering instructions:
=======================

Insert the tape mastering disk, use the LOAD "*",8,1 prompt
then type NEW and then enter SYS 49152 to execute mastering
program. 

You should then have a blue screen with white text.
There are two different options for you to choose from:

1. Auto master (No hands mode)
2. Wait for a key (Yawn!)

Select one of those two options. The fastest master is the no hands mode,
where everything is done automatically. This also makes loading/saving time
much quicker.

Otherwise option 2 will require you to be present at all times to press
a key any time a file has loaded.

Insert a blank tape into your tape deck, press RECORD + PLAY on tape, and then
the mastering will beging.

*** IMPORTANT: You must keep your disk in the drive at all times during the
               mastering process until you have finished with it! ***.

WinVice users:

To master a .tap image of Bomb Chase, insert the mastering .D64 (File, Attach
.D64 image, Drive 8) select BC_2009_TAPEMASTERING.D64 and then press ENTER. 
Now use the same method as C64 users (LOAD "*",8,1 and SYS49152). 

Next go to (File, Attach Tape Image, enter filename BCTAPE.TAP and click on
CREATE IMAGE). Then press ENTER and then select option to RECORD .TAP image. 
Once the mastering has finished go to File, Detach Tape image. And you're done!

Now follow the screen prompts.

CCS64 Users:

Press F9 to execute menu and select 1541 Device 8. Go to the directory where
the BC_2009_TAPEMASTERING.D64 file is and then press ENTER. The Disk image should
automatically open the directory. Now highlight FREESAVE  /49152 and then press 
ENTER again. The file should quickly load. Now enter SYS 49152 to execute the
mastering program.

Now you will want to make a .TAP image. So press F9 again to enter the dir menu
then go back to the main CCS64 menu and select TAPE DEVICE 1, followed by F2 to
enter the status menu. Highlight START SAVING (.TAP), press RETURN. Enter the 
file name of the .TAP image you want to create and then ENTER again. 

You will then return to the mastering system program. Just follow screen 
prompts as real C64 users do. Once mastering is complete, press F9 to stop tape
and detatch it.
