Hello. Sorry, I do not understand how I can achieve it. The cassette image is not BASIC code. It is machine code(?) and it is necessary to be likely to assemble it reversely.
@MOON Guess you can read, but cannot write Japanese...

What do you mean by the cassette image? If it is an actual audio cassette, record the sound to your Windows-based PC, then use a tool called P6DatRec, which turns the sound to a text file reflecting BASIC code.

I'm living in Britain. :-)

It does seem hard. I can easily overpass the language barrier, but the others? Uneasily so.
Can you help me regarding this? I am thankful if you do.
I'm not sure which language is used in the software. P6DatRec emits a binary file as well as the BASIC text file, which might end up with: 10 EXEC&HXXXX If this is a case, you want to edit the binary file with machine code, or even disassemble it, which is doable, but way harder.
Yes, it does. A next problem would be how you encode the tranlated code into cassette image, i.e. a P6 file. Once you get a P6 file, you can use it in emulators, or P6DatRec translates it to a wav file, which can be loaded into the machine. I'm sure the encoding is not very difficult, but not sure if such tool is already available out there.

The encoding. Maybe some documents would help. Where can I find some documents, in English?
Seems a bit easier, because PC-8001/8801 has capability of saving as "ASCII" mode. You need not to convert BASIC keywords into interpreter code in it. Still you want to convert a text file to a cassette image file, though.

Ah, that's good news. Does the PC88 use the JIS X 0201 encoding? I just want to confirm it.
