BallyBin

BallyBin converts .wav files of 2000 baud Bally Basic cassette tapes into binary files.  These files can then be converted back to digitally perfect .wav files using AstroWav.  BallyBasic is also available, this utility displays the Basic program in a binary file generated by BallyBin. 

All three utilities can be obtained by clicking here.

BallyBin Example

ballybin -b chicken chicken.wav

Produces a chicken.bin file.

Alternatively, you can use:

ballybin -w chicken chicken.wav

Produced a chicken_new.bin and chicken_new.wav file.  The new .wav file is digitally perfect and should load on a Bally easier than the original tape!

The binary file format can be viewed here.
