Loading Games with the Famicom Data Recorder

Hey Guys

I made a little tutorial for loading games with the Famicom Data Recorder.  It walks you through the process of setting everything up to playing an actual game.  It just deals with loading games from cassettes, nothing at all to do with writing or saving programs.  I thought some of you might be interested:

Nicely written article, there.  I save/load my Family Basic stuff using my computer instead of a cassette player, but the concepts are the same. 

After you load the BASIC program, you can type LIST to look at the program (I imagine the books that go along with the cassettes have the program printed in it, as well).  From there, edit the program to make it do something else (jump higher, infinite lives, whatever).  It's a great way to learn BASIC.

Very interesting, I finally know how to use it when I get one.

Interesting note, you can just use a normal cassette drive, as long as it has outputs.
