BLEEPLOAD (Firebird)



The Firebird Bleeploader can be recognised by its distinct loading bleeps.


The first block is short, after which loads a longer BASIC block, the screen
goes black and the game title will be dislpayed, usually in a blue box:









After the BASIC block there is another CODE block and then the BleepLoad
follows, Now the program begins loading small blocks (of size around 250
bytes) with a very small Pilot Tone and writes the block number in HEX
on the screen (like : LOADING 1F) ... If an error occured while loading
the the tape can be rewound and the block can be reloaded. There are always
2E blocks before the picture:








Now the main game data begins loading which is around 8E blocks, this
may vary due to the amount of data that needs to be loaded Just use the
/bleep switch to convert this kind of protected tape.
