I have gone into the OSD and selected the file
then I type RUN"

'Bad command'

Hi,

Try this:
1. Load CDT file from OSD
2. Type |TAPE
3.Type RUN"

Works for me on same core ported for MiST, should be the same for MiSTer. Let me know if it works.
If it works that way too, then this is a little update for owlnonymous MiSTer Computer Cheat Sheet FAQ as wel :)

P.S. Takes a while though :)
"There is no way to rewind or fast forward the file." from core's description.

Have fun !

Thank you!
That worked
Definitely a good idea to add that to the MISTer computer cheat sheet!
