Played it a bit now seems to work so here are the files once the music stops or just before on Javacpc load Episode 1 tape.
If anyone can get it on disk this would be great.
Was this ever transferred to dsk after all?

I had a go at trying to transfer it to DSK this weekend, but as has already been confirmed, episode 4 doesn't load fully (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/passengers-on-the-wind-2-cassette-found/msg63429/#msg63429). The CDT from CPC-POWER also doesn't load the first block of episode 4. :(
If I had a WAV file of the cassette that I could download, I could try converting it to a CDT myself.
I have a 145 meg wav file of side B just need a place to upload it to

I had the disc version back the day. It worked just fine. In German.

Hello Dominic,
i have download the WAV file, and i'm going to reprocess it again. :)
i'll post here what i get !
Crossing fingers for the best...
it's impossible to process correctly the dump, because the tape is maybe old, but also mainly because the tape recorder used
is unable to process the tape correctly.
I sent Dominic a PM in order to see if he agree to send the tape to me.
I have an excellent equipment to dump tapes, and i could provide him the dumping service, like i'm doing for a french collector.
Let's see what he thinks of it :)
Oh my! This will be a tremendous treat, essentially it's a lost edition... Crossing fingers (again)!
Hi :) Dominic has answered me by mail. He will send me POTW2 tape version once back from holidays :)
Great, the dumping will be perfect !
That's awesome news!
I took a look at the wav file, but seems to have been recorden at an extremely high input level so the waveform is utterly distorted.
Please send a huge Thank you! to Dominic, and keep us updated on the progress!
This is fantastic news indeed! Thanks to the both of you :)
Tapes on their way today by air mail.
Oh yeah baby :) Now I must find the French version, then wait for the proper conversion and stick it into the original case :)
Hello Guys :)
I got today the tape(s) from Dominic.
I have excellent news ! At first, the tapes were stored in a place with humidity (mostly), and the black little shit on the copper tin had some filth on it. A bit of 70% alcohol on it did quite wonders :) I have been able to record and process faithfully both sides, with no problem.
I'm now checking each episode to see if everything is good.
Other than that, this game has a nasty bug on tape. When starting, you must not press 'ESC', otherwise the game crash :(
Each episode is fine :)
Version Split :
Passengers Of The Wind 2 (UK) (2 faces) (1987) [Original] [TAPE].zip - File (https://app.box.com/s/x8cfiwctdbgtl8emfjso)
Version both sides :
Passengers Of The Wind 2 (UK) (1987) (Version Split) [Original] [TAPE].zip - (https://app.box.com/s/9ptmrv6rh7wasscrk015)
Loaded it up just now on JavaCPC looks good thank you.
Oh I did originally find the tape stuck behind a hot water pipe in the cupboard...
How do we convert it to disk?
I will ask to a friend if he can make a disk version out of the tape :)
yaaaay

And I will also have a go - but it will take me a while. Multiload games always do. :)
All of this has reminded me that I
still haven't transferred my own cassette version of
Passengers of the Wind to CDT... :-[
Is that Passengers of the Wind 1?
I never saw that for sale

Please Nich :) dump your english release :)
and to convert this cdt to a file that an HXC can read...
Playing it again after 27 years has been a treat got far further into it than when I first got it.
have you been able to pass the episode 3 ?
i get stuck with the lion that i have to gun down....
Sorry got that far myself

Don't want to spoil it, or post the full solution (I think you may need to make the right conversation decisions to be able to pick up the gun) but you should be able to pick up the gun from the ground and then after an image of Isa walking appears with her hand hidden, click on Isa's hand to make her pull out the gun and shoot.
Another thing I'll mention is that to complete the game, the final question that the guy asks at the end of each chapter needs to be answered correctly. (I wish I'd known that all those years ago ! lol!)

It's taken a long time, but
Passengers on the Wind 2 is now available on a DSK for downloading! I've attached a ZIP file to this post, and it can also be downloaded from NVG.

Erm... I
still haven't done that. :-[
Thank you thank you thank you
Great work Nich
At last! Thanks so much mate :)

Thank you thank you thank you
I really ought to thank you (and Dlfrsilver) very much in return for providing the original CDT. Without it, there would be no version of the game at all!
anyone got the UK version of POTW 1?

At last, here are dumps of both the cassette
and disc versions of
Passengers on the Wind! ;D (Yes, I have both versions!)
I was very lucky to be able to dump the cassette version. The game comes on two cassettes, but the cassette with the main program had a loose pressure pad and it couldn't be read. :( Fortunately for me, I knew I had a spare of one of the cassettes - and it turned out to be the cassette that contained the main program! :)
Thank you thank you
