What is a .TAP file?
The .TAP file extension is used for a special type of file called a Tap Tap Revenge Tap File. This file is like a digital copy of what used to be stored on old-fashioned data storage tapes. These tapes were used with old computers like the Commodore 64 (C64) or ZX Spectrum. The .TAP file keeps all the data from the tape in one single file. This is often done for video games or different kinds of computer programs that were originally made for these old systems.
To open a .TAP file, you can use various computer programs. Some of these programs include Fuse, CCS, C64 Forever, Spectrum 128K, UnrealSpeccy, Zephyr, UKV, Power64, VICE, and there are even ways to open them on the web or with a C64 online emulator. These programs help you use or play the old games and applications stored in the .TAP files on modern computers.
However, it's important to note that while .TAP files can be made and changed with certain software tools, they are specifically meant to be used with the game Tap Tap Revenge on the iPhone or iPod Touch. This means that even though you can open and view the files on a computer, to actually use them as intended (for playing Tap Tap Revenge), you would need to have them on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
