T64

Identification

The first 32 bytes of the file contain an ASCII signature that begins with "C64". Unfortunately, there are several variants of it, such as "C64S tape file", "C64S tape image file", and "C64 tape image file".

At offset 32 is a version number that should be either 0x00 0x01 or 0x01 0x01.
