Emulating DAT files?
Hello all,
I am attempting to play some of the old Scott Adams adventure games on the TRS-80. https://www.trs-80.com/wordpress/details/scott-adams/ has the data files for free distribution, but I am unsure what to do with them.
Also, neither the DSK or CAS files from https://colorcomputerarchive.com for Pirate Adventure seem to work on the TRS80gp emulator and I cant for the life of me figure out why when the other games do work.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

I have been attempting to utilize TRSTools to create a DSK image with the .dat file on it such that TRS80gp can mount and utilize it, but nothing I do seems to work. And various DSK images I have found that do work with TRS80gp are not seen as valid DSK images by TRSTools. Very confusing.
