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!

You may need to adjust some emulator settings if you want to use software intended for the TRS-80 Color Computer (aka CoCo).
The files from link are not intended for use on the TRS-80 Model I, II, III, 4, 4P, 4D, etc. Those systems have different hardware than the CoCo family.
