I was going to try this if all else fails as from what I can gather it's VERY difficult to actually copy the soundfile onto a tape good enough for a pet to read it.If I ever do get around to trying it I'll post the results.

PET software / Pet Invaders
December 14, 2010, 05:23 AM
I have just got a 4032 pet.I learned basic on a pet back in the early 80's and remember someone playing pet invaders and would like to get it running on my machine.I got a few tapes and one of them is pet invaders (I remember the schematic for sound output that appears when it first loads) but even though the sound schematic appears on my pet on pressing a key I just get a blank screen.Could be that the tape is just too old or maybe I'm doing something wrong.My pet has 4.0 basic and 32k of memory and I'm using the 'new rom' version of the game,I just type LOAD then RUN once the game has loaded  but it just won't work.Any ideas?I have found a copy of the game off the net but putting it on a tape for my  pet is going to be difficult.I thought maybe I could load it into an emulator like winvice and copy the machine code to type into my pet but not knowing the start and end of the actual machine code I could end up typing in 32k of code! Do any of you either know any tricks I could try to get my tape working or somewhere I could obtain another copy?I live in the UK.
Any help would be great.Thanks.
