I have many programs in TAP formats, but when I try to start them using Start button, they crashes (especially demos). Why?
Some programs need a 128K emulator, and some programs need a 48K emulator. A TAP file has no information as to which version of the emulator is needed, so you must try both. Be aware of fact that some programs need a 128K emulator but load in ’48 Basic’. Also, some 128K demos exist which need a very special method for loading: go into ‘128 Basic’, type USR0 [ENTER], then LOAD “” [ENTER]. Q: A number of programs in TAP and especially TZX format, crash during loading when I try to load them using the ‘Start’ button. However, when I then reset the emulator, rewind the tape file to the beginning and try loading using LOAD “”, they load and run correctly. Whats happening? A: Oh, this is a very ugly problem, but fortunately it is easily solvable. Some protected programs expect that the initial screen attribute before loading is black on white. When ‘Start’ button is used, we set the initial screen attribute to white on black (for an aesthetic reason). The solution is easy: put the switch /Y5
