Summary	08925: mt65: Crash when trying to load a tape
Description	When loading a tape with XBUG installed, it crashes as soon as LOAD is entered.
Steps To Reproduce	Type this at the command line, substituting your own tape filename. >mame mt65 xbug -cass e:\data\tangerine\microtan\fast.wav Once it starts up, type BAS to enter Basic. Then type LOAD to load the tape. At soon as enter is pressed, MAME crashes.

No.22345 Robbbert Senior Tester Sep 27, 2024, 09:07	At one time this system could load tapes without needing anything special, but it's been considerably refactored since then, and tapes can no longer be loaded.
No.22356 Robbbert Senior Tester 26 days ago	Confirmed since once again, nobody could be bothered.
No.22372 Pernod Developer 16 days ago	This bug report is quite misleading as the issue is caused by trying to access the XBUG ROM and has nothing to do with trying to load a tape.
No.22373 Robbbert Senior Tester 15 days ago	Well sorry about that, but the crash happened when I tried to load a tape. I'm not really sure how else I could have described it. Although the crash is now fixed, I'm still having the greatest difficulty in getting anything to run on this system. (ROM and SNAP from swlist are ok). For example, the mt65_cass software list gives no clue on how one could load and run the tape. The loose files in my collection are almost all non-working.
No.22376 Pernod Developer 15 days ago	I agree that the loading instructions could be improved, but can assure you that all mt65_cass items do work. It's not obvious if you're not familiar with the machine or software. BASIC programs, with extension .B, are the easiest, enter BASIC with BAS then LOAD. You have to specify the filename and most will require you to enter Y when asked FAST. For anything with a .A extension you'll need to know where to execute it when loaded, usually G400. Feel free to ping me on Discord for instructions on individual files.
