Boot a tape (UEF) #177

Closed TobyLobster closed 1 year ago

TobyLobster commented 1 year ago

I'm looking to automatically start a tape loading from the command line.

To explain: b-em -tape image.uef only inserts the cassette image but doesn't actually start it playing. If it's possible to insert characters into the keyboard buffer automatically (perhaps by providing file to exec on startup) one could add e.g.

*TAPE CH.""

to start the tape loading automatically.

Thank you for your help.

Ah - never mind I just found the paste command in the debugger. That works! Thanks for a great emulator.

paste *TAPE|MCH.""|M
