Simply put you sample the whole tape (from 4 to 14megs about..) then the emulator gets the next byte when it needs to, allowing it to be loaded correctly.

I can't just play it in since its not a "real-time" emulator. Each instruction doesn't take the correct amount of time... just simulated,
but sampling it (and saving it as a RAW sample), I can feed it in even if its faster or slower than the actual Plus/4...

This avoids LOADS of problems... And these days... 14meg isn't much
