Description

Some C64 games on tape (e.g. Rambo: First Blood Part II (Ocean Loader v2) or Last Ninja 2 (Cyberload)) will hang while attempting to load them. The games load fine in VICE.

This happens on both BizHawk 2.3.2 (stable) and the latest interim build.

Furthermore, some games require rewinding the tape (e.g. R-Type, which is also two-sided), so datasette controls (like what VICE has, so play, stop and rewind) would be appreciated.
