#333 Bombjack or Pheenix will not load as a TZX on Fuse

[Fredrick Meunier]

kilauea on WoS reports that BombJack and Pheenix TZXs will not load on Fuse http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/discussion/comment/857355/#Comment_857355

A quick test suggests that there is an incompatibility with Fuse's "Detect Loaders" feature (interestingly BombJack was specifically mentioned as working with this when Phil added the feature in [patches:#96] so something has since gone awry.

See also [bugs:#55] for more detail.

Bombjack confirmed as an issue and added to check_loaders as a test case.

Pheenix is one of those programs which needs LOAD ""CODE and so isn't picked up by our auto-loader, but works fine if you manually start things off.

[Fredrick Meunier]

I guess it would be straightforward to look whether a tape starts with a CODE block and decide to load a different autoload snapshot to cover those cases...

[Philip Kendall]

Yes, but that would then double the number of autoload snapshots and we've already got too many of them...

[Fredrick Meunier]

I'm tempted to make zlib compulsory to compensate and remove 1/2 the existing snaps to make room for more reliable autoloading of taps?

Pheenix now loads from Fuse 1.5.0 thanks to [patches:#397]
