The values are still saved, but when the TAP file is loaded the game
startup code overwrites them, so it doesn't matter. The same thing
happens, by the way, when JSWED saves in SNA or Z80 form; the
registers are changed so that the game resumes at the start rather
than at the point the snapshot was saved.
