the progresses you read about are mostly for carts, because most C64 tapes are playable since at least 3 years in MESS, as long as they are in .tap format.
just
1. load them from command line or UI
2. type LOAD
3. when the message “Press play on tape” appears, enter the MESS internal UI to start the tape (press Tab and choose “Tape Control”, then press “Play”)
4. once the program is loaded and a “READY” message will be prompted, type RUN or the appropriate SYS call.
Loading time might be quite long, but you can use the FFW option (by default mapped to Insert) to speed it up.
OTOH, I'm not sure about ZX games, I had no issues with the few tapes I tried, but I'm not an expert and I could have tried simple games which do not stress emulation too much...
