Speccy loading schemes

I was wondering. How did programmers get those spectrum games to load using the different loading schemes like the faster loaders?(speedlock) Did the code have to be saved in some special way? How did thye get the different colours also?

    Instead of using the standard ROM-loader
    they programmed their own loader. The easiest would be to copy the ROM-loader and change the coloring from the OUT and you would have a loader which loads with different colours, but is fully functional.
    If you change the timing, well then you would make a fast loader.

    The same principal is used to built a slowloader to load ZX81-games into ZX81EMUL.
