@Timo

In the source code, there is a file named startup_sequence. I wonder if the name came from the Amiga OS?

I forgot about that file, but yes, I was an Amiga fan. And I still am actually, but currently don't have a working machine. I have an A1200 waiting for repair.

And I have a very personal virtual hard disc for an Amiga emulator. It only has my own old projects and the games that left an impression on me (and we actually owned when I was young). So it's the opposite of these emulator collections with all existing games :)

Eventually I want to install this on the real A1200...

I was able to fix my A1200 a couple of years ago, the problem was the sound capacitor. I started to fix it my self a manage to break a copper line. I sent it to a company that repair it for me.

I also setup a compact flash that work both for the real hardware and emulator and I setup a game launcher on it using ... startup-sequence.

But I don't have a compatible screen anymore.

I have no experience in soldering inside of a computer, so I will let somebody else repair it. There is a shop which already repaired my Game Gear, so I guess they can do it.
And I have the same issue with the monitor, I don't have a CRT anymore and not even space for it :/
But anyway, if I start with this now, I will probably spend too much time and money. That's bad when you don't have spare time or spare money ;)
