If you want to save a couple of seconds at startup you can hack that too. Poke 454D into the ROM at location EBC9. This skips the memory-clear operation, since you know the memory is already clear on the emulator. Warning: this means that typing CALL 0 or pressing the reset button no longer clears all the memory (actually it does clear 1/256 of it). For autoboot I've hacked up the following to be stored in the ROM at location ED1B. No guarantees but it seems to work for all four of the demo disks on the "newbies" page. This is for the version of the ROM which comes with SimCoupe 0.72. Note: if you use this poke then it will always boot when you start the emulator whether you like it or not, and also whenever you type NEW. 3EFF 320056 32445C 213B5C CBFE CDDFD8 3A445C 3C C2D40D CF00 [ld a,FF; ld (LINICOLS),a; ld (NSPPC),a; ld hl,FLAGS; set 7,(hl); call BOOTNR; ld a,(NSPPC); inc a; jp nz,NEXTSTAT; rst 8; defb 0] imc
