This tool is incredible!

I would like to start it right after the next os starts to replace the default launcher. But when I start my game, the Jetman sprite is corrupted. You can download the demo here to reproduce it: https://maciej3322.itch.io/fred-in-space

Also, it asks if you can launch the next file - it would be cool if it would just start it without asking.

The idea is to use it as we did in 2000 with PCs with DOS.

Hi, the only way sprites can get corrupted is if the game itself fails to initialise the sprites properly… remnants of the mouse sprite remain and your game doesn’t overwrite them…

But I’ll have a look at how to sort this out, because sometimes the game doesn’t even account for an uncleared tilemap memory bank, etc....

This could be a bug in my game, but I've never seen it before, and no one has ever mentioned it. But already wehn loading game the screen looks kind of different/corruped.

The thing is, Browser doesn’t use sprites, tilemaps, etc., which is why these memory banks are empty. Calm Commander, on the other hand, does use them, but I’ll make sure Calm Commander cleans up after itself to avoid these issues… :)
