There are also examples where it doesn't seem to work but in fact it is something else...

Not all games will load and start with: LOAD"*",8,1 ... because the required file is not always in the first place on the disk, which can give the wrong impression that the game is not working.

Here are some examples:

forbidden_forest[cosmi_1983](later) ... LOAD"*",8,1 (works because FF is the 1st file on the disk)
forbidden_forest[cosmi_1983](earlier)(!) ... LOAD"FF",8,1 (works because is not the 1st file on the disk)

top_gun[ocean_1986](pal) ... load"*",8,1 (works because LOADER is the 1st file on the disk)
top_gun[thunder_mtn_1987](pal)(!) ... LOAD"LOADER",8,1 (works because is not the 1st file on the disk)

repton[sirius_1983](!) ... LOAD"SIRIUS",8,1 and RUN (works because is not the 1st file on the disk)

platos_cave[krell_1983] ... load"MENU",8,1 and RUN

so sometimes it is necessary to look into the directory structure to find an explanation if it doesn't work!
(Fortunately, it is not necessary to type in the emulator, but to look in the directory structure and click on one of the files.)

Great, something there fixed previously problematic games to work now always:

andy_capp[mirrorsoft_1987)(pal) ... no need to disable wobble or other!
vixen[martech_1988](pal)(paraprotect_v2) ... no need to reduce speed now!

and probably some others too!

PS. I haven't found anything so far that requires disabling decelaration! Almost everything that has been tested today simply works!

EDIT: Found it: "falcon_patrol[advantage_1983]" ... now need decelaration to be disabled to work! (I guess now it's like vice(sc) which doesn't emulate it anyway.)
