Interesting looking project. I've requested support for MiSTer/Minimig on the already existing Issue (as it seems to need a 68030 rather than a 68020). I also can't immediately see any binaries - looks like it needs to be built in order to test it - and not sure if soft-kicking the ROM will be easily doable on real hardware.

Will keep an eye on this one.

I think you can softkick with acatune? Depends on your setup obviously.

No idea if you can use this - https://github.com/dplanitzer/Serena/releases/download/v0.2.0-alpha/Serena.rom ?

Looks like that only supports certain accelerators. Presumably SKick would work, but it needs extra files alongside the ROM itself.

That's a shame. I was hoping you could just boot that file and off you go.

Similar for NetBSD and EmuTOS, would just like something I could copy across and go
