Description

At the moment, if the core is set to a model other than a TRDOS compatible one then when loading a SCL or TRD image it defaults to using Scorpion. Could we have a core option to set the default model for TRDOS images ? Pentagon 128/512 etc.

Scorpion has much closer timing to the original Spectrum but Pentagon timing is used for a lot of demos/games. It would be nice to have the core option instead of keep changing the model back and forth.

Research direction

Start by tracing the SCL and TRD image-loading path and the existing core-option handling for model selection. Identify where Scorpion becomes the default when the selected core model is not TRDOS-compatible. Done means a core option can select models such as Pentagon 128/512 for TRDOS images without manually changing the model, while preserving the current default behavior.
