Reproduce the crash by using the specified TOS v1.00 BIOS renamed to tos.img, loading the Xenon 2 - Megablast disk image, and pressing Y to open Hatari's main menu. Investigate the GUI path and video-driver/platform combinations involved; done means the main menu opens without crashing in the reported environments.
