Is your loader/cruncher prodos-friendly? It would be extremely kickass to have a large harddisk partition loaded down with games, so that the user could pick from stuff like you can when you launch a mame front-end for example. Heck, I'll write you a graphical menu with mouse support if you could get the load/decrunch working in prodos (it's perfectly acceptable for the decrunch to overrite all memory including prodos, I don't mind rebooting)
Xevious is incompatible with BASIC.SYSTEM, otherwise it's fine. The files are of the BAS type and load at $0801. ($080B is the actual start-of-program address)
I use RDOS to make the files load faster, but I keep DOS 3.3 versions handy. Altering the code to support being used as pure BIN is easy enough.
