Hi Peter,
What a nice achievement. I am sure this will have a follow up. If not from me, then from Martin. Personally I do not own a working CMM2 anymore. So I am waiting for availability to order a new one.
I estimate that when (me/Martin) pick this up, that first we will do is make use of the video capabilities of the CMM2, and use the original graphics (VGA 256 colors). In other words, create a new sprite library.
Another thing could be to perfect the gameplay details more. The CMM2 is 5-10x faster than the pico, so it will allow deeper search routines to get closer to the DOS version. I had to cut some corners there in the pico.
But it is very good to hear that it is possible.

The changes you made in the program, correct me if I am wrong, are in some cases using a different command. Is it an idea to harmonize that between the basic dialects?
LOAD IMAGE -> LOAD BMP
I guess this is just a command name change.
Maybe similar for FRAMEBUFFER and PAGE ?
I do expect that FLASH LOAD and MEMORY INPUT under the hood are different.
