I have a special MegaSTe configuration that uses TOS 2.06 UK and sets the CPU to 16Mhz. When I look at the GEM desktop, the blitter is turned on. I have not run any system tests to confirm that it is really on, but Anarcho Ride seemed to be fluid for me when I ran it in this configuration.

Hi

I think this depends on the machine being emulated :

- TOS 1.62 is STE only, so machine will be forced to STE, which implies 
blitter ON, because STE always have a blitter.

- But if TOS 2.06 is compatible with STF (and I think it is), then I see 
no reason why TOS 2.06 should turn blitter ON when the machine is set to 
STF.

Note that Steem is supposed to be STE mode by default, so blitter will 
be turned on, whatever the TOS is.

I don't see any bug here, looks like a wrong machine choice in the settings.
