I guess he means that since ROM has a different CRC, then a program 
could check it and see if the tos is altered, which could mean program 
is running under an emulator.

But we already have several patches that do the same and even our gemdos 
HD emulation is seen as a cartdridge running at $FA0000 which is 
sometimes detected by the protection of some demos or games (which will 
refuse to start unless HD emulation is disabled), so there's nothing new 
here : non standard enhancements often require patches to TOS and can be 
detected at run time. If you want an "undetectable" emulator, don't use 
Hatari's specific features such as HD, VDI, ...
