true that if we start changing this program on each release, then we 
should do it everytime, which could be pretty time consuming in the end.

I think a standalone intro released at the same time as a new Hatari 
version (and that could be run on real HW too) would have more visibility.

One of the main drawback of the cartridge for gemdos HD is that it's 
sometime seen as a ripping cartdridge and some games/demos will refuse 
to start unless the gemdos HD drive is ejected.
For this reason, I think that if we could have a better/stealthier mode 
not using cartridge then it would be easier for the user.
