???

The application you sent, starts in couple of seconds for me:
hatari --fast-forward yes --monitor vga  -s 14 --machine falcon --dsp 
none --tos etos512k.img --fpu 68881 ./atari800.gtp

(And this is on nearly decade old i3.)

Starting of profiling when application starts, can be scripted with
chained breakpoints.

It doesn't even check whether there are any ROM files present,
only thing that it checks for is "atari800.cfg" file.

Should there be config file that specifies what it should load?
