Just write to some other device than screen, and check the output
from the file where you asked Hatari to write it.

Hatari's TOS bootup test program writes to a MIDI device:
https://git.tuxfamily.org/hatari/hatari.git/tree/tests/tosboot/disk/common.c#n167

Which is directed to a file by the test runner:
https://git.tuxfamily.org/hatari/hatari.git/tree/tests/tosboot/tos_tester.py#n494

Output wait on that file has a timeout:
https://git.tuxfamily.org/hatari/hatari.git/tree/tests/tosboot/tos_tester.py#n561

Handling single Hatari test run:
https://git.tuxfamily.org/hatari/hatari.git/tree/tests/tosboot/tos_tester.py#n594

When using MIDI device for this, note that it works only when
building Hatari with raw MIDI file access i.e. *without*
portmidi support.
