Thanks for your feedback.
I think the next release will solve alot of problems related to crashes and lanscape v portrait mode.
Also if the game will run (even if its a 68000 CPU) I will include it in the Mega build. The goal is to have a playable min version, and a playable max version (playable being by my perspective :)

Plus we have better graphic routines and faster CPU speeds coming soon. It wil be most interesting to see what comes next. :)
