Yep, I wasn't referring to AutoPlay - I meant having a CD which you
can double-click on a file in the root and it will play directly from
a mac emulator on the disc. Basically, I'm talking about not having
to install and configure the emulator.

Agreed, which is why even if we resort to just including the SSD and
emulator binary for the Mac, I think that's easily enough for most Mac
unix users. Ditto for unix users too, really.
