Unfortunately there's only so much that can be done about crashes. The AROS core OS itself is generally reasonably stable, so as long as the games that get tweaked for the project are also reasonably stable it shouldn't be a big problem.
While there's no real "fixes" I'll do whatever bits and pieces I can do at an "advanced end user /casual developer" type level.
For example I could possibly have the OS copy to RAM: and have the system actually reboot from there (its more than quick enough so as not to be noticed unless you know what to look for) when going back to the "dashboard" between games sessions just to get rid of anything that has become resident that may encourage a crash to be more likely, memory leaks that software has caused, and so on and so forth. It wont "fix" anything, but it's something at least. Also make sure software has enough stack before launching (lack of stack being another common cause of crashes that many users dont think of). Little bits and pieces like that.
As I said its not a fix, but it can help here and there.
I'll have to change the aesthetics of guru meditation, etc prompts too I guess to something more inline with a console aesthetics. Not exactly what I'll do there yet. I'll probably do that towards the end once the aesthetics of the system itself is more mature. Some sort of crash log being sent to somewhere may actually even be useful for core OS developers, but that's beyond my own coding talents (networking is my nemesis). Obviously would prefer them not to occur in the 1st place, but any Amiga enthusiast knows that at some point their OS is going to crash. It may not happen often, but it is part of the experience
If its the sort of project that gets any sort of traction then perhaps re-evaluate from there.
As I was saying though, its mostly just for fun. No real desire to compete with anything, I just wanted to share it with anyone who might be interested.
Will make anything I do available to anyone who might be interested once Im more organized, but beyond that Im just having fun with it at the moment
p.s. please excuse the ramble-ey nature of the response. It's sort of just an off the cuff/thinking aloud type response while I kill a fove minutes waiting for public transport.

I tried to install Aros one on my Acer Aspire today, I used a flashdrive image burned with Etcher. Unfortunately, the mouse doesn't function, the pointer doesn"t appear. I have access to the dock (the icons are highlighted if I move the mouse). Thanks in advance for your advice.
