Gustavo,

Something very strange is happening. I downloaded your CCAG.zip archive and 
extracted the ROVER.DSK. The binary on it (ROVER.BIN) is a byte for byte match 
with that in the Color Computer Archive. When mounted on MESS as a Coco3, your 
copy behaves exactly like that from the Archive.

Now, when I switch to coco3p (PAL) emulation, then both versions start 
automatically. Not only that, but instead of jumping the channel, the rover 
explodes in the initial demo.
Clearly the difference is caused either by the ROM (coco3) or MESS, not the 
origin of the game. Given that your site suggests you are not using an NTSC 
Coco3 (site language is not English), that may be why you have different results 
with the game than I do. I can't account for Robert H's results with the disk 
you sent to him.
