FM Towns on Daijisho

So I don't use Reddit, but after all the hours of getting this to work I felt like I should share my process for getting FM Towns running on my Odin 2 Portal.

I'm using a batch file loaded in Daijishō to open Winlator (Windows emulator), Tsugaru, load custom preset for the game and run the rom with a single action.

This should hopefully be applicable to other frontends and emulators. FM Towns was a rough one to work with, so thanks to the minds behind Tsugaru, Winlator CMOD and Daijisho!

Hopefully y'all can take something from this write up and suggest some improvements.

Is there much to do about a dead Marty laser?

Recently acquired a Marty along with an FM Towns tower computer. PC works great! But in the Marty, the disc doesn't even bother spinning, leading me to believe the laser is dead. I'm aware Deunan no longer produces the ODE, and finding any lasers at all is virtually impossible.

Am I out of luck with this one?
