We're getting really close to the release of Commodore OS 3 and I'm rushing to get some of the more nice-to-have things in for launch.
I am busy with a few things simultaneously, but the thing getting the most time right now is a new alternate Universal ROM Emulation launcher that goes beyond the Linux system file associations. As a default the existing COS2 scripts for RunCommodore will run as is until the Universal ROM Emulation Launcher is ready. It might take a few updates to get things right. I've now automated a system for more frequent updates.
Emulation will ultimately be launched via the LOAD command. e.g. LOAD AmigaFile.adf or LOAD C64File.D64.
Of course it will do the usual process or better of mapping multiple disks and I hope to make it even process zip files.
It should work out the correct emulator to run via both the extension and a hint within the folder path,
e.g LOAD /usr/share/commodoreos/system/Commodore/C64/ADiskFile.d64 will see "64" in the path, and not confuse it with the same d64 files for any of the other commodore machines.
I know the VIC-20 has some more stringent demands regarding cartridge memory while I'll probably have to get to in an update.
The ROM launcher should be able to execute absolutely any emulator, not just the Commodore ones, and so I have created a config file (below).
Any suggestions or help in working out all the file associations in this thread for all the below emulators would be appreciated.
Here is a list of the emulators included in Commodore OS 3.0, so you can see I have my work cut out for me.
Of course some of the emulators like Mednaffe and Ares etc and whatever lies beneath them, can perform emulation for heaps of other systems not listed. You will still need to hunt down and include system ROMs for some of these emulators for obvious reasons.

I'll keep the this top post as the main source, that will be modified.
I'll try to modify the config as I go. Don't worry so much about the parameter numbering, I will correct it in the final.
Also, I'll probably be adding an optional EmuXSystemRom parameter and an EmuXSystemRomFallback parameter, to handle kickstart selection for the Amigas.
