Why don't you use PCUAE any more, I fixed Autoboot, It will not do that again..?
That was a accident and that what happens if you use a Development version of PCUAE, it not released yet, I have to try things in it to see if they work, If I don't try new things I don't know if I can do it that way or not or be able to add different options to it.
You can get Boulder Dash 16 in PCU Games Manager, copy its vsf.gz and unzip it and you should have a vsf file, now rename it to .prg and run it in File Loader or Classic Mode.

Trust me it will not happen again, Autoboot does not touch S99redquark script now, it the script that makes it boot from the firmware, I tried to back it up and replace it with my script before.
If you look in ..options/boot folder you see it only copied my script to int.d folder on the firmware and do not remove anything from it, only when you disable Autoboot it deletes my script.
in autoboot.sh script file... I had to rewrite it so it could check S99redquark script and if its ok.
I know how you fell, I only have one THEVIC20 and can't afford to replace it, I use PCUAE too.
echo "Autoboot is checking if its in the firmware..." >/dev/ttyS0
if [ ! -e /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/autoboot_in_firmware ]
then
mount -o remount,rw /
echo "-->No its not in the firmware... fixing now....." >/dev/ttyS0
sleep 1
cp -f /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/autobootfirmware.sh /etc/init.d/S95pcuboot 2>/dev/ttyS0
sleep 1
echo "-->All done. Autoboot is in the firmware now and can Autoboot PCUAE when turning on the Machine" >/dev/ttyS0
touch /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/autoboot_in_firmware
mount -o remount,ro /
else
echo "-->Yes, Autoboot is in the firmware already, all OK" >/dev/ttyS0
fi
echo "Autoboot is checking if S99redquark script is in the firmware and is OK..." >/dev/ttyS0
if [ ! -e /etc/init.d/S99redquark ] then
systemversion=$(strings /usr/bin/the64 | grep 'argent\|shield\|amora\|ares\|songbird') 2>/dev/ttyS0
# Making sure the right S99redquark script is in the right machine and if its not there then it copies it back.
if echo "$systemversion" | grep -q "argent"; then
cp -f /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/S99redquark_mini.bak /etc/init.d/S99redquark 2>/dev/ttyS0
sleep 1
elif echo "$systemversion" | grep -q "shield"; then
cp -f /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/S99redquark_mini.bak /etc/init.d/S99redquark 2>/dev/ttyS0
sleep 1
elif echo "$systemversion" | grep -q "amora"; then
cp -f /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/S99redquark_maxi.bak /etc/init.d/S99redquark 2>/dev/ttyS0
sleep 1
elif echo "$systemversion" | grep -q "ares"; then
cp -f /tmp/pcu/Carousel_Games/Options/boot/S99redquark_maxi.bak /etc/init.d/S99redquark 2>/dev/ttyS0
sleep 1
else
echo "-->Yes, S99redquark script is in the firmware already, all OK" >/dev/ttyS0
fi
I guess it would be better to use PCUAE 1.3.1 and wait for v1.3.2 release.

Yes - if you leave auto boot on then power off and remove the usb with PCUAE then the next time you start without USB it will be the standard firmware Carousel.
If you insert the usb before powering on the autoboot will start PCUAE
If you insert the USB after power on then autoboot does nothing and you can choose to start PCUAE from the settings and firmware menu.
