   It is not sure, but very few problems can occur in my opinion:   
      
   * the ROM address has changed between STF and STE, so programs that use   
   direct addressing (to read the ROM header for example) will hang.   
      
   * the same for joystick informations, the addresses have changed and if   
   you address them directly, you won't get the expected informations.   
      
   I remember that the STOS games had a table included that gave access to   
   addresses according to the TOS version. Even with an old STOS game, you   
   could edit this table to add your own informations, that's how I made   
   some games run on the TT long time ago.   
   I remember that then, a program was made to automatize this operation.
