Fix68010 changes the MOVE,SR (or whatever it is) instruction to one more
easily digestible by 010/020+ systems.  It modifies the executable.  It also
seems to modify DATA in these programs that looks like the MOVE instruction.
I had a number of programs that would fail on my 020, work fine if I executed
deciGEL, and go BONKERS if I Fix68010'd them.  I'd recommend staying away from
Fix68010.

Of course, I have no idea what your original problem is.  If SimCity works fine,
then it IS booting.  Just try running deciGEL as one of the first items in
your Startup-Sequence.  And delete all the programs you Fix68010'd and go back
to the originals.
