"Kein Cursor aber tippen geht" hört sich komisch an, dh der Rechner funktioniert im Prinzip? Kann man ein Spiel laden und starten? Und das läuft dann mit kaputter Grafik?

If you do - please report them

The goal is of course 100% cycle exactness in every aspect.
However, we work on different things when we can justify spending more time on them, and the more things are fixed the longer fixing the remaining bits will take
-
Well if it worked before, then perhaps one of the CIAs is bad? Try swapping them against each other (that might make the keyboard work but you get problems with the IEC bus instead)
-
Please make a new thread and describe exactly what the problem is - the original post doesn't mention joysticks, for example.

While this sounds like an interesting challenge - I doubt we have the resources to implement this as an extra operation mode, sorry
-
Nope. It'd never work significantly better than using Action Replay or similar cartridges.

The option in the menu only selects the "hardware" - you still have to load a ROM into the respective slot.
And yes, you can either load the ROMs at startup, or flash them permanently - see manual

You can find out about 40 tracks support easily: if it uses only regular DOS, then it doesn't have 40 track support - it needs a bit of custom drivecode.

Is it possible to connect a C= 1541 to a catweasel and write a 40 track D64 image back to a real disk.
No
However, if you have a regular PC drive connected to it, you can write a 40 track d64 to it if i am not remembering it completely wrong. (I don't remember if we implemented 40 Tracks in Imagetool). However, i realize those disks can not always be read correctly with a 1541 for some reason - it may help to completely erase them using a degauss coil first.
That said, i think there exist some C64 tools that can do what you want - ie read the d64 from sd2iec as a file (not mounted d64 image) and write it out to a real 1541. I dont remember if those support 40 tracks though, for example dracopy can perhaps do this. (Perhaps ask around on lemon64)

Yes, works perfectly fine
-
In the manual, see 6.1 "Boot Loader" on where to put them and how to name them for loading at powerup, or 3.1 "Update using update.prg" on how to flash them permanently.

No more than the inevitable - unless you are comparing with a VGA CRT there will be no difference
-
There is a list on the wiki - guruterm seems to be the only one so far.

Source isn't open, but the binary can be found easily on various websites (search for something like "dead test 586220".
However, using it without the test rig isn't very useful - and some of the tests do depend on specific ICs (ROMs, CIA), which is probably why the PLA test fails (The "Interrupt" test fails on "new" CIA iirc, the SID check requires the rig and fails if the paddle values are just slightly off the expected ones)

You could just flash a blank file of course :=)

64 GB eMMC module and a eMMC module reader to micro SD card adapter, in combination with (any ol') micro SD to SD Card adapter.
To be honest, i am not surprised that such a contraption does not work. - It could be a power issue, or SPI simply doesnt work with this. I don't think we can do anything about it. You could try if it works in other cores, if it does then at least we can tell its a software or core issue.

Depending on what kind of circuit it uses there will be a significant voltage drop - which is why adding those "protectors" as seperate devices (instead of building them into the PSU) is generally a bit questionable.

I'm using a modern power supply for the c64
That might be the problem actually Is the same PSU used for the drive? If you can, use the original (and seperate) PSUs
-
This? https://gotek.nl/c64-power-protector-plus/ - looks like one of those rather questionable relay based things to me - i'd rather invest into a PSU with crowbar circuit.
