A game not being on the compatibility list doesn't mean it's not compatible. I've found quite a few working games that aren't on the list yet, and given that IWBTG itself works, and has been fully TASed, it's quite possible that fangames will work as well.

Boshy is I think a different engine and uses the internet for scores and multiplayer so I wouldn't expect it to work.

I can't say when anything will be compatible, but thanks for letting me know that this game isn't. I might have seen another game with a similar issue, "Elona", since both games attempt to establish a network connection and wait forever on a title or loading screen. I wonder if these games run when disconnected from the internet... if so, Hourglass could simulate that. But it could also be an unknown problem unrelated to the network.

There are two ways you can handle it, and you may as well make it an option: 1) Make it so that the game doesn't connect. 2) Let it connect, and hope it doesn't cause desyncs. (If all it gets is fixed length information then it could never cause a desync unless it's used to seed something, right?) Also have some guarantee that the operation will complete in one frame or something?

boshy doesnt need the internet it only uses it with the automatic updates which can be made so that hourglass make boshy think there is no internet and the multiplayer aspect which wil be useless for TAS anyways and the frame thingy boshy operates nearly the same as the guy and GB only more smoother since solgryn knows more about multimediafusion 2 so it shouldt be that big of a problem:P hope to see boshy compatible soon want to rape the game same way it did to me during al those hours of gameplay
