tacrec Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Don't remember ever seeing HALT before. Is this screen a clue as to why it crashes sometimes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Is that All-star MLB. That cartridge is known to crash, dumping Intellivision register data on the TV. Didn't know the emulator crashes as well. The 1BE8 could be the location of the last instruction; it is in the exec rom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendocon Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 There is a Halt instruction on the CPU. It has a binary value of zero. jzIntv writes "HALT!" to stdout when that happens. This is the kind of thing that happens when the CPU reads code as data. As is pointed out already, the Program Counter is in the 1xxx range, meaning the Executive ROM read a Halt instruction. That address is probably from the Exec function to write a number on the screen. Perhaps a hacked ROM caused the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
