  • If I press "PAUSE" on the ps/2 keyboard while I am in the main menu of the TC a rasterbar is appearing for a fraction of a second randomly placed in the border (white color rasterbar). Just wondering if you can try to reproduce it and tell my what the reason is. I am just askin out of curiosity :)


    To reproduce: power on TCv2 with latest 9o FW and while in the main menu, press PAUSE 2-3 times a second for a while to see the gfx artifact.

  • Pause is the RESTORE key, which causes an NMI. You can confuse just about any piece of software with random NMIs - Tobias will be able to tell you what the NMI service routine of the menu does.

  • This is really strange - because NMI should be completely disabled when the menu is running (the NMI handler does nothing besides inc/dec $d020)


    I have to investigate why this happens. It looks like it only ever happens in standalone mode
