m65 causes bad MEGA65 state #117

Closed johanberntsson closed 1 year ago

johanberntsson commented 2 years ago

I'm trying mounting and running a d81 from a bash script using m65 -d mygame.d81 -1 autoboot.c65 The program doesn't start and the MEGA goes into some strange state where I need to power cycle (reset doesn't work properly). Perhaps some of the workload within the m65 tool tries to pause the cpu, and un-pause it at certain times, and that logic has been muddled up due to some recent change done to m65 tool.

So, I am not sure here... You do mount a D81 virtually via m65. And then you tell it to load autoboot.c65 from your PCs disk to the MEGA65. Is this what you intend to do?

Just checked with m65 -d SOLI65.D81 -1 ~/Downloads/bsram.prg: System has access to the D81 and the bsram.prg is loaded into memory and can be started. All looks good. With autoboot.c65 as argument m65 failes, as I have no autoboot.c65 on my PCs harddrive. So I would say this is no bug, and there is no unstable situation.

Please supply exact versions used.

I guess you want the your command be something like: m65 -d mygame.d81 -T 'boot:' just checked this with the GEOS65.D81, Works for me in both master and merge2-m65dbg. The later is recommended on unix systems as it uses select to cut the 100% CPU usage.
