Planetoids hangs just after game start #600

Closed frankmilliron closed 5 months ago

frankmilliron commented 5 months ago

Just after the game field is drawn, a couple frames will advance then the game hangs.

I can't reproduce this in Virtual II. Please send a save-state.

frankmilliron commented 5 months ago

OK weird. Virtual ][ is just beachballing when I try to save a Machine Snapshot. Nevermind... If I remove the Z80 card it works.

peterferrie commented 5 months ago

That's still a thing to fix. I will try with the Z80 card.

The main game loop runs from $821 to $851. It runs through three times normally, then hangs on the fourth time through the loop, on the JSR $ED2, never exiting the loop from $F1E to $F37.

peterferrie commented 5 months ago

That loop has a guaranteed exit condition, so it's something else maybe corrupting the code. Please send a save-state.

frankmilliron commented 5 months ago

Wow. I really can't save a Machine State without hanging Virtual ][. The indirect, indexed read at $F2E (and others) from $70/71 may be getting corrupted. Points to $C2A0 once it's hung and I can see it looping through softswitch addresses it shouldn't. One of those has to be activating the Z80 hardware.

peterferrie commented 5 months ago

There's a theme here. $600-7FF content is missing in Marble Madness (which then causes the hang on pressing space), and presumably is damaged here, too (it holds the pointers used to set $70-71). I will keep looking.

peterferrie commented 5 months ago

Please send a save-state before starting play. Maybe I can trace from that point.

frankmilliron commented 5 months ago

Attached. PC was at $95E when I halted it. Hit 'P' to start. Planetoids.viisnapshot.zip

peterferrie commented 5 months ago

Perfect. It's a game bug. I will fix it.
