Behaviour not seen in KEGS emulator on Windows or android (although going to 'about this Apple II' locks the emulator up, but that's a different issue!)
Repros for me in MAME via Ample, ROM 01 IIgs.
Thanks for the report! This was fun. The issue was caused by not resetting a bit in NEWVIDEO
. Apparently all three of SHADOW
, SPEED
and NEWVIDEO
can affect shadowing on the IIgs.
When Returning to Desktop after quitting various //GS Applications, the display is corrupted. Desktop seem to otherwise be running normally, but the display is 'fragmented', rendering it unusable
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: On Apple //GS Rom 03:
Expected behavior Desktop starts normally
Screenshots
Additional context
Happens with a few GS Apps I've tried so far, SHR viewer and NoiseTracker. Resetting to bitsy-bye and then launching Desktop again fixes it. It looks like perhaps the apps mess with some video mode registers, and don't put them back where the found them, and Desktop assumes they're set to default when booting. maybe. idk, i'm no expert.
Will try on an emulator as soon as I get one set up, there's a small but non-zero chance its a fault in my hardware, although it seems to be ok - will find some diagnostic tools!
