The ngpc starts correctly in color mode and the set up menu works, but when a cartridge is inserted the core hangs up.

frame_00659

The CPU stays in a loop leaving it briefly only for blanking interrupts.

$4e01 is a RAM0 address. The interrupt service increments this position:

The palette mux was registered and the extra clock cycle was altering the data going into the CPU. Fixed in 305a9b7c
