I've been trying to track this bug for 3 days now! Here's what info i have on it...
this bug only appears on hardware, the rom runs fine when emulated
it happens only *sometimes* when i power on, i would think its an initializing problem, but im not sure which reg could cause this.. im using neviksti's initialization code.
it causes the SPC side to crash, i ran some tests and found a few corrupt bytes around the $7E0-$830 region. im not sure how these bytes got corrupted, but im suspecting the SNES-SPC transfer code.
my questions:
are there any uninitialized memory/regs that could cause this? http://ekid.ath.cx/InitSNES.asm
is my upload code correct? http://ekid.ath.cx/bootspc.txt
is there anything that can cause interference and make a the few bytes of data corrupted?
here is the rom with the bug http://ekid.ath.cx/bugged.smc ..it only appears on hardware and you have to power reset a bunch of times to catch it. the bg scrolling will freeze when it happens.
p.s. i also think my snes may be broken, or something... it would be nice if someone with a copier could confirm that this bug actually exists!
edit: the bug magically dissapeared when i was cleaning up some stuff
...but it would still be nice if someone could confirm this bug
