1. Running the Stars Demo (PD), I got an invalid opcode ($12), and the emulator tries to RESET.
2. Loading a new ROM makes the bug to trigger... see the screenshot. Not only that game, but any other.

WTF is that?

It is some assembly code error. An opcode is a number for the instruction that is running. What ROM are you playing? I'd recommend using Nestopia as your emulator.

1. The ROM ends up reading from un-cleared RAM starting at $0784. Emulators that initilize RAM with $FF will end up eventually at instruciton $12. If you initialize all RAM to 0 instead, the demo should run just fine.

2. Not sure aside from stating the obvious that something isn't being reset properly.

Yeah, that's a known problem. ^_^;;

Did you said... OBVIOUS? :lol:

Joke aside, it's not happening on soft/hard reset, or even when I load another ROM. Weird and found it by accident.

Found the problem. The gfx frame pointer wasn't being set to zero. Well, it was an obscure problem... but I guess details won't be interesting anyways. ^_^;;
