Re: [stella] LXA illegal opcode?

[Bad Panda Bear <badpandabear@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone.  I've been lurking on this mailing list for a few days and 
now seems like a good time to join in.

I just got a Brazillian "Supergame" system, which I believe is a version 
of the Coleco Gemini.  So I decided to give the test program a try using 
my Supercharger.

First I tried it with my 2600 Jr., and to my surprise the test failed 
(brownish red color.  Then I tried it with the Supergame system, and it 
succeeded (blue color). Then I tried it with my second 2600 Jr. and my 4 
switch woody. They both failed too. I then tried the Supergame system 
again, and it failed.

Now I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with my 
supercharger, so I tried playing Missle Command through it.  It worked 
fine on both my jr and Supergame. I then tried the original test program 
Dennis originally posted. The illegal opcode version worked twice on the 
supergame, and failed twice on the 2600 Jr.

So I figure either I'm going crazy, my supercharger setup is somehow 
wrong, or this opcode is very unstable. What you do you all think?
