Weird shutdown behavior in System 6

Post by rickyzhang »

Since I started to use BII to emulate System 6, I found that shutting down in System 6 can hang the emulation.

Before the guest OS System 6 calls the ShutDown A-trap A895, it runs to some weird logic. I have no better clues why.

Please let me know if you have any good infos on this topic.

thanks
There is an App for that!

I've experienced this with very specific ROM/OS/PRAM configurations.

My fix was to ensure I used a different PRAM file with each OS version I was running.
