CIA interrupt for reading keyboard

[DanielAllsopp]

Hey!

I'm busy implementing some code to read keypresses via a Level2 interrupt, which roughly follows the code from this example:

https://github.com/Sakura-IT/Amiga-p...merAndScreen.s

Everything works great, I can read the keypresses just fine however when my program quits and returns to the CLI, the prompt doesn't appear and keyboard entry obviously no longer works.

Has anyone got any ideas why installing this interrupt would cause a problem like this?

Shout if you need some example code and I'll put something together.

Cheers,
Daniel

Please post an exe, maybe is a tiny careless mistake

in my short test, the program works
A1200 configuration, with asmone >r, pass1, pass2 >a, wo prg
then in shell >prg
a black screen opens, now you can leave the program with 'ESC'
the cursor is now standing behind the prompt

Ooo it's my piece of code .
As ross said perhaps there is a mistake. Hm.... Perhaps I should restore cia registers first and then restore PORTS int (in code is opposite).

Your wish is my command ross:

Obviously AGA only. Should run as-is. Press ESC key to quit (and freeze).

Thanks.

Yeah, no doubt I've missed something really simple here as it works for the most part!

You do not restore the Lev2 IRQ vector at exit

move.l	oldIntPorts(a4),$68(a0)

Tremendous ross, how on earth did I miss that one?! I've been looking at that code for the last hour!

Thanks for pointing that out, nice spot and all fixed now! Thanks to Asman for the original code, and to Rock'n Roll for testing that original code too!

Now I can go and enjoy a glass of beer! Cheers guys!
