As FloppusMaximus said here :

Well...

- Before calling OFFSCRPT, the OS turns the LCD off and disables all interrupts (via port 3.)
[...]
- GetKey halts the CPU, which freezes the system since interrupts have been disabled.

Well, then I am wrong

You've convinced me to go disassemble the mechanism that calls OFFSCRPT because I guess I don't actually know where it is.

I tried to turn back the LCD on in OFFSCRPT :

Code: [Select]

.org $8001
 ld a,3
 out ($10),a
 ret
.end

It effectively turned the LCD on ... but then freezed O.o

Well, the problem here is that your code was not actually being run. I forgot, but OFFSCRPT copies one too few bytes (which is why it starts at $8001 btw). So, when you make your call to bcall(_createAppvar), just increase the size by one.

Yay, I got it working !

This code, when turning the calc off by any mean, keeps the LCD on until you press [clear].

Code: [Select]

.org $8001
  ld a,3
  out ($10),a
loop:
  ld a,$FD
  out (1),a
  in a,(1)
  bit 6,a
  ret z
  jr loop
.end

I assume that it may be possible to run an Axe program as thepenguin77 said above but adding the two first lines of my code.

My problem was that the display turned off and I didn't notice the calculator was nevertheless turned on.

I will try it once again as soon as I have a bit more time
