Video remapping appears to be the cause of cartridges that do not load on the BBS web player. My game, Oops Airlines, can be found here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=143653 and freezes after the splash screen.
@pancelor helpfully created a smaller repro cart here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/cart_info.php?cid=fewoweguda-1
Hopefully this can get resolved soon. The binary exports and HTML exports work great on itch. And downloading the cart to run locally is also a workable solution in the meantime.
for extra clarity, my "repro" cart has major visual differences on desktop compared to the BBS player, and has something to do with the 0x5f54 / 0x5f55 pokes for spritesheet and screen remapping.
Oops Airlines, on the other hand, crashes on web (infinite recursion in the browser console) but works fine on desktop. (So, the "repro" cart is not actually reproducing the crash, it was just my quick attempt at reducing the bug, which ended up surfacing a related(?) bug)
oh! I didn't realize this was specifically something broken in the BBS player. the fact that it works fine in HTML exports is very interesting
