Appler app freezes on launch with or without dynamic recompiler

[Sunspark-007]

What happened?

The app Appler (works in dosbox) which is an Apple 2 emulator coded in assembler just freezes when launching. Curiously, the title screen which does display has different colours displayed so there is a second issue present as well.

The wrong colors are the graphics card, this is on the Matrox Millennium II:
.

It also doesn't hang on a Pentium:
.

So NOTABUG, just use a Pentium and a better graphics card.
