It doesn't have to have to be an inturrupt... maybe at the end of a
game, when it says game over, it can signal to Zshell to turn itself
off after 5 min, until further notice. The signal can be a rom call,
because isn't that what zshell does... tricks the RAM into being
ROM?? The new rom call can be something like CALL_ROM(POWER)
Then, Zshell will stop the program, save the state of the interrupt, display "Auto-power off in 5
min Press ON to Abort" and run a delay loop for 5 minutes. If the
person presses ON (the interrupt) it would go back to the program and
restore the interrupt. Is this possible? Do i know what i'm
blabbering about???
minutes, unless it is interrupted by ON
