I'm guessing that the "colored pixellation" you refer to is the
clearing of the hi-res screen during execution of the HGR command.

You could verify this by just typing HGR after starting the emulator.
The screen clearing takes about a second at 1MHz.

You could also re-run the program, since what will be cleared the
second time will be the program's output graph, not random pixels.

If KEGS hangs on HGR, then something is truly broken.
