From rmundschau at frontiernet.net Wed Nov 25 20:40:57 2009 From: rmundschau at frontiernet.net (R Mundschau) Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:40:57 -0500 Subject: [stella] F4/F6/F8 Bank witching question. Message-ID: Alright, I have a question about the F4/F6/F8 bank switching approach. I understand how the bank switching hot spots work, but I am wondering is there any sort of debounce required during a switch? In other words, is the switch always instantaneous, or do I need a couple instructions after the switch to be identical between the two banks, because the processor might be reading from either the starting bank or the ending bank for the next couple cycles. Any advice? Thanks, Rob From kennedy.greg at gmail.com Wed Nov 25 22:02:26 2009 From: kennedy.greg at gmail.com (Greg Kennedy) Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:02:26 -0600 Subject: [stella] F4/F6/F8 Bank witching question. In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: You shouldn't need to worry about that... the bankswitch happens quickly enough that you won't need to "double up instructions". Do keep in mind that the PC has advanced those 3 bytes though, so be careful where your jump will end up. Example startup routine... ORG $E000 RORG $F000 ; allow 3 bytes for the other bank to get here ; when starting up from $F000, the LDA instruction takes up 3 bytes nop ; 1 nop ; 2 nop ; 3 ; once the bankswitch is completed, the PC is looking at $F004 for the next read reset: CLEAN_START ORG $EFFA RORG $EFFA .word reset .word reset .word reset ORG $F000 jumpToBank0 lda $FFF8 ORG $FFFA .word jumpToBank0 .word jumpToBank0 .word jumpToBank0 etc. (untested) On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 8:40 PM, R Mundschau wrote: > Alright, I have a question about the F4/F6/F8 bank switching approach. ?
