How to program the cartrige?
|
||||
|
||||
Basically you have a 5 bit shift register connected to the high address
|
||||
bits of the EEPROM IC. So you need to write these 5 bits one by one.
|
||||
Every time you write a bit the ROM is changed. The ROM is paged
|
||||
at $0000-$3FFF, so you need place the paging routine in the RAM area.
|
||||
|
||||
There is also a LOCK bit. When you write a 1 in the LOCK bit the paging
|
||||
is locked. The cartridge has a LED indicating LOCK bit. To unlock paging
|
||||
you must push the button in the cartridge, or power off the spectrum.
|
||||
This also reset the page to 00000, where is the game selection menu.
|
||||
|
||||
There are 4 address to change these bits: $3FFC, $3FFD, $3FFE, $3FFF.
|
||||
Both reads and writes to this address will work and data bus is
|
||||
discarded. In this example I will use writes with LD (N), A instruction.
|
||||
The LSB of address (A0) is inserted into the shift register from the right
|
||||
to the left and the second bit (A1) is the LOCK bit.
|
||||
|
||||
So for example you want to go to the page 13 (pages are between 0 and 31)
|
||||
by activating the LOCK bit in the last bit. In binary (5 bits) is 01101.
|
||||
So you need to write 0, then 1, then 1, then 0 and finally 1. With the
|
||||
last 1 you need also to set LOCK=1.
|
||||
|
||||
LD ($3FFC), A ; Write 0. Now page is 00000 and LOCK=0
|
||||
LD ($3FFD), A ; Write 1. Now page is 00001 and LOCK=0
|
||||
LD ($3FFD), A ; Write 1. Now page is 00011 and LOCK=0
|
||||
LD ($3FFC), A ; Write 0. Now page is 00110 and LOCK=0
|
||||
LD ($3FFF), A ; Write 1. Now page is 01101 and LOCK=1
|
||||
|
||||
The locking mechanism is good for a game selection menu, when you want
|
||||
to disable future accidental paging once game is selected. But if
|
||||
you want create your own game (it can be up to 512K) is better avoid
|
||||
locking.
