$A130xx area usage
The $A13000
to $A130FF
address range is special
in that the /TIME
signal on the cartridge slot is asserted
whenever the 68000 accesses it (simplifying the wiring for extra
on-cartridge hardware). However it's a limited range, so we want to make
sure to avoid stepping on each other.
Addresses | Used by |
---|---|
$A13000 to $A1300F | Private use |
$A130C0 to $A130CF | Mega Wifi |
$A130D0 to $A130E7 | Mega Everdrive |
$A130EC to $A130EF | 32X signature |
$A130F0 to $A130FF | Sega mapper |
Pier Solar uses the $A13000
to $A1300F
region
for its custom mapper and EEPROM access. It wouldn't be recommended to
put anything there that you want to be usable across multiple games.
$A130E8
is being eyed for potential standarization on
EEPROM use.
