Help Needed
Post Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2019 6:28 pm
Hello, I post here if somebody can help me

Trying to fix GG2SMS problems with Tilemap writting to $3800

I need to copy partial RAM to VRAM, for example:

( $D500-$D900 RAM ) to ( $200-$600 VRAM )

$D500 RAM =$200 VRAM
$D501 RAM =$201 VRAM
$D502 RAM =$202 VRAM
$D503 RAM =$203 VRAM
...
$D900 RAM =$600 VRAM

Thankyou

You can copy data to VRAM using the otir opcode.

you set VRAM (write) address by doing

ld hl,#$4200   ; (your $200 address + $4000 for writing)
ld c,#$BF      ; (VDP Control Port)
di
out (c),l
out (c),h
ei


then you copy your data (4 times 256 bytes) from RAM to VRAM

ld hl,$D500
ld c,#$BE    ; (VDP Data Port)
ld a,#4
ld b,0
-:
OTIR        ; ( copy 256 bytes )
dec a       ; (4 times)
jr nz, -


please be aware that OTIR is too fast if you're writing to VRAM *not* during vBlank.
