#REDICT [[NEO mapper/Extension]]
−
 
 
−
Proposal for an extension to the [[NEO mapper]] format.
 
−
 
 
−
== Specifications ==
 
−
 
 
−
=== Principles ===
 
−
 
 
−
Any write operation to the NEO mapper with address bits 10-12 set to 0 is considered as access to extended features. In that case, the mapper bank register is not modified.
 
−
 
 
−
All other write operations should be considered normal access to the mapper's bank register.
 
−
 
 
−
The address contains an 8-bit function ID, and a 3-bit destination bank value for function to be applied to a given mapper's bank.

=== Programmable processor and emulation ===
 
−
Here is a pseudo code in C to handle NEO mappers extension for programmable processor based cartridges or for emulators:
 
−
 
 
−
NEO-16 mapper:
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
 
−
const uint8* romData; // ROM data
 
−
uint16 bankValue[3]; // Bank switching register value
 
−
 
 
−
// Extended function prototypes
 
−
typedef void (*funcEnable_t)(bool, uint8);
 
−
typedef void (*funcWrite_t)(uint16, uint8);
 
−
typedef uint8 (*funcRead_t)(uint16);
 
−
// Extended functions table
 
−
funcEnable_t funcEnableTable[32];
 
−
funcWrite_t funcWriteTable[3];
 
−
funcRead_t funcReadTable[3];
 
−
 
 
−
// Handle device initialization
 
−
void NEO16_Init()
 
−
{
 
−
for (uint8 i = 0; i < 3; i++)
 
−
{
 
−
bankValue[i] = 0x0000;
 
−
funcWriteTable[i] = NULL;
 
−
funcReadTable[i] = NULL;
 
−
}
 
−
for (uint8 i = 0; i < 32; i++)
 
−
funcEnableTable[i] = NULL;
 
−
}
 
−
 
 
−
// Handle write access
 
−
void NEO16_Write(uint16 address, uint8 value)
 
−
{
 
−
uint8 bank = ((address >> 12) & 0x03) - 1; // Get the corresponding bank number
 
−
if (bank > 2)
 
−
return; // skip
 
−
 
 
−
if (funcWriteTable[bank] != NULL) // Check for bank write callback
 
−
{
 
−
funcWriteTable[bank](address, value);
 
−
}
 
−
else if ((address & 0x0001) && (value & 0x80)) // Handle extended function
 
−

−
uint8 funcId = value & 0x3F; // Get function ID
 
−
if (funcEnableTable[funcId] != NULL)
 
−
funcEnableTable[funcId](value & 0x40, (address >> 1) & 0xFF); // Execute function specific code
 
−
}
 
−
else // Write to the given bank register
 
−
{
 
−
if (address & 1) // Set bank register MSB
 
−
bankValue[bank] = ((value & 0x0F) << 8) | (bankValue[bank] & 0x00FF);
 
−
else // Set bank register LSB
 
−
bankValue[bank] = (bankValue[bank] & 0xFF00) | (value);
 
−
}
 
−
}
 
−
 
 
−
// Handle read access
 
−
uint8 NEO16_Read(uint16 address)
 
−
{
 
−
uint8 bank = address >> 14; // Get the corresponding bank number
 
−
if (bank > 2)
 
−
return 0xFF; // skip
 
−
 
 
−
if (funcReadTable[bank] != NULL) // Check for bank read callback
 
−
return funcReadTable[bank](address);
 
−
else
 
−
return romData[(bankValue[bank]) << 14 + (address & 0x3FFF)];
 
−
}
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
=== Extension example ===
 
−
Here is a pseudo code in C to handle a SRAM extension for NEO mapper:
 
−
 
 
−
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
 
−
uint8 sramSeg; // Current SRAM segment [0:15]
 
−
uint8 sramBank; // Current bank where SRAM is selected (0xFF if not selected)
 
−
uint8* sramData; // SRAM data (hardware specific)
 
−
 
 
−
// Write to SRAM
 
−
void SRAM_Write(uint16 address, uint8 value)
 
−
{
 
−
sramData[(sramSeg * 0x2000) + (address & 0x1FFF)] = value; //
 
−
}
 
−
 
 
−
// Read from SRAM
 
−
uint8 SRAM_Read(uint16 address)
 
−
{
 
−
return sramData[(sramSeg * 0x2000) + (address & 0x1FFF)];
 
−
}
 
−
 
 
−
// Enable/disable SRAM feature
 
−
void SRAM_Enable(bool enable, uint8 param)
 
−
{
 
−
if (sramBank != 0xFF) // Disable previous SRAM registration
 
−
{
 
−
if (funcWriteTable[sramBank] == SRAM_Write)
 
−
funcWriteTable[sramBank] = NULL;
 
−
if (funcReadTable[sramBank] == SRAM_Read)
 
−
funcReadTable[sramBank] = NULL;
 
−
sramBank = 0xFF;
 
−
}
 
−
 
 
−
if (enable) // Enable a SRAM segment in the given bank
 
−
{
 
−
uint8 bank = param & 0x07; // Get bank number
 
−
if (bank > 2)
 
−
return; // skip (for NEO-16)
 
−
 
 
−
sramSeg = (param >> 4) & 0x0F; // SRAM segment number
 
−
sramBank = bank;
 
−
funcWriteTable[sramBank] = SRAM_Write; // Register SRAM callbacks
 
−
funcReadTable[sramBank] = SRAM_Read;
 
−
}
 
−
}
 
−
 
 
−
// Initialize SRAM feature
 
−
void SRAM_Init()
 
−
{
 
−
sramBank = 0xFF;
 
−
funcEnableTable[0x04] = SRAM_Enable; // Register to function 0x04 (SRAM/FRAM feature)
 
−
}
 
−
</syntaxhighlight>
 
−
 
 
−
Then, you just need to call <tt>SRAM_Init()</tt> from <tt>NEO16_Init()</tt> to register the extended feature.
