The VRAM DMA Transfer Style Table stores miscellaneous parameters for DMA transfers to/from VRAM.
Format
DMA Parameters
- Length: 1 byte (0x1)
- Offset within entry: 0x00
- Range of values: 0x00-0xFF
Value to be copied into the DMA Parameters register. Controls the DMA transfer pattern and direction.
DMA B-Bus Address
- Length: 1 byte (0x1)
- Offset within entry: 0x01
- Range of values: 0x18,0x19,0x39,0x3a (VRAM read/write registers)
Value to be copied into the DMA B-Bus Address register. Interpreted as an address within the $0021xx range.
Valid values for VRAM transfers:
18: VRAM Write Low register (also used when targeting both VRAM Write Low and VRAM Write High registers)19: VRAM Write High register39: VRAM Read Low register (also used when targeting both VRAM Read Low and VRAM Read High registers)3a: VRAM Read High register
VRAM Address Increment
- Length: 1 byte (0x1)
- Offset within entry: 0x02
- Range of values: 0x00-0xFF
Value to be copied into the VRAM Address Increment (VMAIN) register. Controls VRAM address increment and mapping for the transfer.
