This scheme was originally designed to have up to 8 4K banks, and is triggered by monitoring the address bus for address $01FE. All released carts had only two banks, and this implementation assumes that (ie, ROM is always 8K, and there are two 4K banks). The following is paraphrased from the original patent by David Crane, European Patent Application # 84300730.3, dated 06.02.84: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The twelve line address bus is connected to a plurality of 4K by eight bit memories. The eight line data bus is connected to each of the banks of memory, also. An address comparator is connected to the bus for detecting the presence of the 01FE address. Actually, the comparator will detect only the lowest 12 bits of 1FE, because of the twelve bit limitation of the address bus. Upon detection of the 01FE address, a one cycle delay is activated which then actuates latch connected to the data bus. The three most significant bits on the data bus are latched and provide the address bits A13, A14, and A15 which are then applied to a 3 to 8 de-multiplexer. The 3 bits A13-A15 define a code for selecting one of the eight banks of memory which is used to enable one of the banks of memory by applying a control signal to the enable, EN, terminal thereof. Accordingly, memory bank selection is accomplished from address codes on the data bus following a particular program instruction, such as a jump to subroutine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that in the general scheme, we use D7, D6 and D5 for the bank number (3 bits, so 8 possible banks). However, the scheme as used historically by Activision only uses two banks. Furthermore, the two banks it uses are actually indicated by binary 110 and 111, and translated as follows: binary 110 -> decimal 6 -> Upper 4K ROM (bank 1) @ $D000 - $DFFF binary 111 -> decimal 7 -> Lower 4K ROM (bank 0) @ $F000 - $FFFF Since the actual bank numbers (0 and 1) do not map directly to their respective bitstrings (7 and 6), we simply test for D5 being 0 or 1. This is the significance of the test '(value & 0x20) ? 0 : 1' in the code. NOTE: Consult the patent application for more specific information, in particular *why* the address $01FE will be placed on the address bus after both the JSR and RTS opcodes. @author Stephen Anthony; with ideas/research from Christian Speckner and alex_79 and TomSon (of AtariAge) */ class CartridgeFE : public Cartridge { friend class CartridgeFEWidget; public: /** Create a new cartridge using the specified image @param image Pointer to the ROM image @param size The size of the ROM image @param settings A reference to the various settings (read-only) */ CartridgeFE(const BytePtr& image, uInt32 size, const Settings& settings); virtual ~CartridgeFE() = default; public: /** Reset device to its power-on state */ void reset() override; /** Install cartridge in the specified system.
