PRG setup

• $1000-$17FF: ExRAM (write-only)
• $1800-$1FFF: Registers (write-only)
• $5000-$57FF: ExRAM
• $5800-$5FFF: Registers
• $6000-$7FFF: 8K RAM bank
• $8000-$BFFF: 16K switchable ROM bank
• $C000-$DFFF: Bottom half of 16K switchable ROM bank
• $E000-$FFFF: Fixed to the last ROM bank

CHR setup

• $0000-$0FFF: 4K switchable ROM or RAM bank, or CIRAM
• $1000-$1FFF: 4K switchable ROM or RAM bank, or CIRAM
• $2000-$2FFF: 4K switchable ROM or RAM bank, or CIRAM
• $3000-$3FFF: 4K switchable ROM or RAM bank, or CIRAM

Registers

Registers are mapped at $5800-$5FFF, using the low four bits as a register number. There may be different registers for reading as for writing. The same registers are also mapped at $1800-$1FFF, however reading from those address may result in bus conflicts. Writing there is OK, though.

Therefore, the address mask is:

[0.01 1... .... xxxx]

$5800 (W)

[ESMM CCCC]
 |||| ||||
 |||| ++++--- CIRAM enable
 ||++-------- Nametable mirroring
 |+---------- CIRAM swap
 +----------- Enable console audio

If the "E" bit is cleared, then only the expansion audio is played, and the audio from 2A03 + microphone is disabled.

Nametable mirroring decides the connection of CIRAM A10, depending on "MM", and then that address line is XORed by "S", as follows:

• 00 = PA10
• 01 = PA11
• 10 = PA12
• 11 = PA13

The "CCCC" decides which sections of PPU address space are accessing CIRAM (if the bit is clear, CIRAM is used; if set, the CHR ROM/RAM in the cartridge is used):

• bit0 = $0000-$0FFF
• bit1 = $1000-$1FFF
• bit2 = $2000-$2FFF
• bit3 = $3000-$3EFF

$5800 (R)

[.... XXXX]
      ||||
      ++++--- 4-bit ADC

This register is a 4-bit ADC for the 2A03+microphone audio. Mute and expansion audio are not applied; it is the same audio signal as cartridge is receiving at first.

$5801 (W)

[VV.P PPPP]
 || | ||||
 || +-++++--- 16K PRG ROM bank at $8000-$BFFF
 ++---------- Video mode

The video modes can be:

• 00 = No special modes.
• 01 = When reading the nametables (not counting the attribute tables): Copy PPU address bit0 to bit0 of register $580F. Copy PPU address bit5 to bit1 of register $580F and to bit6 of register $5800. Copy PPU address bit10 XOR PPU address bit11 to bit0 of register $5807.
• 10 = When reading addresses $1FDx or $1FEx of pattern tables: Copy PPU address bit4 to bit4 of register $5800 and to bit0 of register $5807.
• 11 = When reading the nametables (not counting the attribute tables): Copy PPU address bit0 to bit0 of register $5807. Copy PPU address bit5 to bit1 of register $5807. Copy PPU address bit10 XOR PPU address bit11 to bit1 of register $5800.

$5801 (R)

[AAAA AAAA]
 |||| ||||
 ++++-++++--- PPU address

This data will read bit11-bit4 of the PPU address according to what it was during the most recent nametables (not attribute tables) read.

$5802 (W)

[IILP PPPP]
 |||| ||||
 |||+-++++--- 8K PRG ROM bank at $C000-$DFFF
 ||+--------- IRQ latch
 ++---------- IRQ mode

This is actually the low 8K of a 16K bank, so the high 8K of a 16K bank cannot be mapped into $C000-$DFFF.

The IRQ latch is just output to the IRQ pin, and can be manually set. Depending on IRQ mode, it may also automatically set it too.

$5803 (W)

[HHHH .BBB]
 ||||  |||
 ||||  +++--- 8K PRG RAM bank at $6000-$7FFF
 ++++-------- High 4-bits of ExRAM mode

$5804

Same as register $580C, but for channel 1.

$5805

Same as register $580D, but for channel 1.

$5806

Same as register $580E, but for channel 1.

$5807 (W)

[HHHH LLLL]
 |||| ||||
 |||| ++++--- 4K CHR bank at $0000-$0FFF
 ++++-------- 4K CHR bank at $1000-$1FFF

If there is both CHR ROM and CHR RAM, then the high bit (bit3) of the bank number selects between ROM and RAM (ROM if cleared, RAM if set).

If CHR RAM is enabled but that address range is also set to CIRAM, then reading will read CIRAM, but writing will write both the CIRAM and the cartridge CHR RAM.

$5808

Same as register $580C, but for channel 2.

$5809

Same as register $580D, but for channel 2.

$580A

Same as register $580E, but for channel 2.

$580B (W)

[LLLL LLLL]
 |||| ||||
 ++++-++++--- Low 8-bits of ExRAM mode

$580C (W)

[P..W AAAA]
 |  | ||||
 |  | ++++--- AND mask
 |  +-------- Waveform (0: saw, 1: square)
 +----------- Phase reset if bit is cleared

The waveform is used to determine the output values:

• Saw: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
• Square: 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30 0 0 30 30

These values from the waveform are then taken, the AND mask is left shift by one and add one, and it is bitwise AND by the result, to determine the output level.

$580C (R)

[...P PPPP]
    | ||||
    +-++++--- Phase output

This register outputs the phase value from 0 to 31 which is the index into the waveform.

$580D (W)

[XXXX XXXX]
 |||| ||||
 ++++-++++--- Low bits of period of channel 3

$580E (W)

[XXXX XXXX]
 |||| ||||
 ++++-++++--- High bits of period of channel 3

$580F (W)

[HHHH LLLL]
 |||| ||||
 |||| ++++--- 4K CHR bank at $2000-$2FFF
 ++++-------- 4K CHR bank at $3000-$3EFF

If there is both CHR ROM and CHR RAM, then the high bit (bit3) of the bank number selects between ROM and RAM (ROM if cleared, RAM if set).

If CHR RAM is enabled but that address range is also set to CIRAM, then reading will read CIRAM, but writing will write both the CIRAM and the cartridge CHR RAM.

ExRAM

ExRAM is at $5000-$57FF, but there are only 256 bytes, mirrored across this range. It is also writable at $1000-$17FF, but there is bus conflicts if you try to read it from this address.

Reading/writing it can have various effects on the data and address, depending on the ExRAM mode setting.
