Mapper ideas
- CHR hardware scrolling unit
- Scrolls portions of pattern table with wrapping for hardware accelerated parallax effects
- implementation: two CHR ROMs with alternately stored tiles (VRAM address %0AAAAA AAAcBBBB -> ROM %c, address in ROM %AAAAAAAABBBB) for parallel fetching of pixel rows
- Scrolls portions of pattern table with wrapping for hardware accelerated parallax effects
- CHR color remapping unit
- ExGraphix-like, with each byte in ExRAM storing a color index (0-3) to be remapped to in a character, for every source color index (0-3). This would allow to conserve some palette/CHR-ROM space in some cases.
Example:
- ExGraphix-like, with each byte in ExRAM storing a color index (0-3) to be remapped to in a character, for every source color index (0-3). This would allow to conserve some palette/CHR-ROM space in some cases.
ExRAM byte = %01010000, or 1100 in quaternary system: remap 0 to 0, 1 to 0, 2 to 1, 3 to 1
Original character:
.defchr $00000000,
$02233200,
$02100120,
$03000030,
$03333310,
$03000030,
$03000030,
$03222210
Remapped:
.defchr $00000000,
$01111100,
$01000010,
$01000010,
$01111100,
$01000010,
$01000010,
$01111100
- DPCM converter
- Converts any on-cartridge audio to DPCM and returns it to CPU on sample reads so that there's audio expansion on NES!
- DMC rate control would coarsely alter pitch if the conversion rate is constant
- Converts any on-cartridge audio to DPCM and returns it to CPU on sample reads so that there's audio expansion on NES!
- DPCM hardware mixer
- Plays back (by returning to CPU on sample read) multiple samples at different speeds
