VT02+ Registers
The VT03 is a famiclone with added capabilities. It uses "OneBus" instead of separate CPU and PPU buses, and supports a 4-bit color mode.

Timer Interrupt Preload Times ($4101) > write
When TSYNEN is 0, this register sets "the number of AD12 switching high low". When TSYNEN is 1, this register sets "the number of HSYNC switching high low" instead. (See $410B.)
Load Timer Interrupt Value ($4102) > write
Writing any value to this register will set the timer's value and start counting.
Timer Interrupt Disable ($4103) > write
Writing any value to this register will disable the timer interrupt.
Timer Interrupt Enable ($4104) > write
Writing any value to this register will enable the timer interrupt.

DMA Source Address High Byte ($4014) > write
Two bytes are required to set a DMA source address. This register sets the high byte of the address ($[XX]X0). Writing to this register also starts the DMA. The VT03 is capable of DMA for both video and sprite data; see register $4034 for more details.

"Under 64byte mode, VT03 cut the memory into 4 pieces. If you want to access complete 64 bytes. The low byte of address must be 00H, 40H, 80H or C0H, because VT03 will stop accessing when address counted to 3FH, 7FH, BFH or FFH respectively. Under 16 byte mode, VT03 cut the memory into 16 pieces. Under 128 byte mode, VT03 cut the memory into 2 pieces."
