VDP Pattern: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:48, 17 July 2012

Definition

The pattern generator start at 0x0 at VRAM and each pattern consist of a 8x8 pixel definition (8x16 in interlace mode 2).

Each pixel is defined by a 4 bit nibble corresponding to a color number in a palette. Therefore 32 bytes are required to a complete pattern (64 bytes in interlace mode 2).

Example

A lovely cherry made of 4 tiles and its palette
