JOYSTICK/JOYPAD: =============== Digital Joypad JOYSTICK: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It seems that as a rule the bits are low active in these registers. 16 12 8 4 0 +-+-------^------+--+---------+---------+ |u| unused |mu| col 1 | col 0 | Write only +-+--------------+--+---------+---------+ 15 8 7...4 3...0 col 0: column control of joypad 0 Here you select which column of the joypad to poll. The columns are: Joystick Joybut col_bit| 3 2 1 0 1 0 -------+--+--+--+-- ---+------ 8 | R L D U A PAUSE (RLDU = Joypad directions) 9 | * 7 4 1 B 10 | 2 5 8 0 C 11 | 3 6 9 # OPTION You select a column my clearing the appropriate bit and setting all the other "column" bits. col1: column control of joypad 1 This is pretty much the same as for joypad EXCEPT that the column addressing is reversed (strange!!) Joystick Joybut col_bit| 3 2 1 0 1 0 -------+--+--+--+-- ---+------ 12 | 3 6 9 # OPTION 13 | 2 5 8 0 C 14 | * 7 4 1 B 15 | R L D U A PAUSE (RLDU = Joypad directions) mute (mu): sound control You can turn off the sound by clearing this bit. unknown (u): unknown Theory: you can bankswitch to another set of Joypad control registers. Since we only got two ports, keep this set. 16 12 8 4 0 +---------+---------+---------^---------+ | pad 1 | pad 0 | unused | +---------+---------+-------------------+ 15...12 11...8 7...0 Reading this register gives you the output of the selected columns of the pads. The buttons pressed will appear as cleared bits. See the description of the column addressing to map the bits to the buttons. JOYBUTS: =-=-=-= 16 12 8 4 0 +---------^---------^---------+----+----+ | unused | b1 | b0 | RO +-----------------------------+----+----+ 15...4 3..2 1..0 b0: button read out for pad 0 bit 0: PAUSE, OPTION status bit 1: A, B, C status b1: button read out for pad 1 bit 2: PAUSE, OPTION status bit 3: A, B, C status Returns the status of some of the Joypad buttons. You address which information you want with the JOYSTICK register (described above). Analog Joystick ANAJOY: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 16 12 8 4 0 +---------^---------^---------^-+--+--+-+ | ??? |p |n |a| WO +-------------------------------+--+--+-+ axis (a) : select X or Y for polling Set this bit to 1 for Y-axis polling, cleared: X-axis joystick (n): select joystick (??) Clear for joystick 0, set for joystick 1 poll (p): poll bit (??) Set this to one to initiate polling/ADC conversion ? It appears that after you start polling you need to give the ADC 40 us time to convert the value. 16 12 8 4 0 +---------^---------+---------^---------+ | unused | value | RO +-------------------+-------------------+ 7...0 value: 8 bit value from the ADC CONFIGURATION STUFF: =================== CONFIG: =-=-=-= 16 12 8 4 0 +---------^---------^------+--+---------+ | ??? |pl| ??? | +--------------------------+--+---------+ 15...5 4 3...0 palflag (pl): if this flag is set, you have a NTSC jaguar else it's a PAL Jag
