Memory Access / Multiplexing

Due to limited pins, cartridge/ main memory access and VRAM access are multiplexed over one same bus.

4-cycles are divided as follows:

  • 0: Cartridge address setup (for external latching)
  • 1: VRAM access
  • 2: WRAM or cartridge RW
  • 3: VRAM access

Note that VRAM/WRAM seperation is based on function unit: Only PPU accesses VRAM on cycle 2 and 4. If CPU accesses VRAM, it would still happen on cycle 3.
