<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Address Span:</strong> <code>0x2000000</code> to <code>0x203FFFF</code> (256k)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This is a big pile of space, the use of which is up to each game. However, the
|
|
external work ram has only a 16-bit bus (if you read/write a 32-bit value it
|
|
silently breaks it up into two 16-bit operations) and also 2 wait cycles (extra
|
|
CPU cycles that you have to expend <em>per 16-bit bus use</em>).</p>
|
|
<p>It's most helpful to think of EWRAM as slower, distant memory, similar to the
|
|
"heap" in a normal application. You can take the time to go store something
|
|
within EWRAM, or to load it out of EWRAM, but if you've got several operations
|
|
to do in a row and you're worried about time you should pull that value into
|
|
local memory, work on your local copy, and then push it back out to EWRAM.</p>
|
|
<a class="header" href="#internal-work-ram-iwram" id="internal-work-ram-iwram"><h2>Internal Work RAM (IWRAM)</h2></a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Address Span:</strong> <code>0x3000000</code> to <code>0x3007FFF</code> (32k)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This is a smaller pile of space, but it has a 32-bit bus and no wait.</p>
|
|
<p>By default, <code>0x3007F00</code> to <code>0x3007FFF</code> is reserved for interrupt and BIOS use.
|
|
The rest of it is mostly up to you. The user's stack space starts at <code>0x3007F00</code>
|
|
and proceeds <em>down</em> from there. For best results you should probably start at
|
|
<code>0x3000000</code> and then go upwards. Under normal use it's unlikely that the two
|
|
memory regions will crash into each other.</p>
