Because this poo poo owns  edit: An old technique in rom games to deal with memory shortages was to have a mechanism to swap blocks from a secondary rom bank. So you could have 4k ram fed by a 16k rom swapping in 1k banks on demand. Even as far as the Z80 64k peak, I remember my old Amstrad 6128 had a second processor that could swap in 16k banks of ram on demand (If you used CP/M it appeared to the OS contiguous using ~mAgIc~ , which puzzled the gently caress out of me since the Z80 had no addressing modes that could do that, but I think CP/M threw an abstraction layer over things to make it work somehow. duck monster fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Aug 13, 2014 |
