PM Registers

Register Overview

The Pokemon Mini maps $2000 ~ $20FF as hardware control registers. This area is reserved for hardware related functions such as video, audio, general purpose timers, hardware I/O and system control.

Much of this address space is mapped as Open-Bus, leading us to beleive that this area is not used for any purpose. Other areas respond to requests but their purpose is yet undetermined.

Registers tend to be controlled on a bit level, so for the sanity purposes, they will be broken down to this level. At any point they are shown spanning multiple columns, that indicates that it is a multi-bit value and should be treated as if they were a number.

The bits themselves come in four flavors: Read-only, Write-Only, Read-Write, and S-R Strobe. Write-Only registers typically return a zero value, and are generally only used for things such as resetting timers. S-R Strobes are used for clearing interrupt events. Writting a logical '1' to any bit that is set will result in a bit being cleared, where as '0' leaves them unchanged.

Any register not included on this list reads as Open-Bus and will be excluded unless a function has otherwise been determined.
