;---------- 

My testing leads me to believe that the direct ROM read section starts out 
as inactive. 

One of the ways to activate direct reads is to write a non-zero value to $4813. 
No other action need be taken. You can write a non-zero value and immediately 
write a zero to it and that's OK.  The order of writes to $4811/2/3 don't 
seem to matter so long as $4813 has been written to once with a non-zero 
value.  There may be a way to deactivate the direct reads again (maybe a 
decompression cycle?) but I haven't tested that. 

There appears to be another way to activate direct reads that is more complex 
but I haven't quite pinned that down yet.

Decompression Command Modes: 
00 - manual decompression, $4800 is used to read directly from the data rom 
     ( really - disable offset modes x2/x4 (x8?) ) 

02 - hardware decompression, decompressed data is mapped to $50:0000, $4800 can be used to read sequentially from bank $50 
     ( enable offset modes based on first byte in table index?  offset_mode/addr-h/addr-m/addr-l 
       offset mode: offset start by $4805/6 times value 
       00 = x1 offset 
       01 = x2 offset ? 
       02 = x4 offset ? 
       03 = ??? ) 

Note: decompression mode is activated after writing to $4806 and finishes after reading the high bit of $480C 


Note: The $4814-$4815 pair can optionally be used as an offset to the base address in $4811/$4812/$4813 
      The $4816-$4817 pair can optionally be used as an increment value

SPC7110F0a Chip information 
-------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------
====================================================================================



This file contains information about the SPC7110F0a chip, which can be found in the following game paks :



*Far East Of Eden Zero (FEoEZ)

*Super Power League 4 (SPL4)

*Momotarou Densetsu Happy (MDH)



There are two types of game pak board layouts that use the SPC7110F0a : 



SHVC-LDH3C-01 FEoEZ game pak board, type 1

SHVC-BDH3B-01 SPL4 and MDH game pak boards, type 2



The difference between the two is represented mainly by the Real Time Clock (RTC) used only in type 1. For the rest, 

both of them show two separate MASK ROMS (MROM), U1 and U2, U1 containing program data ("8M MROM" on FEoEZ, "P MROM"

on the other boards) while U2 contains compressed data ("16/32M MROM" on type 1, "D MROM" on type 2). 

U2 on type 2 is 40 pins in size, while on type 1 it has 44, which obviously points out at different memory sizes.



On both types, The SPC7110F0a uses two (data and address) interfaces, one to the SNES core and one to U2:



*the SNES interface has an 8 bit data bus  (which is labeled FB1-8 on type 1) and a 24 bit Address bus for both types.

*the U2 interface of type 1 uses a 8 bit data bus (SPC Pins 31-34 and 36-39) and a 22 bit Address bus.

*the U2 interface of type 2 uses a 8 bit data bus.



The SPC7110 provides both /WR and /RD commands. Actually, no /OE or /CS input has been located.



The SPC7110 includes the adress decoding logic for both memory chips and its own.

To sustain this theory the facts that U1 /OE (pin 2) is connected to ground, and the /CE (pin 13) come directly from

the SPC (pin 47), and the /CE (pin 34) of U2 is connected to ground, while the /OE (pin 36) comes from the pin 48 of the SPC.



The addres and data bus of U2 on both board layouts are all directly connected to the SPC7110 only. 

This makes external addressing impossible; the only way to get to the content of the U2 chip is through the 

manual decompression mode. (refer to Darkforce's doc, Spc7110r.txt).





The U2 on type 1 is 32 Mbit in size. The SPC7110 uses only the lower 8 bits of the U2 on type 1, and D15 as the 

byte swapping switch (high / low byte).



The U2 on type 2 is 32 Mbit in size. The adress lines are shifted by one left (aka SPCA0 on MROMA1) and D15 is used on A0

as the byte swapping (high / low as in type 1 board) switch.

I only include it for completition, you can easily get any Datasheet about it on the net. It is used for battery recharging : 

power source switching for the S-RAM management. Switch to Battery power once the main power turns off.

SELF CHECK INFORMATION

==================================================================================================================

*The text of the test screens is located at ROM location $CFF022. There is no table. This bitch is coded 

in a (to me at least) orginal fashion.  The routine that loads the byte sequence starts at $CFE358.



*At $CFF150 the ROM presents the test values used for testing the SRAM (in the format SRAM_OFFSET/VALUE, 2 bytes 

each).



The SPC Check presents two modes - MODE 1 and MODE 2.



MODE 1

----------------------



MODE 1 is accessed by pressing the A button at the first boot up.



By activating the SRAM (#$80 to $4830)the SNES compares the last 16 bytes of it with the text located at ROM addr.

$C02F25 (SNES addr format) - the infamous "SPC7110 CHECK OK".  If more than 3 bytes are not matching,it starts the

self tests. 



REG INIT

Firstly it checks the SPC's registers via a simple read/compare action. The registers to test are defined in a 

table located at $CFF1B9 (Snes addr. format). The compared values are stored at offset $CFF211 (1 Byte, 4 values). 

Specifically, those values are used to check the SPC ROM Bank mapping regs ($4831-33) & SRAM ($4830).

Apparently, on boot the SRAM should result not active ($4830=$00), and the three mappings #$00, #$01, #$02 

(from A to C the same order). 



S-RAM DATA BUS

The SRAM is initialized one byte at a time to $FF (via the $00:6000 bus).



The tests firstly check the first 8 bytes of the DROM (sequence :0102040810204080) 

and then the 8 last ones (sequence :FEFDFBF7EFDFBF7F, which is the first sequence ex-ored).





MODE 2

----------------------



MODE 2 is accessed by pressing the B button at the first boot up, or at the second if test in MODE 1 has been

succesfully performed. It checks for a SRAM and RTC backup. 



The following is checked: 

*TODO'



*Does it skip the tests if a joy pad key is pressed?

CREDITS



*First Credit goes to Darkforce, mentor of DeJap, great ASM & ROM Hacker. He dumped the 

whole Graphics packs, with the great help of The Dumper - if it wasnt for those two you

still would not be playing FEoEZ & Co!
