Added ioctl_download for slave rom boot0.rom is expected to be the main cpu rom boot1.rom is expected to be the slave rom
3.0 KiB
Bootup
We need to get the ROM into the SDRAM
How does PSX and the Mega CD do it?
Inside psx.cpp there is load_bios(). It is called by psx_mount_cd().
But who calls it? From menu.cpp? But why is it called?
Inside megacd.cpp there is mcd_set_image(). Inside MegaCD.sv there is
wire rom_download = ioctl_download & (ioctl_index[5:0] <= 6'h01);
But where does this come from?
Ok, everything revolves around user_io_file_tx()
It even says something like this
// set index byte (0=bios rom, 1-n=OSD entry index)
How does the CD-i do it?
Experiment:

Let's see!
ioctl_index[15:0] starts with 0000h. First data in word mode is 0x856a. Afterwards it is 0x1125. This means we have a little endian word here. Boot0.rom is transmitted.
Afterwards... ioctl_index[15:0] is set to 0040h. First data in word mode is 0. Afterwards it is 0x0015. This means we have a little endian word here. Boot1.rom is transmitted.
Can is use ioctl_index[6] to mark the slave worm data?
