Hrm, no responses so far...
Looking into PCAE source code, I see 'hot spots' for their Pitfall 2
bank switching scheme at x1FF8 and x1FF9, as well as x1040-x107F,
x1840-x187F, x1000-x103F, and x1800-x183F.
The rom image is 8k + 2k + 256
I assume x1FF8 and x1FF9 switch between the two 4k banks just like any
other 8k cart.
Documentation indicates the 256 bytes are sequentilly produced by each of
3 random number generators.
How does the 2k fit with the areas x1000-x107F and x1800-x187F ? Where
are the random number generators used? I get lost as I follow the PCAE
source down into x86 assembly land...
Any clues?
