!PMG examples. Because some people do have problems every time they try to set PMG, here is simple example showing "A" letter using PMG with mentioning which setting is obligatory and which not. In addition, in normal "legal" use (system interrupts on), shadow-registers must be used otherwise efect of writing to registers lasts for at most 1 frame. It is worth noting, that PMG is drawn by ANTIC (GTIA is fed with bytes read by ANTIC dma), thus some registers belong to ANTIC, some to GTIA. {{{ org $4000 ; to avoid blink, here should be a loop waiting for interrupt lda #%111110 ; obligatory, double line, no missle DMA; sta $22f ; DMACTL - 62 - single line, normal playfield lda #$80 ; obligatory sta $D407 ; PMBASE lda #$7c ; obligatory sta $D000 ; HPOSP lda #1 ; default is good for this example, may be skipped sta $26f ; first PM then PF lda #%11 ; obligatory sta $D01D ; GRACTL -set both players and missles lda #2 ; default is good for this example, may be skipped sta $D008 ; SIZEP lda #$2f ; this is the color of the sta $2c0 ; PCOLR0, surely may be skipped. ldx #7 ; let's display 'A' letter show lda $e108,x ; get 'A' letter rows from char generator sta $8440,x ; store it in PLAYER0 memory chunk. dex bpl show ; do it eight times end bne end ; wait for eternity. }}}
