In NTSC mode, the display is 320x224 pixels. In PAL mode, it is 320x256 pixels.

Upper 9 bits of register REG_LSPCMODE:

  • $00F8-$00FF : Vertical sync (8)
  • $0100-$010F : Top border (16)
  • $0110-$01EF : Active display (224)
  • $01F0-$01FF : Bottom border (16)

 Measured in reference to main 24 MHz clock (mclk):

 Horizontal timing

 Pulse widths:                                  
  111 mclks horizontal sync                    27.75 pixels 
  256 mclks horizontal blanking                   64 pixels
 1280 mclks active display                       320 pixels
 1536 mclks per scanline                         384 pixels

 State to state timing:
  118 mclks /HSYNC rising to /HBLANK rising     29.5 pixels (left border)
 1280 mclks /HBLANK rising to /HBLANK falling    320 pixels (display)
   27 mclks /HBLANK falling to /HSYNC falling   6.75 pixels (right border)
  111 mclks /HSYNC falling to /HSYNC rising    27.75 pixels (horizontal sync)

 384 pixels per scanline: (rounding up)

  28 pixels horizontal sync pulse width
  29 pixels /HSYNC low to /HBLANK high
 320 pixels /HBLANK high to /HBLANK low
   7 pixels /HBLANK low to /HSYNC low

 Vertical timing

 264 scanlines per frame:

   8 scanlines vertical sync pulse
  16 scanlines top border
 224 scanlines active display
  16 scanlines bottom border

 Frame timing

 Frame rate is 6 MHz / 384 / 264 = 59.18 Hz.
