Address decode masks

Decode masks aren't verified !

Decode masks are used to know which register will be mapped to a given address, they can be seen as a sort of mirroring range notation.

A "1" bit means that the corresponding address bit is involved in decoding, a "0" means it's ignored.

For example, REG_P1CNT's base is $300000 and its mask is $FE0001:

BASE 00110000 00000000 00000000
MASK 11111110 00000000 00000001
     0011000x xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx0

This means that it's also accessible at $300002, $300004, $300006... up to $31FFFE. The highest address is BASE OR (NOT MASK).

System registers

Data written doesn't matter. Odd byte writes only. Decode mask: $FE0001.

Registers go in pairs, bit 4 of the address is actually the data bit.

Handled by a 74HC259 addressable latch on cart systems.
