*** S20 (Phau Zeh VIC-20 emulator saved-session files) *** Document revision: 1.2 *** Last updated: March 11, 2004 *** Compiler/Editor: Peter Schepers *** Contributors/sources: unknown This file is created when you save a session in the Phau Zeh VIC-20 emulator (written by Arne Bockholdt). Like all emulator saved-session, it contains all zero-page RAM, CPU registers, RAM and I/O registers. In order for the Phau Zeh emulator to recognize its saved-sessions, it must be saved with the "S20" extension. This document is based on the 0.9.5 revision of the S20 layout, so the actual 1.0 release might be different. The minimum S20 file size is 9286 bytes (based on an un-enpanded VIC-20) and the largest is 36934 bytes (based on a fully-expanded VIC-20). Bytes: $0000-000E - S20 signature string "VIC-20 SNAPSHOT" 000F - S20 revision $01 - version 0.9.5 00, 02-FF - Reserved 0010 - Machine $00 - Original VIC-20 01 - Phau Zeh 02 - V20 03 - Mac VIC-20 emulator 04-FF - Future Expansion (set to $00) 0011 - Miscellaneous Info. If Byte $16 is set to 1 (Phau Zeh emu), it is sub-version of the emulator. With $16 set to 1: $01 - PZL 02 - PZW 00, 03-FF - Future expansion (set to $00) 0012-0013 - Future Expansion (set to $00) 0014-0015 - Memory areas saved (in HI-LO format). The bit will be set if the memory area is saved, clear if not. Each bit of this word represents a 4Kb area of memory. The ROM memory locations should always be clear (not saved), and positions 1 and 9 must always be set and saved. Bit: 00 - RAM $0400-0FFF (only 3Kb for this one) 01 - RAM $1000-1FFF 02 - RAM $2000-2FFF ... 15 - RAM $F000-FFFF 0016-0017 - VIC-20 ROM memory (in HI-LO format). The bit will be set if the ROM area is saved, clear if not. Each bit represents 4Kb of ROM. VIC-20 ROM memory locations should be set to 1, and setting bits 0 and 1 on would make no sense as ROM can't exist in those areas. Bit: 00 - ROM $0000-0FFF 01 - ROM $1000-1FFF 02 - ROM $2000-2FFF ... 15 - ROM $F000-FFFF 0018 - RAM expansion installed $00 - No expansion 03 - 3Kb installed 08 - 8Kb installed 10 - 16Kb installed 18 - 24Kb installed All other values invalid (future expansion) 0019 - Future expansion (set to $00) 001A-001B - 6502 Instruction Pointer (HI-LO format) 001C - 6502 Flag register Bit 0 - Carry Flag 1 - Zero Flag 2 - Interrupt Flag 3 - Decimal Flag 4 - Break Flag 5 - Always set to 1 6 - Overflow Flag 7 - Sign Flag 001D - 6502 Stack Pointer 001E - 6502 A Register 001F - 6502 X Register 0020 - 6502 Y Register 0021 - NMI status Bit 0 - Set if NMI info valid, clear otherwise 7 - Clear if NMI low, set if NMI high All other bits unused. 0022-0023 - VIA1 Timer 1 Value (HI-LO format) 0024-0025 - VIA1 Timer 1 Latch (HI-LO format) 0026-0027 - VIA1 Timer 2 Value (HI-LO format) 0028 - VIA1 Timer 2 Latch 0029-002A - VIA2 Timer 1 Value (HI-LO format) 002B-002C - VIA2 Timer 1 Latch (HI-LO format) 002D-002E - VIA2 Timer 2 Value (HI-LO format) 002F - VIA2 Timer 2 Latch 0030 - Set Interrupt Flag Status bits. 0 = don't set flag, 1 = set flag. Bit 0 - VIA1 Timer 1 1 - VIA1 Timer 2 2 - VIA2 Timer 1 3 - VIA2 Timer 2 All other bits clear (future expansion) 0031 - Future Expansion (set to $00) 0032 - VIA Port Register Status. Tells emulator which registers are saved in the file. $00 - Nothing saved (not recommended) 01 - IR ports saved to the following 4 bytes 02 - OR ports saved to the following 4 bytes 03-FF - Future expansion 0033 - VIA1 IRA or ORA (depends on the value in $0032) 0034 - VIA1 IRB or ORB (depends on the value in $0032) 0035 - VIA2 IRA or ORA (depends on the value in $0032) 0036 - VIA2 IRB or ORB (depends on the value in $0032) 0037-003A - Future expansion (set to $00) 003B - Video Mode $00 - PAL (6561) 01 - NTSC (6560) 02-FF - Reserved 003C-003D - Current scanline PAL: 0-311 NTSC: 0-260 003E - Cycles since last scanline change. This is the number of cycles passed since the lasy scanline was drawn, or the scanline counter was incremented. PAL: 0-70 NTSC: 0-64 003F-0042 - Future expansion (set to $00) 0043-0442 - Zero Page RAM $0000-03FF (must be in file) 0443-1042 - RAM locations $0400-0FFF contents (optional, only when $0014-0015 bit 0 is set) 1043-2042 (or)0443-1442 - RAM locations $1000-1FFF (must be in file) ... - (4Kb RAM blocks continue, depending on the bit pattern set in $0014-0015) (END-2)-END - Last three bytes set to $FF.
