Beginners > iwram question again...

#20214 - isildur - Tue May 04, 2004 9:39 pm

Hi, I finally got myself a flash cart. I had never tested my stuff on real hardware before. My question is: Is there something I have to do in order to put my iwram code in iwram on the real gba? Or is it the same as when I was doing it for the emulator. Cause on the emulator, I know it was in iwram (I saw the code running in the 0x03000000 segment).

But judging from the performance I get on real hardware, I believe that it's not in iwram. I had that same down performance on the emu too when I didn't use iwram.

Did I miss something?

If the code was running in IWRAM on the emulator it'll be running in IWRAM on the hardware.

But speed on the emulator - and especially speed differences when you play around with different memory segments on the emulator - will not directly correspond to speed (and speed differences) on the hardware.

Dan.

Ok, thanks for your answer.
