[PULL 08/16] vga: sort-of implement word and double-word access modes


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [PULL 08/16] vga: sort-of implement word and double-word access modes
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2024 13:24:08 +0100

Jazz Jackrabbit has a very unusual VGA setup, where it uses odd/even mode
with 256-color graphics.  Probably, it wants to use fast VRAM-to-VRAM
copies without having to store 4 copies of the sprites as needed in mode
X, one for each mod-4 alignment; odd/even mode simplifies the code a
lot if it's okay to place on a 160-pixels horizontal grid.

At the same time, because it wants to use double buffering (a la "mode X")
it uses byte mode, not word mode as is the case in text modes.  In order
to implement the combination of odd/even mode (plane number comes from
bit 0 of the address) and byte mode (use all bytes of VRAM, whereas word
mode only uses bytes 0, 2, 4,... on each of the four planes), we need
to separate the effect on the plane number from the effect on the address.

Implementing the modes properly is a mess in QEMU, because it would
change the layout of VRAM and break migration.  As an approximation,
shift right when the CPU accesses memory instead of shifting left when
the CRT controller reads it.  A hack is needed in order to write font data
properly (see comment in the code), but it works well enough for the game.

Because doubleword and chain4 modes are now independent, chain4 does not
assert anymore that the address is in range.  Instead it just returns
all ones and discards writes, like other modes.
