● Sprite control register

The sprite control register controls the sprite data. A write-only 16-bit register located at address 1800E0. After turning on the power or resetting, the value will be cleared to 0, so be sure to set it.

Sprite color operation condition bit: Sprite color calculation condition bit
(SPCCCSI, SPCCSO), bits 13,12
Specifies the color calculation conditions for sprites.

SPCCCS1 SPCCCS0 Matters
0 0 Only when (priority number) ≤ (color calculation condition number)
0 1 Only when (priority number) = (color calculation condition number)
1 0 Only when (priority number) ≥ (color calculation condition number)
1 1 Only when the most significant bit of color data is 1.

When the color format of the sprite is RGB format, the color calculation is always performed if the condition is that the color calculation is performed only when the most significant bit of the color data is 1.

Sprite color operation conditions Number bit: Sprite color calculation condition number bit
(SPCCN2 to SPCCN0), bits 10 to 8
Specifies the color calculation condition number of the sprite. If the color calculation condition is that the color calculation is performed only when the most significant bit of the color data is 1, this value is ignored.

Sprite color mode bit: Sprite color mode bit (SPCLMD) , bit 5
Specifies the sprite color mode.

SPCLMD Sprite color data format
0 All sprite data is in palette format only
1 Sprite data is a mixture of palette format and RGB format

Do not specify 1 if the sprite data is 8 bits per dot.

Sprite Window Enable bit: Sprite window enable bit (SPWINEN) , bit 4
See 8.1 Window Area.

Sprite type bits : SPrite type bits (SPTYPE3 to SPTYPE0), bits 3 to 0
Specifies the sprite type.

If the sprite data is 16 bits per dot, specify types 0 to 7, and if it is 8 bits, specify types 8 to F.

● Priority number register

The priority number register specifies the priority number. This is a write-only 16-bit register located at addresses 1800F0H to 1800F6H. After turning on the power or resetting, the value will be cleared to 0, so be sure to set it.

The higher the priority number, the higher the display priority. Also, sprite characters using registers with the priority number value set to 0 are considered transparent and will not be displayed.

● Color calculation ratio register

The color calculation ratio register specifies the color calculation ratio. This is a write-only 16-bit register located at addresses 180100H to 180106H. After turning on the power or resetting, the value will be cleared to 0, so be sure to set it.
