Part 3: Tweaking the VDP implementation
2018-04-20

In the second part of this series, I increased the throughput of the Megadrive core’s SDRAM controller, which gave nearly but not quite enough extra bandwidth to solve the sprite display problems.  To improve things yet further I need to look at the VDP implementation itself…
