Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of initializing a main RAM with respect to each of a working area inside a use area and a working area outside the use area.SOLUTION: The game machine has an initialization means for initializing a prescribed range of the read / write memory, and the read / write memory is composed of a first storage means for storing data directly relating to the progress of a game and a second storage means for storing data not directly relating to the progress of the game. The initialization start position of the first storage means is expressed by a 2-byte address, the final position to be initialized is set one by one for the first storage means and the second storage means as a fixed address, and the initialization means stores the value of the 2-byte address relating to the initialization start position in the storage determination area, and can determine the address of the initialization start position of the second storage means according to the value of the lower address of the address.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 185

Claims

[Claim 1] The system includes a microprocessor that incorporates an arithmetic circuit, read memory, and read / write memory, and provides game control means for controlling the progress of the game. The aforementioned game control means is Initialization means for initializing a predetermined range of the read / write memory, It has a main processing means that performs the main processing that occurs as the game progresses, The read / write memory comprises a first storage means for storing data directly related to the progress of the game, and a second storage means for storing data not directly related to the progress of the game. The first storage means has a working area within the usage area, The second storage means has a work area outside the usage area, The initialization start position of the first storage means can be set as the starting position of the predetermined range. The initialization start position of the first storage means is represented by a 2-byte address, The final position to be initialized is set as a fixed address, one for each of the first and second storage means. The initialization means is The two-byte address value relating to the initialization start position set as the starting position of the predetermined range is stored in the storage determination area. The address of the initialization start position of the second storage means can be determined according to the value of the lower address of the address stored in the storage determination area. With respect to the first storage means, initialization can be performed from the set initialization start position of the first storage means. With respect to the second storage means, initialization can be performed from the determined initialization start position of the second storage means. An uncleared area that is never initialized is set at the beginning of the work area within the aforementioned work area and at the beginning of the work area outside the aforementioned work area under any circumstances. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
