GBA- DMA question...
Author
Anyone know a way to copy a part of an array with DMA? I''m using the function from the PERN Project, but in case you''re not familiar with it, here it is.
Anyway, my question is this. I have a large array containing the image data for a number of different frames of animation. The first 512 items are the first frame, etc. Can I use DMA to copy just the data in, for example, the third frame? Meaning, can I tell it to start at array[1024] and progress from there? If so, how? Any advice would be, in a word, keen.

Oh well. I think I solved the problem anyway. For anyone interested, just manually adjust the position of the pointer. Something like:
DMA_Copy(3,(void*)array+0x400,(void*)OAMData,amount,rate);
Of course, the specifics change on how much you''re skipping, but it does seem to work.

Not really a DMA issue but for faster code you''d be better of using a macro rather than a function especially if your transfering small amounts of data as often the overhead of the function call may be more than that of the transfer. :D
