Several HDMA behaviours are described in endrift/gambatte@35d2db5, but not in Pan Docs. They should be added.
HDMA appears inactive during halt/speed change (presumably stop).
HDMA appears to trigger on unhalt if halt occurs during STAT mode!=0
and unhalt occurs during STAT mode=0, if enabled, and similarly for
speed change (presumably stop).
If the mode=0 transition that would otherwise trigger an HDMA occurs
during the first M-cycle of halt, HDMA appears to occur at unhalt time,
and the next PC increment appears to be skipped (i.e. the next byte
after the halt opcode will be fetched twice). The (semi-)prefetched
instruction at halt time is executed after unhalt and HDMA.
If the mode=0 transition that would otherwise trigger an HDMA occurs
during the first M-cycle of speed change (stop), HDMA appears to occur
during the stopped state if in single speed mode prior to speed change,
or upon wake-up from stop if in double speed mode prior to speed change
(similarly as for the halt case). In both cases the prefetched (at stop
time) second byte of the stop instruction appears to be used as the
first byte of the next instruction after speed change. If, as a result
of the above, HDMA occurs during the stopped state, HDMA appears to get
disabled after the first 16 bytes have been transferred, and, rather
than decrement the length count, the most significant bit (80h) is
seemingly simply set in the HDMA5 register.
Additional HDMA triggers (mode=0 transitions) appear to be ignored
during HDMA execution excepting the last 4 cycles of HDMA (i.e. no
additional HDMA will occur until the next mode=0 transition after HDMA
is done less the last 4 cycles).
In the event that HDMA is triggered unconditionally on unhalt or upon
wake-up from speed change (presumably stop), as a result of halt/stop
occurring at the mode=0 transition, the execution of the next (semi-
prefetched) instruction appears to occur 4 cycles earlier than for other
DMA events. The execution of this instruction appears to occur prior to
pending interrupts or eventual additional HDMAs.
Additionally, the commit has test ROMs that we can rely on. (Note that endrift's fork is being used, as @sinamas has removed all history from his own repo. We might want to use gb-archive for this, though not auto-sync it, obviously.)
