## Custom Register Address Space
|
||
|
||
All chipset generations share the base address **$00DFF000** for custom registers. Registers are memory-mapped, mostly 16-bit wide.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$DFF000 BLTDDAT Blitter destination early read
|
||
$DFF002 DMACONR DMA control (read)
|
||
$DFF004 VPOSR Vertical position (read, high)
|
||
...
|
||
$DFF180 COLOR00 Colour register 0
|
||
...
|
||
$DFF1FE (last OCS/ECS register)
|
||
$DFF1FC BEAMCON0 (ECS+) beam control
|
||
$DFF1FC+ (AGA extensions)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
See [custom_registers_full.md](../references/custom_registers_full.md) for the complete table across all chipsets.
