Create RAM blocks (memory map)

[greg-kennedy]

Is it possible to have the init script also set up the memory banks for Z80 RAM, 68K RAM, hardware mem-mapped ports etc? Based on the memory map here: https://www.chibiakumas.com/68000/genesis.php

This does break the checksum routine (see issue #1) but would be helpful for some of the other labels, which don't always function right until the appropriate block is added.

EDIT: the labels also seem to be wrong:

• Z80 address space (according to this map) is 0x00a00000 - 0x00a0ffff, but the Z80_ADDRESS_SPACE label begins at 0x00a10000 instead (this is where the I/O block should begin... at 0x00a10000)

Yes, the loader script should be improved to create those segments. The only reason I haven't updated the loader to add RAM segments is because Ghidra's 68000 module doesn't support 24-bit addressing. So even if you create RAM segments, cross references to data types in those segments aren't resolved correctly for many instructions. I explain the issue in some more detail here: https://zznop.github.io/romhacking/2019/07/14/hooking-golden-axe-vblanks.html

There are Ghidra issues here https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/issues/766 and here https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/issues/230 that I'm hoping are resolved soon. Although, there's no reason that we can't still add the segment creation to the loader script in the meantime.
