Machine Cycle
From SnesLab
(Redirected from machine cycle)
A Machine Cycle is one tick of the 5A22. It may be configured to take 6, 8, or 12 master clock cycles. In the SNES scene, we call the 6:1 configuration fastROM and the 8:1 configuration slowROM.
Multiplication takes about 8 machine cycles and division takes about 16.[3]
