Re: Another STE question
Posted by: RA/pdx May,11.2012-11:56 

Hi Bod,

These two code snippets do different things.

The 1st one is restarting the blitter again in HOG mode, so you donīt completely "waste" the 64 CPU cycles and go back to the blitter task as fast as possible. This method is only slightly slower than BLIT mode but permits interrupts.

The 2nd one is just waiting until the blitter has completely finished his task. So you "waste" the CPU cycles in HOG mode.
