E. PLAYERS AND MISSILES
DMACTL, GRACTL, PMBASE and PRIOR also affect players and missiles.
COLPMO - COLPM3 (Player-Missile Color) (D012, D013, D014, D01S): These
addresses write to the Player-Missile Color-Lum Registers. Missiles have
the same color-Ium as their player unless missiles are used as a Sth player
(see bit 4 of PRIOR). A Sth player missile gets its color from COLPF3.

GRAFPO - GRAFP3 (Player Graphics Registers): (PO DOOD, PI DOOE, P2 DOOF,

Registers, independent of DMA. If DMA is enabled then the graphics registers
will be loaded automatically from the memory area specified by PMBASE(see
