Registers

The n106 has 19 registers within $4800-$FFFF, except $6000-$7FFF which is WRAM. Each register occupies a range of $800 bytes, so $4800-$4FFF all refers to one register, $5000-$57FF all refers to another register, and so on.

IRQ Operation

The IRQ is a 15-bit CPU cycle up-counter. $5000 and $5800 provide direct access to the counter itself (i.e., this isn't a reload value). Games can read and write to these registers in realtime.

The IRQ counter increments on each CPU cycle. Upon reaching $7FFF, an IRQ is fired. However, it is unknown if the counter wraps to $0000 afterwards. Reading/Writing to $5000 or $5800 will acknowledge any pending IRQs.
