Description

本発明の遊技機は、演出画像の表示を行う表示手段を含む複数の演出手段と、受信したコマンドに応じて演出手段の動作を制御する制御手段と、を備え、前記制御手段は、複数のフレームバッファ領域について、前記表示手段で表示される画像の表示データの読み出しを行う第１領域と、次のフレームの表示データの描画を行う第２領域としての割り当てを順次切り替えるとともに、前記表示手段で表示される画像の１フレーム期間の終了の際に、前記第２領域とされているフレームバッファ領域での次のフレームの画像の表示データの描画完了の確認と、描画完了確認後における前記第１領域と前記第２領域の切替と、前記切替後における、描画完了を確認したフレームの更に次のフレームについての、画像素材データ記憶手段に記憶された画像データを所定の記憶領域に記憶させるプリロード処理の完了の確認と、プリロード処理の完了後における前記第２領域に切り替えられたフレームバッファ領域を用いた描画の開始と、描画を開始したフレームの更に次のフレームについてのプリロード処理の開始と、を行い、前記プリロード処理は、画像内容を設定する設定情報において記憶位置がＲＯＭ領域内として示された画像データ素材を、所定の記憶領域に転送する処理であり、前記プリロード処理に応じて、画像データ素材の記憶位置が転送後の記憶位置となるように前記設定情報の書換を行う。
なお遊技機は、演出画像の表示を行う表示手段及び発光動作を行う発光手段を含む複数の演出手段と、受信したコマンドに応じて演出手段の動作を制御する制御手段とを備え、前記制御手段は、前記発光手段の発光制御のための処理の全部又は一部、及び受信したコマンドの解析処理を、前記表示手段で表示される画像の１フレーム期間内における、フレーム開始タイミングから所定時間経過を検知するまでのフレーム前端側期間であれば開始し、前記所定時間経過を検知した後の期間であるフレーム終端側期間には開始しないようにしてもよい。
フレーム終端側期間は、フレーム期間内でフレーム開始時点から所定時間経過した後、そのフレームが終了するタイミングまでとして検知される期間である。例えば１フレーム期間を前半と後半に分けた場合の後半期間である。このフレーム終端側期間においては発光制御のための処理の全部又は一部をスキップする。さらにコマンドの解析処理を開始しない。
また上記した遊技機においては、前記制御手段は、前記表示手段で表示される画像のフレーム同期信号に基づいてカウントを行うカウンタにより、前記フレーム終端側期間の開始タイミングを検知するようにしてもよい。
例えば垂直ブランキング信号等の画像のフレームに同期した信号に基づいてカウントを行うカウンタにより、フレーム終端側期間の開始タイミングを認識する。これにより、タイミング管理を容易化できる。
Gaming machine of the present invention, a plurality of directing means and a control means for controlling the operation of the presentation device in accordance with the received command, wherein the control means including a display hand stage for displaying an effect image, a plurality For the frame buffer area, the assignment as the first area for reading the display data of the image displayed on the display means and the second area for drawing the display data of the next frame is sequentially switched, and the display means At the end of one frame period of the image displayed in (1), confirmation of the drawing completion of the display data of the image of the next frame in the frame buffer area which is the second area, and the confirmation of the completion of drawing It is stored in the image material data storage means for switching between the first area and the second area, and after the switching, the next frame of the frame whose drawing completion is confirmed. Confirmation of completion of preload processing for storing image data in a predetermined storage area, start of drawing using the frame buffer area switched to the second area after completion of preload processing, and further of a frame for which drawing has started The preload process for the next frame is started, and the preload process is a process for transferring the image data material whose storage position is indicated as the ROM area in the setting information for setting the image content to a predetermined storage area In response to the preloading process, the setting information is rewritten so that the storage position of the image data material becomes the storage position after transfer.
Note gaming machine, a plurality of presentation means including a light emitting means for performing a display unit and a light emitting operation for displaying the effect image, e Bei and control means for controlling the operation of the presentation device in accordance with the received command, prior Symbol The control means performs all or part of the light emission control processing for the light emission means and analysis processing of the received command for a predetermined time from the frame start timing within one frame period of the image displayed on the display means. It may be started in the frame front end side period until the passage is detected, and may not start in the frame end side period that is a period after the passage of the predetermined time .
The frame end side period is a period detected as a timing until the end of the frame after a predetermined time elapses from the frame start time within the frame period. For example, it is the latter half period when one frame period is divided into the first half and the second half. In this frame end side period, all or part of the processing for light emission control is skipped. In addition, command analysis processing is not started.
In addition the gaming machine described above, the control means, by a counter that counts based on the frame synchronization signal of an image displayed by said displaying means, may be configured to detect a start timing of the frame terminating period .
For example, the start timing of the frame end side period is recognized by a counter that counts based on a signal synchronized with an image frame such as a vertical blanking signal. Thereby, timing management can be facilitated.
