Now i study FCEUX source code, but i do not understand some function and some variable, help me, thanks. the flow function do what? and i don't understand variable "sphitx". 
static void RefreshLine(int lastpixel)
{
	static uint32 pshift[2];
	static uint32 atlatch;
	uint32 smorkus=RefreshAddr;

#define RefreshAddr smorkus
	uint32 vofs;
	int X1;

	register uint8 *P=Pline;
	int lasttile=lastpixel>>3;
	int numtiles;

	static int norecurse=0; /* Yeah, recursion would be bad.
							PPU_hook() functions can call
							mirroring/chr bank switching functions,
							which call FCEUPPU_LineUpdate, which call this
							function. */
	if(norecurse) return;

	if(sphitx != 0x100 && !(PPU_status&0x40))
	{
		if((sphitx < (lastpixel-16)) && !(sphitx <lasttile>34) lasttile=34;
	numtiles=lasttile-firsttile;

	if(numtiles<=0) return;

	P=Pline;

	vofs=0;

	vofs=((PPU[0]&0x10)<<8>>12)&7);

	if(!ScreenON && !SpriteON)
	{
		uint32 tem;
		tem=Pal[0]|(Pal[0]<<8)|(Pal[0]<<16)|(Pal[0]<<24>=TOFIXNUM && tofix)
		{
			Fixit1();
			tofix=0;
		}

		if((lastpixel-16)>=0)
		{
			InputScanlineHook(Plinef,spork?sprlinebuf:0,linestartts,lasttile*8-16);
		}
		return;
	}

	Pal[0]|=64;
	Pal[4]|=64;
	Pal[8]|=64;
	Pal[0xC]|=64;

You should wrap your code in the [cоde][/cоde] tags; otherwise indents get removed and end results becomes very difficult to parse. So I went and read the actual ppu.cpp instead. sphitx is an x coordinate that is used for checking whether this scanline was the one on which sprite 0 gets rendered (sprite 0 hit). The PPU can be queried for this condition. The variable records the value 0x100 if the hit no longer needs to be checked, or otherwise, the x coordinate that was last checked. It's something like this. I'm not the author of that code, so I am only deducing from reading it. I do not find a "flow" in your pasted code, so I cannot answer that question. However, if you want to understand how that function works, it might help for you to study first how the NES PPU works. Suggest this article: http://www.nesdev.com/2C02%20technical%20reference.TXT

thanks, Bisqwit. I want to do NES on hardware, use verilog and FPGA. so i need to known the details, now i am going to http://www.nesdev.com/2C02%20technical%20reference.TXT ^_^ "I do not find a "flow" in your pasted code, so I cannot answer that question." sorry, it is "follow" ---
