GabeMoralesVR, @xot that's how some DMA works. DMA does not always work like this on every system. Famously, the Sega Genesis featured something called Blast Processing, which is the ability for the 68000 and VDP to access the same bus at the exact same time during DMA, so you can write directly to the scanline during active scan to drive it at 8bpp, despite the Genesis only formally accepting 6bpp color.
