serial: clarify equation used to produce cycle number #8

Closed deltabeard closed 6 years ago

deltabeard commented 6 years ago

The equation used is 4194304 / (8192 / 8) = 4096, where 8 is due to transmitting one byte at a time instead of one bit. It is therefore not a magic number as mentioned in https://github.com/deltabeard/peanut-gb/blob/11d0fdf6bde8d04cee690f523d0dd3d839ea73ab/gameboy.h#L82 .

The magic number 40 currently used will have to be looked into. I'm not convinced it is correct since it actually increases the transfer rate of the serial connection.
