$ff20-$ff3d is a RAM/ROM area just like $ff40-$ffff. What's here depends on the banking and the RAM/ROM switches.

The next cycle after the write it will be already decremented by one,
if I remember right, this applies in slow mode. Do not forget that it decrements every two double-clock cycle. I didn't checked it yet if it is aliased at all, and if yes whether it's aliased against odd or even cycles. Will do the test, and let you know the result.

Look back, in the archives, I think I gave a pseudo-code to calc it correctly.
