Extra Data
The NES 2.0 format doesn't have any provisions for additional data beyond what the original iNES format mentions (where the PC10 PROM is often missing and the 128-byte/127-byte "title" is completely optional), so how would emulators know to load the "extra data for mapper 768" without having to hardcode mapper-specific behavior into their file loading logic? Perhaps it might be worth updating the NES 2.0 standard (maybe NES 2.1?) to include a means of specifying additional mapper-specific data (since many emulators close the .NES file before ever initializing the mapper)... --Quietust (talk) 19:58, 19 March 2013 (MDT)
