Suikan Pipe is supposedly a port of Gimmick! to the VRC4. q.v. http://www.emu-land.net/forum/index.php?topic=67514.0 (in russian). What's really going on here? —Lidnariq (talk) 05:15, 25 April 2015 (MDT)
This description should be removed as it is inaccurate and misleading. Correct description is just "VRC4e + additional latch (latches A3..A0) at $6000-$7fff controlling PRG bank at $6000-$7fff", as stated here: https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/Gimmick_VRC4_Hack
