iNES Mapper 036 is assigned to TXC's PCB 01-22000-400, featuring a 74138, a 74175, and usually a 24-pin ASIC labeled 05-00002-010. Three games are currently known to use it, mostly published by Gluk Video:
- Strike Wolf
- Policeman
- F-15 City War (no ASIC)
Even though these games can evidently be emulated as a weird kind of GNROM, the hardware does something quite different:
The CHR banking is definitely implemented using the two 7400-series ICs:
Mask: $E200 write $4200: [.... CCCC] - Select 8 KiB CHR bank
The PRG banking is part of the ASIC:
Mask: $E103 write $4102 or $8000-$FFFF: [..PP ....] - Request 32 KiB PRG bank write $4100 then $8000-$FFFF: activate PRG bank switch read $4100: [..PP ....] - Return current 32 KiB PRG bank read or write others: ?
This PRG reverse-engineering is confusing and incomplete.
