| The '''Namco 163''' with expansion sound (and its predecessor '''129''' which has some mistake in the audio hardware) are assigned to '''iNES Mapper 19''', while simpler variants are assigned to [[iNES Mapper 210]]: those using the Namco '''175''' ICs have hard-wired mirroring and those using the Namco '''340''' support mapper-switchable mirroring. All four were packaged in 48-pin TQFPs (see: [[Namcot 163 family pinout]]).
| |
| | |
| Many older programs incorrectly identify this mapper by the name '''Namco 106'''. Some sources use the name Namcot instead of Namco, as some games and PCBs use this variation on the company name.
| |
| | |
| In addition to the 8 KB of PRG RAM that may be available, the Namco 163 has an additional 128 bytes of internal memory intended for [[Namco 163 audio|expansion audio]]. Any of that memory that is not used to specify sound could be used as RAM by the game.
| |
| | |
| Example games: (Mapper 019)
| |
| * ''Digital Devil Story - Megami Tensei II''
| |
| * ''Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken''
| |
| * ''Famista '90''
| |
| * ''Final Lap''
| |
| * ''King of Kings (Namco)''
| |
| * ''Rolling Thunder (J)''
| |
| * ''Sangokushi I, II (Namco)''
| |
| * ''Star Wars (Namco)''
| |
| * ''Mappy Kids''
| |
| * ''Namco Classic I, II''
| |
| | |
| Example games: (Mapper 210)
| |
| * ''Dream Master''
| |
| * ''Famista '91 - '94''
| |
| * ''Splatter House''
| |
| * ''Wagyan Land 2, 3''
| |
| | |
| == Banks ==
| |
| * CPU $6000-$7FFF: 8 KB PRG RAM bank (Namco 129, 163, and 175)
| |
| * CPU $8000-$9FFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank
| |
| * CPU $A000-$BFFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank
| |
| * CPU $C000-$DFFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank
| |
| * CPU $E000-$FFFF: 8 KB PRG ROM bank, fixed to the last bank
| |
| * PPU $0000-$03FF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $0400-$07FF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $0800-$0BFF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $0C00-$0FFF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $1000-$13FF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $1400-$17FF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $1800-$1BFF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $1C00-$1FFF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank
| |
| * PPU $2000-$23FF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank (Namco 129/163 only)
| |
| * PPU $2400-$27FF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank (Namco 129/163 only)
| |
| * PPU $2800-$2BFF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank (Namco 129/163 only)
| |
| * PPU $2C00-$2FFF: 1 KB switchable CHR bank (Namco 129/163 only)
| |
| | |
| The Namco 129 and 163 have the unusual ability to select the internal 2 KB nametable RAM as a CHR bank page, allowing it to be used as CHR RAM in combination with the existing CHR ROM.
| |
| | |
| == Registers ==
| |
| | |
| The 163 has 19 registers within $4800-$5FFF and $8000-$FFFF, while the the 175 and 340 only have 12. Each register occupies a range of $800 bytes, so $4800-$4FFF all refers to one register, $5000-$57FF all refers to another register, and so on.

| It is believed, but untested, that a game could add a normal SRAM and use it in lieu of the nametable RAM; if so, a game would be able to get 4-screen mirroring and many more pages of CHR-RAM.

| |
| | |
| == IRQ Operation ==
| |
| The IRQ is a 15-bit CPU cycle up-counter. $5000 and $5800 provide ''direct'' access to the counter itself (i.e., this isn't a reload value). Games can read and write to these registers in realtime.
| |
| | |
| The IRQ counter increments on each CPU cycle. Upon reaching $7FFF, an IRQ is fired, and it stops counting. Writing to $5000 or $5800 will acknowledge any pending IRQs.
| |
| | |
| == Battery Backed RAM ==
| |
| The N163 supports 8k of PRG-RAM but also has 128 bytes of internal memory. Either or both may be battery backed. An [[NES_2.0#Byte 10 (RAM_size)|NES 2.0]] may be used to disambiguate this.
