| The [[Programming UOROM|UOROM]] mapper has 256kb PRG-ROM (divided into 16 16k banks) and CHR-RAM. It is very easy to use.

| |
| | |
| Here is an iNES header for the [[Programming UOROM|UOROM]] mapper.
| |
| | |
| .segment "HEADER"
| |
| .byte "NES", $1A
| |
| .byte $10 ;UOROM has 16 16k banks
| |
| .byte $00 ;UOROM uses CHR RAM, so no CHR ROM
| |
| .byte $20, $00 ;UOROM is Mapper 2
| |
| .byte $00 ;UOROM has no PRG RAM
| |
| | |
| == Bankswitching ==
| |
| | |
| [[Programming UOROM|UOROM]] has 16 16k banks. One of these banks is fixed at $C000-$FFFF. The other fifteen (numbered 0-15, or $00-$0E) are switchable at $8000-$BFFF.
| |
| | |
| Switching banks requires a write to $8000-$FFFF. Bits 0-3 of the byte written to $8000-$FFFF will select the bank. When writing to $8000-$FFFF, the value you are writing must match the value located at the destination address in ROM (see [[Bus conflict]]). One way to ensure this is to have a bankswitch lookup table. You can read from this table and then immediately write that value back to the table.
| |
| | |
| .segment "BANKTABLE"
| |
| banktable:
| |
| .byte $00, $01, $02, $03, $04, $05, $06, $07 ;write to this table to switch banks.
| |
| .byte $08, $09, $0A, $0B, $0C, $0D, $0E
| |
| | |
| .segment "ZP": zeropage
| |
| current_bank: .res 1
| |
| | |
| .segment "CODE"
| |
| bankswitch:
| |
| lda banktable, y ;read a byte from the banktable
| |
| sta banktable, y ;and write it back, switching banks
| |
| sta current_bank ;store the current bank in RAM
| |
| rts
| |
| | |
| The lookup table and the bankswitching subroutine should be located in the fixed bank, so that they are always available. It is common to stick the lookup table at $FFEB-$FFF9, immediately before the nmi/reset/irq vectors (at $FFFA-FFFF).
| |
| | |
| With the lookup table and bankswitching subroutine in place, switching banks is as easy as this:
| |
| | |
| ldy #$02
| |
| jsr bankswitch ;switch to bank 2
