(Rewrite, separate from iNES Mapper 19)
(add Naruko's blog's post on mirroring on the 340 from the mapper 019 page, and update the $E000 register mirroring bits to match those docs (which I corroborated by investigating wagyan 2 bugs; I checked dream master and famitsu '92 to ensure still workin)

iNES Mapper 210 is used to denote Famicom boards bearing either the Namco 175 (Submapper 1) or Namco 340 (Submapper 2) ASIC. Both can be thought of as cost-reduced versions of the Namco 163:

ROM nametables Yes No No
Optional WRAM Yes Yes No
Expansion audio Yes No No

Mirroring Selectable (extended) Hard-wired H/V Selectable H/V/0

Registers

The 175 and 340 have 12 registers within $8000-$FFFF. Each register occupies a range of $800 bytes, so $8000-$87FF all refers to one register, $8800-$8FFF all refers to another register, and so on.

Notes

  • Family Circuit '91 relies on its 2 KiB of WRAM being correctly mirrored throughout the $6000-$7FFF address range.
  • Many INES Mapper 210 games are incorrectly set to INES Mapper 019.
  • In the absence of a NES 2.0 header with submapper 1 or 2 to distinguish between Namco 175 and 340, the following heuristics have been suggested:
    • If $E000.6 or $E000.7 are ever set, this should be a Namcot 340.
    • If the game ever reads from or writes to PRG RAM, this is a Namco 175 with external RAM.
    • If the game ever writes to $C000, this is probably a Namco 175.
