| Tekken 2 Pirate Cart
| |
| a big fat pile of ass
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Example Games:
| |
| --------------------------
| |
| Tekken 2 (090)
| |
| Mortal Kombat 2 (090)
| |
| Super Contra 3 (090)
| |
| Super Mario World (090)

| Donkey Kong Country 4 (211)

| |
| Rants:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
| This mapper is such a big pain in the ass. Not only is it overly complicated in every possible way, but
| |
| every single game that uses it SUCKS. Plus the composers for these horrible pirate games must have been
| |
| tone-deaf, because the music is always out of key. I freaking hate this mapper with a passion (can you
| |
| tell?).
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 090 vs. 209 vs. 211
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
| 209 and 211 split from 090 somewhere along the line... but at some time, 090 was shared by both. Therefore you may
| |
| come across ROMs mislabelled as 090 that are actually 209.
| |
|
| |
| The two mappers are exactly the same. The only difference is a jumper setting which controls the extended
| |
| nametable control. 090 has extended NT control permanently disabled, 209 has it enabled. Why this is in a
| |
| jumper setting I don't know... since the game can already freaking enable/disable the mode through software!
| |
| Regardless... two mappers are needed because some games that don't use the NT control don't disable it
| |
| through software (they rely on the jumper setting disabling it).
| |
|
| |
| This doc, as a whole, applies to both 090 and 209 -- with the exception of the Mirroring section, which draws
| |
| the distinctions between the two.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Notes:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
| This mapper has no PRG-RAM. As suprising as that is.
| |
|
| |
| In addition to the above mentioned jumper setting that controls mirroring, there are 2 other dipswitch
| |
| settings which can be read back by the game via reg $5000. Changing the dipswitch can change the game being
| |
| played in some ROMs (really, it's more or less the same game, just with slight differences).
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| This document's organization:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
| Since there are so many registers for this mapper, registers will be listed and outlined as the features are
| |
| explained... and the overall registers section will be extremely brief -- serving primarily as a very quick
| |
| reference or checklist.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| PRG Setup:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
|
| |
| $8000-8003 are PRG regs. $8004-8007 are mirrors of them.
| |
| $8000-$8003: [.PPP PPPP]
| |
|
| |
| $D000 is the PRG mode select (among other things):
| |
| $D000: [SRNC CPPP]
| |
| R,N = Relate to Mirroring (see mirroring section for details)
| |
| C = Relate to CHR Setup (see chr setup for details)
| |
| S = Put PRG @ $6000-7FFF
| |
| P = PRG Mode Select
| |
|
| |
| If 'S' is clear, $6000-7FFF is always open bus. It is only when 'S' is set, that $6000 reflects the page
| |
| indicated in the setup chart below.
| |
|
| |
| Notice that page numbers are "actual" pages.
| |
|
| |
| Some modes are bit reversed (as marked below). This means that the PRG registers are to be interpretted
| |
| backwards:
| |
|
| |
| [.ABC DEFG] normal order
| |
| [.GFE DCBA] bit reversed order
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $6000 $8000 $A000 $C000 $E000
| |
| +-----------------+-------------------------------+
| |
| PRG Mode %000 | ($8003 * 4)+3 | { -1} |
| |
| +-----------------+-------------------------------+
| |
| PRG Mode %001 | ($8003 * 2)+1 | $8001 | { -1} |
| |
| +-----------------+---------------+---------------+
| |
| PRG Mode %010 | $8003 | $8000 | $8001 | $8002 | { -1} |
| |
| +-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| |
| PRG Mode %011 | $8003 | $8000 | $8001 | $8002 | { -1} | *BIT REVERSE*
| |
| +-----------------+-------------------------------+
| |
| PRG Mode %100 | ($8003 * 4)+3 | $8003 |
| |
| +-----------------+-------------------------------+
| |
| PRG Mode %101 | ($8003 * 2)+1 | $8001 | $8003 |
| |
| +-----------------+---------------+---------------+
| |
| PRG Mode %110 | $8003 | $8000 | $8001 | $8002 | $8003 |
| |
| +-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| |
| PRG Mode %111 | $8003 | $8000 | $8001 | $8002 | $8003 | *BIT REVERSE*
| |
| +-----------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| In case you don't see the patterns:
| |
| - PRG modes %1xx are the same as %0xx, only $8003 is used for the last page instead of {-1}
| |
| - $6000 is always swapped to the last 8k in the block specified by $8003. In %1xx modes, this means $6000
| |
| will always mirror $E000.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| CHR Setup:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
|
| |
| $9000-9007 are CHR regs -- each specifies the low 8 bits of the CHR page
| |
| $A000-A007 -- specifies the high 8 bits of the CHR page (work with above regs)
| |
|
| |
| The rest of this section refers to above regs as $900x only -- but note that it all includes $900x and $A00x.
| |
|
| |
| CHR Mode is set by the following:
| |
|
| |
| $D000: [SRNC CPPP]
| |
| R,N = Relate to Mirroring (see mirroring section for details)
| |
| S,P = Relate to PRG (see prg setup for details)
| |
| C = CHR Mode
| |
|
| |
| $ : [M.BH HHHH]
| |
| M = Mirror CHR (very strange, see below)
| |
| B = CHR Block mode (0=enabled, 1=disabled)
| |
| H = CHR Block (when in block mode)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| In CHR Block mode ('B' clear), $A00x is ignored, and instead, the H bits selects a 256k block for all CHR.
| |
| $9000-9007 select a page within that block.
| |
|
| |
| In normal mode ('B' set), $9000-9007 select a page from the entire CHR.
| |
|
| |
| Mirror CHR mode ('M' set), only takes effect when in 1k or 2k mode ('C' = %10 or %11). In this mode,
| |
| $0800-$0FFF always mirrors $0000-07FF. ($1800 is unaffected, however). This is relatively easily
| |
| emulatable by using $9000+$9001 in place of $9002+$9003 in the chart below.
| |
|
| |
| Note that page numbers are in "actual" pages.
| |
|
| |
| $0000 $0400 $0800 $0C00 $1000 $1400 $1800 $1C00
| |
| +---------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| CHR Mode %00: | $9000 |
| |
| +---------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| CHR Mode %01: | $9000 | $9004 |
| |
| +-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| |
| CHR Mode %10: | $9000 | $9002 | $9004 | $9006 |
| |
| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| |
| CHR Mode %11: | $9000 | $9001 | $9002 | $9003 | $9004 | $9005 | $9006 | $9007 |

|
| |
| Mirroring:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
|
| |
| At first glance... mirroring appears simple:
| |
|
| |
| $D001: [.... ..MM]
| |
| %00 = Vert
| |
| %01 = Horz
| |
| %10 = 1ScA
| |
| %11 = 1ScB
| |
|
| |
| However there is a special setting to complicate this, of course.
| |
|
| |
| Note! For mapper 090, the above is it! None of the below special mirroring stuff applies. The below
| |
| mirroring info applies *only* to mapper 209.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $D000: [SRNC CPPP]
| |
| S,P = Relate to PRG (see prg setup for details)
| |
| C = Relates to CHR (see chr setup for details)
| |
| N = Enable advanced NT control (0=disabled, 1=enabled)
| |
| R = disable NT RAM (0=NT can be RAM or ROM, 1=NT ROM only)
| |
|
| |
| When 'N' is clear, $D001 controls mirroring, and all other mirroring regs are ignored (including 'R' bit of
| |
| $D000). When 'N' is set, $D001 is ignored, and the below regs control mirroring.
| |
|
| |
| Mapper 211 behaves as though N were always set.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $D002: [A... ....] NT RAM select bit
| |
| $B000-B003 NT Regs (low 8 bits)
| |
| $B004-B007 NT Regs (high 8 bits)
| |
|
| |
| Just like with normal CHR Regs, NT CHR regs are 16-bits... $B000-B003 specify the low bits, and $B004-B007
| |
| specify the high bit. They are arranged in the following:
| |
|
| |
| [ $B000 ][ $B001 ]
| |
| [ $B002 ][ $B003 ]
| |
|
| |
| When 'R' is set, $D002 is ignored, and CHR-ROM is always used as NT (with page selected by appropriate reg).
| |
| When 'R' is clear... CHR-ROM is only used if bit 7 of the NT Reg does not match the 'A' bit of $D002. If the
| |
| bits match, then NES internal NT RAM is used instead (either NTA or NTB, depending on bit 0 of the NT reg)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| IRQs
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
|
| |
| IRQs on this mapper are 100% completely insane. They decided to do everything possible in order to make IRQs
| |
| as obfuscated and ridiculous as possible.
| |
|
| |
| IRQs are triggered by any one of 4 sources:
| |
| 1) CPU Cycles
| |
| 2) A12 Rises
| |
| 3) PPU Reads (wtf, I know, but it's true)
| |
| 4) CPU Writes (wtf, I know, but it's true)
| |
|
| |
| I *think* the only method used by any games is the A12. CPU Cycles may also be used... and I really doubt
| |
| the other two are used anywhere.
| |
|
| |
| A12 rises operate just like they do for MMC3 (mapper 004 -- see that doc for details). One key difference:
| |
| Unlike the MMC3, nearby rises are not ignored. This means that under "normal" conditions, this IRQ counter
| |
| is clocked 8 times per scanline (not just once).
| |
|
| |
| Clocks are first run through a prescaler, which divides the clocks by either 256 or 8 (prescaling by 8 is
| |
| useful with A12 mode).
| |
|
| |
| Also.. the counter can be configured to count up, or count down! Among other oddities.
| |
|
| |
| Related regs are as follows:
| |
|
| |
| $C001: [DU.. FPSS]
| |
| D = Count-down mode (0=disabled, 1=enabled)
| |
| U = Count-up mode (0=disabled, 1=enabled)
| |
| F = Funky mode (0=disabled, 1=enabled) -- see below
| |
| P = Prescaler size (0=256, 1=8)
| |
| S = IRQ source:
| |
| %00 = CPU Cycles
| |
| %01 = PPU A12 rising edges
| |
| %10 = PPU Reads
| |
| %11 = CPU Writes
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $C002: [.... ....] Any write here will acknowledge and disable IRQs
| |
| $C003: [.... ....] Any write here will enable IRQs
| |
| $C000: [.... ...E] Alternate method:
| |
| writing to this reg with E=0: same as writing to $C002
| |
| writing to this reg with E=1: same as writing to $C003
| |
|
| |
| $C004: [PPPP PPPP] Prescaler. Any write here will set the prescaler to 'P' XOR $C006
| |
| $C005: [IIII IIII] IRQ Counter. Any write here will set the IRQ counter to 'I' XOR $C006
| |
| $C006: [XXXX XXXX] This value is used as a XOR when writing to $C004/5
| |
|
| |
| $C007: Funky Mode Reg
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $C004 and $C005 directly change the IRQ counter/prescaler. They do not change a reload value.
| |
|
| |
| When Count-up and count-down mode are both enabled, or both disabled, the IRQ counter will stand still. Only
| |
| one can be enabled for IRQs to work.
| |
|
| |
| When the prescaler is in 3-bit mode (divide by 8), the high 5 bits of the prescaler remain unchanged when
| |
| clocked and only the low 3 bits are used. When the low 3 bits wrap, the IRQ counter is clocked. 8-bit mode
| |
| (divide by 256) works as you'd expect.
| |
|
| |
| When the IRQ counter wraps (either $FF->00 or $00->FF, depending on whether it's incrementing or
| |
| decrementing), an IRQ is tripped (if enabled).
| |
|
| |
| Disabling IRQs does not stop the counter or prescaler from counting, it simply stops the IRQ from being
| |
| generated.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Funky Mode:
| |
|
| |
| When 'F' in $C001 is clear, $C007 is ignored. When set, exact operation is unknown. It appears to funkify
| |
| the prescaler. $C007 containing any value other than $FF will result in the IRQ counter not being clocked at
| |
| all... and $FF will result in the prescaler dividing by strange amounts (sometimes 8? sometimes 12?
| |
| sometimes 257?). Details are unknown. Fortunately, no games use this funky mode.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Other crap:
| |
| ---------------------------
| |
|
| |
| $5000: [DD.. ....] Dipswitch settings (readable only)
| |
| These bits can be read back as any value depending on dipswitch settings on the cart. The high bit, in
| |
| paticular, has an effect in some games.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $5800, $5801: 8*8->16 multiplication reg. (read+write)
| |
| These are similar to MMC5's multiplication reg. You write two values you want multiplied to $5801 and
| |
| $5800, then the 16-bit product can be read back ($5800 has low 8 bits, $5801 has high 8 bits).
| |
| Mulitplication is unsigned. Multiplication appears to need some processing time. After writing values, wait
| |
| 8 CPU cycles before reading.
| |
|
| |
| $5803: a single byte of RAM (read+write)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| $5804-$5807 may also be RAM -- it's unknown.
| |
|
| |
|
