NES 2.0 Mapper 409 denotes the retroUSB DPCMcart circuit board, used for the homebrew music cartridge "A Winner is You" released by retroUSB.. It is basically an extremely oversized version of UNROM that latches twelve bits of the address, rather than the data, bus for selecting banks from a 64 MiB PRG address space.
Despite being called "DPCMcart", due to its fixed bank it cannot actually bank DPCM samples. Instead. in A Winner is You used the large ROM for PCM sample storage, played back with timed CPU code.
Banks
- CPU $8000-$BFFF: 16 KiB PRG bank, switchable
- CPU $C000-$FFFF: 16 KiB PRG bank, fixed to last bank
- PPU $0000-$1FFF. 8 KiB CHR RAM, unbanked
- Mirroring: Hard-wired
Registers
Address Latch ($C000-$CFFF, write)
Mask: unknown, probably $8000
