NES-CPROM (no HVC-CPROM known) is a particular Nintendo cartridge board which uses discrete logic to provide up to four 4 KB banks of CHR RAM. The iNES format assigns mapper 13 to this board. Only Videomation, a paint program for NES, is known to use it.
Overview
- PRG ROM size: 32 KB (DIP-28 standard pinout)
- PRG ROM bank size: Not bankswitched
- PRG RAM: None
- CHR capacity: 16 KB RAM
- CHR bank size: 4 KB
- Nametable mirroring: Vertical
- Subject to bus conflicts: Yes
Banks
- PPU $0000-$0FFF: 4 KB fixed CHR RAM bank (first page)
- PPU $1000-$1FFF: 4 KB swappable CHR RAM page
Registers
Bank select ($8000-$FFFF)
7 bit 0
---- ----

++- Select 4 KB CHR RAM bank for PPU $1000-$1FFF
Hardware
The CPROM board uses a 74HC161 (4-bit latch), 74HC04 (hex inverter), and 74HC08 (quad 2-input AND gate).
