Here are Disch's original notes: ======================== = Mapper 050 = ======================== Example Game: -------------------------- Super Mario Bros. (JU) (Alt Levels) (SMB2j pirate cart) Notes: --------------------------- No PRG-RAM. PRG setup is bizarre, as is the scrambled PRG reg. Registers: --------------------------- Range,Mask: $4020-5FFF, $4120 $4020: [.... HLLM] L,M,H = Low, middle, and high bits of PRG Reg $4120: [.... ...E] IRQ Enable (0=Disabled, 1=Enabled) PRG Setup: --------------------------- $6000 $8000 $A000 $C000 $E000 +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ | {$0F} | { 8 } | { 9 } | $4020 | {$0B} | +-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+ IRQs: --------------------------- Writing to $4120 with E=0 will disable IRQs, acknowledge the pending IRQ, and reset the IRQ counter to 0. Writing with E=1 will just enable IRQs (but will not change anything else). When enabled, The IRQ counter will count up every CPU cycle. When it makes the transition from $0FFF->$1000, and IRQ is generated. The counter appears to be a full 16-bits (so it will not wrap until $FFFF)
