This register is accessible regardless of whether WRAM is enabled in the MMC3 clone's A001 register. It may be possible that there is another bit, unused on the only discovered cartridge using this mapper, that selects the bit value which PRG/CHR A17 is forced to when S=1. Note that unlike many similar MMC3-based multicarts, this register is accessible even when the MMC3's WRAM bit in register $A001 is clear.
