NES 2.0 Mapper 266

NES 2.0 Mapper 266 is used by City Fighter IV, a hack of Master Fighter II that adds (very grungy) PCM speech output. Given that its resolution (four bits) is worse than the NES/Famicom's own DAC at $4011 (seven bits), it's not immediately obvious what the purpose of including its own DAC is, other than perhaps the possibility of low-pass filtering the 3.5 kHz-sampled PCM data on the circuit board. Its UNIF board name is UNL-CITYFIGHT.

Writing to this register also acknowledges the IRQ.

IRQ operation

If the IRQ is enabled, the counter is decremented on every second M2 cycle. If it becomes zero, an IRQ is raised.
