iNES Mapper 082 represents boards using Taito's X1-017 mapper IC, which provides something a little more sophisticated than MMC3. It loses the indirect addressing, adds a 3rd 8 KiB ROM slice, and has 5 KiB of battery-backed RAM.

The cartridge connector's /IRQ line is connected to the mapper IC, but it is not known how to trigger one.

Overview

  • PRG ROM size: 256 KiB (maybe 512 KiB?)
  • PRG ROM bank size: 8 KiB
  • PRG RAM: Yes, internal, battery backed.
  • CHR capacity: 256 KiB ROM
  • CHR bank size: 1 KiB and 2 KiB
  • Nametable mirroring: Controlled by mapper
  • Subject to bus conflicts: no

Banks

  • CPU $6000-$73FF: 5 KiB PRG RAM
  • CPU $7EF0-$7EFF: Mapper registers
  • CPU $8000-$9FFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank
  • CPU $A000-$BFFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank
  • CPU $C000-$DFFF: 8 KB switchable PRG ROM bank
  • CPU $E000-$FFFF: 8 KB PRG ROM bank, fixed to the last bank
  • PPU $0000-$07FF (or $1000-$17FF): 2 KB switchable CHR bank
  • PPU $0800-$0FFF (or $1800-$1FFF): 2 KB switchable CHR bank
  • PPU $1000-$13FF (or $0000-$03FF): 1 KB switchable CHR bank
  • PPU $1400-$17FF (or $0400-$07FF): 1 KB switchable CHR bank
  • PPU $1800-$1BFF (or $0800-$0BFF): 1 KB switchable CHR bank
  • PPU $1C00-$1FFF (or $0C00-$0FFF): 1 KB switchable CHR bank
