UNROM 512
Games that use this board include "Battle Kid 2: Mountain of Torment" and "Study Hall".
The example board in question is marked as follows: "Sealie Computing", "12/29/2011 revA",
"UNROM 512". The backside of the board was mislabeled with "ReproPak MMC3".
The board includes 4x banks worth of full 8KB CHR ram (Configurable by jumpers) and 32x 16KB
PRG banks.
The board can be wired in a not flashable, or self flashable configuration. Mirroring can be
selected between Horizontal, Vertical, and Mapper controlled One Screen.
Bus conflicts are only present on the non-flashable configuration of the board.
When board is not flashable:
Registers: --------------------------- Range,Mask: $8000-FFFF, $8000 $8000: [MCCP PPPP] M = One screen Mirroring select C = CHR RAM bank P = PRG ROM bank PRG Setup: --------------------------- $8000 $A000 $C000 $E000 +-------------------------------+ | $8000 | { -1} | +---------------+---------------+ CHR Setup: --------------------------- $0000 $1000 +-------+-------+ | $0000 | +-------+-------+
When board is self flashable:
Registers: --------------------------- Range,Mask: $8000-BFFF, $8000 $C000-FFFF, $C000 $8000: [.... ....] Write a sequence of bytes here for writing to the flash. The sequence is as follows (This code must exist in wram): Erase 4KB Flash Sector: $C000:$01, $9555:$AA $C000:$00, $AAAA:$55 $C000:$01, $9555:$80 $C000:$01, $9555:$AA $C000:$00, $AAAA:$55 $C000:BANK, ADDR:$30 (Where BANK is $00-1F, ADDR is $8000,$9000,$A000,$B000) Read the written location twice until you get $FF twice. Write a byte: $C000:$01, $9555:$AA $C000:$00, $AAAA:$55 $C000:$01, $9555:$A0 $C000:BANK, ADDR:DATA (Where BANK is $00-1F, ADDR is $8000-$BFFF, DATA is $00-$FF) Read the written location twice until you get DATA twice. $C000: [MCCP PPPP] M = One screen Mirroring select C = CHR RAM bank P = PRG ROM bank PRG Setup: --------------------------- $8000 $A000 $C000 $E000 +-------------------------------+ | $8000 | { -1} | +---------------+---------------+ CHR Setup: --------------------------- $0000 $1000 +-------+-------+ | $8000 | +-------+-------+
