NES 2.0 Mapper 380

NES 2.0 Mapper 380 denotes the 970630C (submapper 0) and KN-35A (submapper 1) multicart circuit board mounting 256-512 KiB of PRG-ROM plus 8 KiB of unbanked CHR-RAM.

 (O)     (m)     (S)
  0       0       ?     Switchable inner 16 KiB bank PPp at CPU $8000-$BFFF, fixed inner bank #7 at CPU $C000-$FFFF (UNROM)
  0       1       ?     Switchable inner 16 KiB bank QPPp at CPU $8000-$BFFF, fixed inner bank #15 at CPU $C000-$FFFF (UOROM, submapper 1 only)
  1       ?       0     Switchable 32 KiB inner bank PP at CPU $8000-$FFFF (NROM-256)
  1       ?       1     Switchable 16 KiB inner bank PPp at CPU $8000-$BFFF, mirrored at CPU $C000-$FFFF (NROM-128)

• When the m bit is set, PRG A3-A0 are replaced with the values of four solder pads, which when the menu code reads particular ROM locations effectively selects one of up to 16 menus with different game counts (submapper 0 only).
• Because all bits are cleared on reset, CPU $8000-$BFFF is set to 16 KiB bank #0, and $C000-$FFFF is set to 16 KiB bank #7 on reset.
