NES 2.0 Mapper 446

NES 2.0 Mapper 446 denotes Mindkids' SMD172B_FPGA circuit board. It is used for some large multicarts from Pixel Games as well as for homebrew games such as:

• Jay and Silent Bob Mall Brawl
• Blazing Rangers/炎のRangerman

Supervisor Registers

Mapper Selection ($5000, write)

D~[L..M MMMM]
   |  +-++++-- Mapper for the FPGA to emulate
   +---------- 1=Lock supervisor registers until reset

The set of mappers that the FPGA can emulate differs across cartridges and is selected by the NES 2.0 Submapper.

The register has an inverted meaning in Submapper 2 vs. Submappers 0-1. In Submappers 0-1, an "1" bit means that the Outer Bank bit is used. In Submapper 2, an "1" bit means that the Inner Bank bit is used.

Flags ($5004, write)

The mirroring bit has no effect when selecting an FPGA mapper with software-selectable mirroring.
