iNES Mapper 015 denotes the K-1029 and K-1030P circuit boards, used for the 100-in-1 Contra Function 16 and 168-in-1 New Contra Function 16 multicarts.
Banks
- CPU $8000-$FFFF: Switchable PRG-ROM banks (8/16/32 KiB)
- PPU $0000-$1FFF: Unbanked 8 KiB of CHR-RAM that can be write-protected
- Nametable mirroring: Switchable horizontal/vertical settings
Address and Data Latch ($8000-$FFFF, write)
Mask: $8000

CHR-RAM is write-protected in PRG banking modes 0 and 3, and write-enabled in modes 1 and 2.
Use for mapper hacks
The only known two cartridges using this mapper are the two listed multicarts. All other known ROM files claiming to use mapper 15 have been identified as being mapper hacks, usually from mappers 164 and 227. To run these mapper-hacked games, emulators must not enforce CHR-RAM write-protection even though an actual K-1029 PCB would, and must provide 8 KiB of PRG-RAM at CPU $6000-$7FFF even though an actual K-1029 PCB would not.
