Default connections ("CL mode"):
- Connect CHR-ROM A0 directly to PPU A0.
- Connect CHR-ROM A1 directly to PPU A1.
- Connect CHR-ROM A2 directly to PPU A2.
- Leave output pins 94, 95 & 96 disconnected on the MMC5.
For smooth vertical scrolling in vertical split mode ("SL mode"):
- Connect CHR-ROM A0 only to pin 94 of the MMC5.
- Connect CHR-ROM A1 only to pin 95 of the MMC5.
- Connect CHR-ROM A2 only to pin 96 of the MMC5.
"CL mode" passes the lowest PPU address bits straight to CHR ROM, while "SL mode" runs them through MMC5. SL mode allows the MMC5 to perform independent, scanline-precise vertical scrolling in vertical split mode on the side specified by register $5200. CL mode does not. All known MMC5 cartridges use CL mode. It is not known why SL mode was not used instead; possibly ROM speed issues.
