'''Action 53''' is a multicart engine by Damian Yerrick that stuffs dozens of [[NROM]] games that use vertical [[mirroring]] into one ROM image using [[iNES Mapper 034|mapper 34]].
'''Action 53''' is a series of homebrew multicart releases, using a mapper designed by Damian Yerrick for this purpose.
It can also be made to work with [[CNROM]] multicarts as long as they don't switch CHR banks during play.


A multicart mapper was designed for this project to more easily accommodate games larger than NROM.

Action 53 is a series of homebrew multicart releases, using a mapper designed by Damian Yerrick for this purpose.

For the multicart mapper, see: Action 53 mapper

This multi-discrete mapper (iNES #28) can simulate the behavior of popular discrete boards. In the first volume, the menu and all games except STREEMERZ run in this mapper's BNROM compatibility mode. The second and third volumes still use BNROM mode for the menu and most games but uses UNROM mode for several games and NROM-128 mode for 16K games so that both games in a bank can have their own NMI vectors. The third volume uses CNROM mode (which requires 32K RAM) for one game (Sinking Feeling)
