Revision as of 18:49, 1 July 2013

This mapper represents most of the PCBs using the Namcot 175 and Namcot 340 ICs, such as Famista '92 and Wagyan Land 3. It is very similar to iNES Mapper 019, having a Namco 163-class mapper IC with no N163 expansion sound.

The 175 always has hard-wired mirroring. The 340 has an entirely different and incompatible mirroring control from the 163.

Run-time heuristics can determine how the emulator should act:

  • if $E000.7 is ever set, this should be a Namcot 340.
  • if $E000.6 is set and this isn't a Namcot 163, this is probably a Namcot 340.
  • if the game ever writes to $4800, $5000, $5800, $C800, $D000, $D800, or $F800 this should be a Namcot 163
  • if the game ever writes to $C000 and this isn't a Namcot 163, this is probably a Namcot 175 with external RAM.

Badly behaved software or software that writes to both sets of mirroring control registers will fail these heuristics.

Naruko provided a table of which games used which ICs and what is necessary for accurate emulation, translated here:

  • hard: those marked with * were only found as epoxy: they were determined by connectivity and VRAM /CS behavior
  • soft: The Namcot 175 and 340 are similar enough that they can be emulated together
  • soft: Categorized as 340 if they don't write to $5800 or $c800
  • battRAM:
    • none: Neither external Work RAM nor battery.
    • internal: Battery backup of 163's internal memory.
    • external: External SRAM with battery backup.
  • yyyy.mm.dd is the release date.
  • Splatterhouse and Famista '91 are the only games that do not use a 163 that can be correctly emulated as using a 163. (Translator suspects the games perform compatibility writes)
  • The 129 sounds different from the 163: sometimes it's distorted. (translator: This is the most coherent I could get it) RAM and IRQ are the same as the 163. VRAM behavior has not been tested.

The found mixing resistors were reported in this archived thread from 2ch.
