 ========================
 
 
 Example Game:
 --------------------------
 Fong Shen Bang - Zhu Lu Zhi Zhan
 
 
 Notes:
 --------------------------
 
 Regs lie at $6000-601F; SRAM exists at $6800-6FFF.
 
 
 Registers:
 ---------------------------
 
 Range,Mask:   $6000-601F, $6007
 
 
   $6000-6003:  PRG Regs
   $6004-6007:  CHR Regs
 
 
 CHR Setup:
 ---------------------------
 
       $0000   $0400   $0800   $0C00   $1000   $1400   $1800   $1C00 
     +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
     |     $6004     |     $6005     |     $6006     |     $6007     |
     +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
 
 
 PRG Setup:
 ---------------------------
 
       $8000   $A000   $C000   $E000  
     +-------+-------+-------+-------+
     | $6000 | $6001 | $6002 | $6003 |
     +-------+-------+-------+-------+
 
 
 Powerup/Reset:
 ---------------------------
 $6003 set to $FF on powerup only

The present hardware seems to be:

  • Four 74LS670 4 x 4bit dual-ported memory
  • One GAL16V8
  • PRG ROM (up to 2 MiB), CHR ROM (up to 512 KiB), PRG RAM (8 KiB)
  • Miscellaneous resistors, diodes, and a battery to power the PRG RAM

There is additionally some weird behavior on reads from $FFE4-$FFFF, but most existing dumps have been fixed to not need this.
