NES 2.0 Mapper 264 is used for two fighting games from Yoko Soft (aka Cony):

  • Mortal Kombat II/V Pro
  • Master Fighter VI'

It is similar but not quite identical to several other Cony mappers. Its UNIF board name is UNL-YOKO.

IRQ Acknowledge and Counter Low ($8800)

A write directly changes the low eight bits of the 16-bit IRQ counter and acknowledges the IRQ.

Mask: Probably $8C17

IRQ Enable and Counter High ($8801)

A write directly changes the high eight bits of the 16-bit IRQ counter, and copies bit 7 of the Mode register to the actual IRQ Enable register (which is not directly accessible).

Mask: Probably $8C17

Inner PRG-ROM Bank ($8C0x)

These registers only have an effect in 8 KiB PRG-ROM banking mode (see $8400 bits 3 and 4). They are ORed with bit 8 SHL 1 of the Outer PRG-ROM bank register ($8000).

Mask: Probably $8C17

8C16: Set 2 KiB CHR-ROM bank at PPU $1000-$17FF
8C17: Set 2 KiB CHR-ROM bank at PPU $1800-$1FFF

IRQ Operation

If the IRQ counter is enabled (by writing a value to $8801 after setting bit 7 in the Mode register), and the counter is not zero, the counter is increased (Mode register bit 6 clear) or decreased (Mode register bit 6 set) on every M2 cycle. If it reaches zero, an IRQ is raised, and the IRQ counter is automatically disabled.

Notes

  • Although the DIP switch has two bits (the value read is ANDed with $03), both games only check whether it is zero/nonzero.
  • Master Fighter VI' used the value read from DIP switch ($5200) to determine if game should be run in NTSC/Dendy (lowest bit equals 1) or PAL (lowest bit equals 0) mode
  • Power-up state is unknown, but game Master Fighter VI' executes from $E000 and first what it does is to change mode to 2 and continues to execute code from the same place. So either power-up mode is 0/2/3 plus $8C03 needs to be set to $0F (or maybe every bit of every register is initialized with ones)
