As it uses the MMC3 clones's WRAM interface, writing to the Outer Bank register requires enabling and not write-protecting WRAM in the MMC's $A001 register.

MMC3-compatible registers

Mask: $E001

See MMC3.

Notes

  • The inner PRG-ROM bank is restricted to 128 KiB, the CHR-ROM bank unrestricted.
