I'm pretty sure they don't, they just bank only 8k as they were always supposed to, and it's possible to have two banks of 4k and bankswitch them independently. I might be wrong, I'll have to double check.

Tying PA12 low

Based on the description of NES-EVENT (#105), it appears to tie the MMC1's PA12 input low and connect the cart's PA12 to A12 of the CHR RAM. --Tepples 08:31, 12 October 2012 (MDT)

SNROM, etc... loses CHR banking ?

I'm pretty sure they don't, they just bank only 8k as they were always supposed to, and it's possible to have two banks of 4k and bankswitch them independently. I might be wrong, I'll have to double check. Bregalad (talk) 04:26, 15 May 2014 (MDT)
