Official documentation

I added files shared by the original developer of this mapper. There is some interesting info that can be added to the article. Cluster (talk) 00:15, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Submapper 8/9

Why do we need a submapper for this? As I see it, it's merely submapper 2/3 with A20/A21/A22 in a different order. NewRisingSun (talk) 20:03, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

So, it's not compatible with 2/3 because of A20/A21/A22 in a different order. There are ROMs which can't be emulated using existing submappers. I see no reason why they shouldn't be added. Also, AFAIK from the developer, all new ASICs will use this submapper. Cluster (talk) 15:19, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
