Castlevania Judgment Iso Ntsc And Pal Cartridges
Decrypt p25 radios wiki. MMC3, by comparison, was popular due to commercial interest. It's only natural that it wouldn't have the same post-market value outside reproduction and hacks. It just doesn't offer features that are interesting or convenient enough. I said MMC3 scale, meaning finely banked CHR, scanline counter, etc. There are only a couple homebrews which utilize these types of features regardless if the mapper is interfaced in MMC3 fashion or not. Those features do have post-market value, even if you don't understand/see it. You talk about wanting parallax scrolling, but these 'uninteresting features of the MMC3' are the features that permit parallax scrolling on the NES.
The final licensed NES game released on a physical cartridge was the PAL-exclusive The Lion King in 1995, and the most recent unlicensed game of significant notability released is Data East All Star Collection released in December 2017. The NES was succeeded by the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, released in 1991.
One thing that would alter the performance of layered PPU:s considerably is the presence of a BG colour mask per layer. If there's no such thing, the bg colour would always be transparent, which could work, but is kind of a waste. With a transparency mask working like a' one-bit-per-cell' attribute table, we'd get much more mileage out of the two top BG layers. The bad news is that it's a new block tied to the layer merger block.
The good news is it's optional for the dev to use it or just fill it with 0:s for the same effect as if it is not implemented, enabling different strategies and styles of graphics. Re: MMC, scanline counting: Sorry, i must've missed that. Yes, that's how its done, or by cycle counting (like jupiter scope 2). My thinking here is. If you have access to a straighforward interface counting scanlines for your project, you wouldn't normally count cycles (except for the challenge/sport). Now, if you had three background layers, you wouldn't count scanlines for this purpose (except for the same reason - or if you've managed to tie up all layers to something else and still want parallax).
I mean, this is a bit outside NES territory, which is why i posted it in 'general'. I should've probably added that my digression on mappers was based on personal judgement (what i personally choose to prioritize - the feature set of GTROM over banking granularity and counters). FYI, GTROM doesn't really have any features that are special/specific to GTROM.
Practically all mappers can have 4screen mirroring tacked onto them (the few licensed games with 4screen mirroring added it to MMC3). 16KB PRG-ROM banking, multiple 8KB banks of CHR-RAM, and flash saves, are all basic features which can be integrated into any mapper. EDIT: corrected by lidnariq below as to my knowledge hole. While GTROM is only design to bank nametables, it's still a relatively simple expansion that could be applied to most mappers. I'm not a hardware guy at all, so I don't know if any of this is with the realm of feasibility, but I think it'd be cool if some of the unused opcodes were replaced with useful features like phx/phy/plx/ply to make stack operations faster in time-critical code like NMI handler; but still retain backwards compatibility with the regular 6502 instruction set.
