[Techtoolslist] Crystal Castles ROM Address Range

[David Shoemaker]

Hey Clay great description of the issue on this one.

Now do you have any F#(*)$#ing idea how to do that with Williams "classic"
hardware?  Been pulling my hair out for way to long trying to figure out how
to do it on them.  And while I am at it MCR III :)

Crystal Castles uses so-called bank selected memory, meaning that only a
portion of the total ROM is visible at any given time from a particular
address range.


>From a quick glance at the schematic, it looks like writing either a 

>0x00 or

0x01 to address 0x9E87 will switch banks of ROM.  Put another way .1f and
.1h will appear in memory *or* .1k and .1l.  0xA000 (.1k and .1h) and 0xC000
(.1l and .1f)

You can write 0x9E87 with 0x00 or 0x01 from the 9010 controls to manually
switch banks and view/checksum ROM contents.
