Super Mario Bros. on PCE

[Kitsunexus]

Simple memory mappers are very easy to convert.  The games on their 5/6-in-1 ROMs are even easier, since they didn't have any mapper!

No memory mappers for 5/6 roms? What did they do, get the Playchoice dumps or something? I thought that memory mappers deal with bank switching and stuff, doesn't a compilation cart use bank switching?

The NES doesn't need MMCs for every game, just any game that looks post-1984. SMB doesn't need one, so porting is easy. Simple bank switching like you use for a multi-cart (probably not needed for these tiny games) doesn't require a special chip per say. 2600 games use bank switching with no special chips.

Cool,thanks for the info.

So basically as long as it's not Crystalis or Megaman looking, it could go on the NES. ^_^

Well, since they started there, I suppose so.  You must be drunk and meant to type PCE instead of NES, eh?

LOL, nah, try just woke up instead of drunk and you'd be closer. But yeah, I mean PCE. :p

Why couldn't those be hacked for the PCE?  PCE rom size is up to 8megabits (20Mbit if you have the right "string" in the right place  )

As any good programmer should.

The "string" in the hucard is so the emulators know what kind of rom it is I haven't test if Tototek looks for "street fighter" at address 0x1a558 (0x1a758 w/ header) or not.
