Hi,
Here is a list of generic mapper descriptions for known MegaROM mappers. It
is intended as a reference for people creating INI files for .msx packages
and as an example to illustrate how the generic mapper description works.
I was able to describe every mapper listed on Sean's page except for the
FM-PAC mapper, which has mapper registers that can be read. Also, SRAM isn't
described yet, Ricardo wrote he was working on that so I'm awaiting his post.
Bye,
Maarten
