Super Mario Bros.
Mapper Conversion Patch
FROM Mapper 0 (NROM) TO Mapper 5 (MMC5)
Converted by Dracula X
RELEASE DATE: 06/26/2021
Last Modified: 05/2/2022


The main game of $C000-$FFFF is now located at $0010-$C010

MMC5 Setup is at $ff80 fixed bank

PRG Bankswitch Routine is at $C020

To switch banks from $C000 - $FFFF, use like so:


In a fixed bank:
LDA page_number
JSR $C020
JMP to anywhere in $8000-$BFFF

or

Try this in range $C000 to $FFFF
LDA page_number
JSR $C020
JSR to anywhere in $8000-$BFFF
LDA #$00
JSR $C020
RTS

or

LDA page_number #$80
PHA
LDA page_number #$00
PHA
LDA page_number #$02
JSR $C030
RTS

Compact Mapper makes it easier to switch banks and it is located at $F2DA:

JSR Bank_01	-	$F2F0
JSR New Location
JSR Bank_00
RTS

JSR Bank_02	-	$F2F4
JSR New Location
JSR Bank_00
RTS

goes up to bank $8D

Do this in $8000-$BFFF for Compact Mapper Example:
; somewhere in 8000-BFFF, bank 0
JMP to a bankswitching routine in a fixed bank

; somewhere in 8000-BFFF, bank 1
RTS

; somewhere in C000-FFFF, fixed bank
; saving & restoring AXY regs may be needed
JSR switch to bank 1
JSR to RTS in bank 1 or anywhere in $8000-$BFFF
JSR switch to bank 0 at $c020
+ original code from bank 0 that was replaced with your JSR
RTS


CHR bank 1 (Right side of PPU) is at $C014

To switch background pages, use like so:

LDA page_number
JSR $C014



Nametable Mapping Routine (one of its uses is mirroring) is at $C010

To change mirroring for instance, use like so:

LDA mirroring_number (#$44 for Vertical, #$50 for Horizontal)
JSR $C010

8KB CHR-ROM pages is located at $20000

Bank 06 is now at bank 00.
The settings that was at $BFDC is located at Bank 1 at $8000.
The settings that was at $F2D0 for SoundEngine is located at Bank 2 at $8000.
