Question about NES Quattro Carts

Post by StriderSkorpion »

I was going through my personal NES backups and noticed that my Quattro carts didn't match the database. After looking at the entries on the Dat-O-Matic, shouldn't Quattro Adventure and Quattro Sports have two entries? That is, one for Aladdin carts (with altered banks) and one for full NES carts. According to the NESDev wiki, mapper 232 has two different submappers. Submapper 1 is only used for the Aladdin carts/the CCU v2.00, while 0 is used for standard cartridges/the BF9096. Thus, the following dumps from bootgod's database for Quattro Adventure and Quattro Sports should be good dumps since they have the appropriate bank layouts for submapper 0/BF9096. Or is the information on the BF9096 all wrong? I know FCEUX's implementation is only for submapper 1, while I believe Mesen does it correctly (according to the information on the NESDev Wiki, that is).

I was mistaken about Quattro Arcade. For some reason, I thought it was an Aladdin only cartridge when it was only released as an NES cartridge. As such, based on the information on the NESDev wiki, the Quattro Arcade ROM in the database has its banks in the wrong order. It should follow submapper 0 banking since it uses the BF9096, unlike the Aladdin cartridges.
