[FDS Conversion] All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (ANNSMB) MMC3 Port. and disassembly

[Charizard700]

Hello.
I am working on porting ANN SMB to MMC3 on a Japanese bulletin board.
I hacked by referring to the MMC3 version of SMB2J.
Created because there is no faithful FDS conversion for ANNSMB.

Apply the IPS patch to the SMB ROM file.
Some binaries have been disassembled. (NSMMAIN and NSMDATA3 only, but in Japanese).

Please provide a link to where this originated?

CHR-RAM is now required to process the character that appear after clearing the castle surface in ANNSMB. For this reason it has been modified to use Mapper 195.
Also, since there was a useless routine in the modified FDS BIOS part, I deleted it.
（There is also a modified version of that SMB2J.）
I found some problems with the SMB2J file. It has been deleted.

Glad to see mapper195. It's nice

It is presumed that the MMC3 version SMMB2J was created by modifying Kaiser's SMB2J (Mapper 142).
Kaiser's SMB2J (Mapper 142) seems to have a problem the software reset.
On the other hand, Kaiser's Bubble Bobble (Mapper 142) seems to have the software reset working properly.
For the time being, setting $EE9E (0x1EEAF for NES file) from CLI ($58) to NOP ($EA) will the software reset.
It seems to be working properly.

I am interested in porting [FDS] Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) Level Editor and smb2j-glitched worlds to ANNSMB.
However, the smb2j-glitchedworlds port I tried didn't work.
Also, we have not yet worked on porting the [FDS] Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) level editor.

[Charizard700]

I uploaded the modified SMB2J.

Fixed a routine that was not useful for the modified FDS BIOS part.
Fixed an incorrect ending process.
Fixed the red piranha flowers to work.

But, I didn't know how to fix the green spring board without changing the binary significantly, so I haven't fixed it.

[Charizard700]

The green spring board has been fixed.
Made changes based on Beneficii's red piranha plant fix code.

Which version of the .FDS dump of ANN is correct for applying that v0.8 Mapper4 patch please? It's for a one off cartridge I'm making for another forum acquaintance. I don't have any pcb's that support the CHR ram of Mapper 159 asks of the .95 version so I'm sticking to Mapper 4 to use the MMC3 board I have on hand.

[Charizard700]

This patch is based on the correct FDS ANN-SMB. There is only one known version of ANN-SMB.
The IPS file has been patched to Super Mario Bros. (JU) because it is inappropriate to convert the FDS file to a NES file.
The mapper 195 version works as a regular MMC3 by changing the ines header to mapper 4.
However, the part that depends on CHR-RAM does not work.
It may be possible to port it to the more versatile mapper 119.
If you have a strong desire to port Mapper 119, I will consider creating a binary.

[nintendo2600]

No, I was looking to just built up a cartridge using a common TSROM pcb which if I understand correctly from what you are saying, is not possible. Thanks for your input. I guess this just isn't happening for me. Better to know than not.

Does an NES board that supports Mapper 195 with CHR RAM exist for purchase that you know of?
Now it's more of a curiosity now than anything else. All I can find of it is some pirate pcb's that
use either epoxy globs or smd for the PRG & CHR. Not exactly the kinda boards you would want
for a donor. I looked for a newly made pcb and found nothing.

For purchase, no, but it's "just" a normal MMC3 board (with both CHR RAM and CHR ROM) plus a PAL: viewtopic.php?p=240335#p240335

What do you think the distrobution of those waxing boards of that flavor is when comparing epoxy VS dip chips? I'd grab a famicom pirate cart to play with if the chances are good it will be populated with dip chips and not an epoxy blob.
