It is one of those boards with MMC3's WRAM/CE line controlling external register.
Bits from those register controls PRG+CHR upper lines.
And MMC3-CPU-A14 can be switched between CPU-A14 and GND so that MMC3's PRG lines can be used to provide switchable 16k banks at $8000 and $c000 (NROM support)

Normally those boards consisted of 74161+74157 for example
http://krzysiobal.com/carts/?action=view&id=263
http://krzysiobao.com/carts/?action=view&id=125

Here, all that "external" functionality is integrated inside the leftmost blob:

Code: Select all

WRITES AT:      fedc ba98 7654 3210
$6000-$7fff ~ [ 111. .... ...? ????]

What bits with `?` can control
* PRG A18
* PRG A19
* CHR A18 
* what is supplied to MMC3's CPU A14 (CPU A14 or GND)
* what is supplied to PRG's A0 (either CPUA0 or GND?
* what is supplied to PRG's A14 (either MMC3's PRG A14 or CPU A14)
* maybe also one of the bits can control if any further writes to this reg can be disabled

Without dump of menu, it is impossible to figure out how the script should look like.
