PowerPak MAPA1.MAP iNES 161 Hanjuku Hero fix

Post by rainwarrior »

So, this mapper is in the official 1.34 mapper set, but it doesn't actually work. Its loader appears to be written for an earlier version of the PowerPak BIOS and was never updated. It's the oldest file in the set with a date of 2007-02-24.

Anyway, very easy to fix. The loader stub is of the same form as the updated ones, just the addresses to the BIOS were mismatched. Transplanting the 1.34 standard loader stub into it makes it work fine, I think.

Anyway, because it's for Hanjuku Hero which was later discovered to just be mapper 1, and it seems to run fine on mapper 1... probably nobody will need this.

But, if anyone wondered by that one didn't work, this is why. The fixed version is attached.
