1. Mario Paint

I want to point out that every SNES image includes a pair of bytes that describes whether it's "LoROM" and how much RAM it contains.
Quickly running through a reference library, I see 11 US games that describe themselves as Mode 0x20 and using 32 KiB of RAM.

How handy ... A reference library. :)
Does it list the names of the games?

I kinda want to make you go through the legwork ;p

I'd taken the entire GoodSNES 2.04 set, ran the attached simple program on those files, and then used grep to look for lines that contained (respectively) "32KiB RAM", not a hack, had a mode byte of 0x20 or 0x30, and not japan-only: grep -Fa ' 32KiB RAM' snes-headers.txt | grep -av \\\[[A-Za-z] | grep -Ea ', [23]0' | grep -Fav '(J)' | less

Cool! I always want to learn the way to do things. I'll have to run the program tomorrow when I'm on my pc. I'm assuming the ipad won't run it.

Thanks!

No, you'll need a C compiler

You'll need the Visual C++ Redist then, here it is. Pick vcredist_x86.exe. It's just about 6 MB.
