Mapper 94 = HVC-UN1ROM
by BootGod on 2007-11-12 (#28182)

I've been working on some more Famicom carts and I came across this one, HVC-UN1ROM-01.

At first I just figured it was going to work just like UNROM but with maybe a 64KB ROM instead of 128K, but that is not the case. D0 and D1 are not used for some reason, instead D2-D4 are used.

Turns out this behavior was implemented as INES mapper 94, I never found any references to the actual board name though.

Senjō no ōkami is Capcom's Commando, nothing to do with Capcom's other Ōkami game.

Oh wait, this isn't the Name That Game thread

This means $00 swaps bank 0, $04 swaps bank 1, $08 swaps banks 2, etc... ?
What were Capcom thinking (or possibly Nintendo) ?

they were probably trying to prevent piracy.

that is exactly right Bregalad, and as for never-obsolete's comment, that is the only logical reasoning I could think of as well.
