NES 2.0 Mapper 388

NES 2.0 Mapper 388 denotes J.Y. Company’s YY841145C and YY850835C circuit boards, used for the multicarts:

1996 Super HiK 4-in-1 (JY-056 earlier version)
1996 Super HiK 5-in-1 (JY-056 later version)

It uses the J.Y. Company ASIC, has 1 MiB of PRG-ROM and CHR-ROM each, and is similar to NES 2.0 Mapper 386 but has the Outer Bank register bits in a different order. This particular PCB inhibits ROM nametables and Extended Mirroring that would otherwise be enabled via register, similar to INES Mapper 090.
