NES 2.0 Mapper 412

NES 2.0 Mapper 412 denotes an “MMC3 plus NROM” multicart mapper, used for the Intellivision 10-in-1 Plug ’n Play 2nd Edition as well as assorted multicarts from Henggedianzi. It uses an MMC3 clone with additional outer bank registers at $6000-$7FFF that are accessible via the MMC3’s WRAM interface, meaning that WRAM must be enabled via $A001 for them to be written to.
