This document main goal is show where one can find the SNES ROM
|
|
||||||
information. Most of this information was collected thru hacking
|
|
||||||
the rom to death and help from Norm/Yoshi/chp.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
License codes are taken from SU and probably incorrect.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Source? None here, if you are going to screw with the bin,
|
|
||||||
you probably know what you are doing (HOPEFULLY).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have any questions, comments,corrections, additional information,
|
|
||||||
you can either find me on IRC as (MindRape) or you can send me email
|
|
||||||
(much prefered) mind@primenet.com. Also if you write anything
|
|
||||||
interesting then send it to me!

ROM Title : 21 Bytes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Titles are all in upper case
|
|
||||||
* Japanese titles are in high ascii values
|
|
||||||
good rule of thumb if you can't read the title and
|
|
||||||
it's country code is Japan and your American,
|
|
||||||
you probably can't play it. :>

* DSP1 = Nintendo's 1st generation of DSP (Math coprocessor)
|
|

* FX = RISC based math coprocessor
|

Only a couple of games support the FX Chip, Star Fox

is the most well known one.

0A 8 Mbit
|
|

0B 16 Mbit
|
|
||||||
0C 32 Mbit
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* As of this documentation 32MBit ROMs are the largest that
|
|
||||||
Nintendo currently uses. Rumors of a 40+ kart are around,
|
|
||||||
but cannot be verified.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* 8MBit ROMs are the most common in the entire library of
|
|
||||||
SNES karts
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* ROMs are always multiples 2, thus 2MBit ROMs are the smallest
|
|
||||||
Space Invaders (c) Taito is a 2MBit ROM (Japan only)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Easy way to calc rom size without a lookup table
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1 << (ROM_SIZE - 7) MBits
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ie. 8Mbit ROMs = 0Ah = 10d
|
|
||||||
1 << (0A-7) = 8 Mbit

|

|
|

|
|

* 64Kbit is the largest SRAM size that Nintendo currently uses.
|
|
||||||
* 256Kbit is standard for most copiers.
|
|

|
|

* Easy way to calc SRAM Size without a lookup table
|
|

|
|

1 << (3+SRAM_BYTE) Kbits
|
|

ie. 16Kbit = 01

* License Codes are from SU.INI, could someone verify these?
|
|

|
|

* I believe the # of licenses is low. Is it possible that
|
|
||||||
License and Country codes are used in conjuction to produce
|
|
||||||
that many more licenses?
|
|

|
|

VERSION - 1 byte

|

|
|

|
|
||||||
CHECKSUM COMPLEMENT - 2 bytes the complement of the checksum :>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The bits are reversed of the CHECKSUM
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
CHECKSUM - 2 bytes Checksum of the bin
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Anyone know how the checksum is calculated for the ROM?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
NMI/VBL Vector - 2 bytes - OFFSET 81FAh (lowrom)
|
|
||||||
OFFSET 101FAh (hirom)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
RESET Vector - 2 bytes where to start our code at - OFFSET 81FCh (lowrom)
|
|
||||||
- OFFSET 101FAh (hirom)
|
|
||||||
* 8000h is common for Low Roms
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
=[READING THE CORRECT BIN INFORMATION]==================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The bin information can be found in 2 possible places,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
a) End of the 1st 32K bank (Low ROM) (81c0h/w 512 byte header)
|
|
||||||
b) End of the 1st 64K bank (HiROM) (101c0h/w 512 byte header)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You could use UCON's method (author chp).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The method is as followed:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
UCON's method is to OR the Checksum and the Complement. If the
|
|
||||||
resulting value is FFFFh, then we found the correct location of
|
|
||||||
to extract rest of the data out. HOWEVER! This fails on several
|
|
||||||
karts, such as Castle Wolfenstien 3D and Super Tetris 3 for example.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Reason being is that not all developers put the correct complement
|
|
||||||
or bother even to implement it. I would suspect! That this maybe
|
|
||||||
a ploy to keep other developers out of the bin, for if they can't
|
|
||||||
find the reset vector, disassembling becomes a bit difficult.
|
