Cart DB #449: Zanac (FDS port kaiser ks-7012)

Notes for chip search:

Use "+" as delimeter for all fields (except "cart name", where space is used); if many values are entered, all of them must appear in the cartridge then; case is not sensitive
"Mapper" is the actual mapper used by this cartridge hardware (might not match the one at wiki.nesdev.com, as at the moment I was analyzing this cartridge, there was no mapper assigned to it, so I had to assign my own number for testing)
"Original mapper" is the mapper used by licensed version of this game (for multicarts, it refers to mapper of the inside games, so 0+2 means this cartridge can run NROM+UNROM games)
Order in which you put values doesn't matter (you can write 7400+74138+7400 or 7400+7400+74138 to search for a cartridge that contains at least two 7400 chips and one 74138
Some chips (like PAL16*8) appear in cartridges as 16V8 or 16L8, so be sure to check both posibilities
Same goes for memories - type 27F080 to search for 32 pin memories, 27512 for 28 pin with two chip enables or MASKROM_1M_DIP28 for 28 pin with one chip enable
Same goes for mappers - some examples: AX5904(MMC1), AX5202P(MMC3), PT8154BM (9112MMC3), AX5208C(VRC4), 23C3662(VRC2)
Good news is that you can use wildcards, so 74139+*MMC3* will search for any cartrige that has at least one 74139 and MMC3 chip in any version

Zanac (FDS COnversion) - Kaiser KS-7012 (KS-201 chip) I got photos of this cartridge. It uses yet another Kaiser custom chips (KS-201). This PCB is emulated under [url=http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/NES_2.0_Mapper_346]mapper 346[/url] which is different to the [url=https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18336]Whirlwind Manu port[/url]. [url=https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2064232800_1572767735.jpg][img]https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2064232800_1572767735_thumb.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/6015412100_1572767740.jpg][img]https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/6015412100_1572767740_thumb.jpg[/img][/url] Little is known about the game itself (I did not even found the ROM dump) and the chip. According to [url=https://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru/dumping_2009.php]cah4e3[/url], this chip is also used with many more Kaiser games, especially the [i]Almana no Kiseki, KS7017[/i], which is [url=http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/NES_2.0_Mapper_303]Mapper 303[/url]. Because of difference of those mappers, I can predict that the connections are quite different and the KS7017 might also use additional chips. Anyway, I am not able to anticipate the pinout in 100%. Probably address mask can extend to almost every address bit, except: A1, A8. I also have no idea what chip should be in the unpopulated place (probably some DIP14 74xx) nor when the second unpopulated ROM should be enabled. And no idea how the CPU R/W signal goes to this chip [code] .--\/--. M2 -> |01 28| -- VCC CPU A12 -> |02 27| <- CPU A0 CPU A2 -> |03 26| -- nc ? CPU A3 -> |04 25| -- nc ? CPU A4 -> |05 24| -- nc ? CPU A5 -> |06 23| -- nc ? CPU A6 -> |07 22| -- nc ? CPU A7 -> |08 21| -- nc ? ? WRAM /CS <- |09 20| -- nc ? ? CPU A11 -> |10 19| -- nc ? ? PRG A15 <- |11 18| <- GND (unknown input signal) ? CPU A9 -> |12 17| <- /ROMSEL ? CPU A10 -> |13 16| <- CPU A14 GND -- |14 15| <- CPU A13 '------' KS-201 Zanac uses the following addresses to switch PRG bank: fedcba9876543210 E0E0 1110000011100000 EE36 1110111000110110 [/code] [url=https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/5179935900_1572769874.png][img]https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/5179935900_1572769874_thumb.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2410542800_1572769932.jpg][img]https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2410542800_1572769932_thumb.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2410542800_1572769932.jpg][img]https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2410542800_1572769932_thumb.jpg[/img][/url]
