*** CRT - CaRTridge Images (from the CCS64 emulator) *** Document revision: 1.13 *** Last updated: June 12, 2007 *** Compiler/Editor: Peter Schepers *** Contributors/sources: Per Hakan Sundell, Markus Brenner Marco Van Den Heuvel Cartridge files were introduced in the CCS64 emulator, written by Per Hakan Sundell, and use the ".CRT" file extension. This format was created to handle the various ROM cartridges that exist, such as Action Replay, the Power cartridge, and the Final Cartridge. Normal game cartridges can load into several different memory ranges ($8000-9FFF, $A000-BFFF or $E000-FFFF). Newer utility and freezer cartridges were less intrusive, hiding themselves until called upon, and still others used bank-switching techniques to allow much larger ROM's than normal. Because of these "stealthing" and bank-switching methods, a special cartridge format was necessary, to let the emulator know where the cartridge should reside, the control line states to enable it and any special hardware features it uses. Here is a dump of a sample 8K normal cartridge, "Attack Of The Mutant Camels"... 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ASCII ----------------------------------------------- ---------------- 0000: 43 36 34 20 43 41 52 54 52 49 44 47 45 20 20 20 C64CARTRIDGE 0010: 00 00 00 40 01 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 @ 0020: 41 54 54 41 43 4B 20 4F 46 20 54 48 45 20 4D 55 ATTACKOFTHEMU 0030: 54 41 4E 54 20 43 41 4D 45 4C 53 00 00 00 00 00 TANTCAMELS 0040: 43 48 49 50 00 00 20 10 00 00 00 00 80 00 20 00 CHIP 0050: D3 9B BC FE C3 C2 CD 38 30 EA EA EA A9 01 85 13 ӛ80 0060: 4C B3 9B A9 08 85 5A 88 D0 FD C6 5A D0 F9 60 D0 LZZ` Bytes:$0000-000F - 16-byte cartridge signature "C64 CARTRIDGE" (padded with space characters) 0010-0013 - File header length ($00000040, in high/low format, calculated from offset $0000).

Ultimax cartridges typically are situated in the $E000-FFFF (8K) ROM address range. There are some cartridges which only use 4K of the 8K allocation. If the cartridge is 16K in size, then it will reside in both $8000-9FFF and $E000-FFFF. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cartridge Specifics ------------------- 0 - Normal cartridge Size - 8Kb GAME - active (1) EXROM - inactive (0) Load address - $8000-9FFF 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ASCII ----------------------------------------------- ---------------- 0000: 43 36 34 20 43 41 52 54 52 49 44 47 45 20 20 20 C64CARTRIDGE 0010: 00 00 00 40 01 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 @ 0020: 41 54 54 41 43 4B 20 4F 46 20 54 48 45 20 4D 55 ATTACKOFTHEMU 0030: 54 41 4E 54 20 43 41 4D 45 4C 53 00 00 00 00 00 TANTCAMELS 0040: 43 48 49 50 00 00 20 10 00 00 00 00 80 00 20 00 CHIP 0050: D3 9B BC FE C3 C2 CD 38 30 EA EA EA A9 01 85 13 ӛ80 The second sample below is a dump of "Music Machine", a 4Kb ULTIMAX mode cartridge.

The following bits are used for bank decoding in $DE00 (0 being the LSB, 3 being the MSB). Bit# 76543210 xx210xx3 After copying memory from the ROM banks, the selection program writes a value of $86 to $DE00. This seems either to reset or disable the cartridge ROM. =========================================================================== 8 - Super Games Size - 64Kb (4 banks of 16Kb each) GAME - inactive (0) EXROM - inactive (0) Load address - $8000-BFFF (all modules) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ASCII ----------------------------------------------- ---------------- 0000: 43 36 34 20 43 41 52 54 52 49 44 47 45 20 20 20 C64CARTRIDGE 0010: 00 00 00 40 01 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 @ 0020: 53 55 50 45 52 20 47 41 4D 45 53 00 00 00 00 00 SUPERGAMES 0030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0040: 43 48 49 50 00 00 40 10 00 00 00 00 80 00 40 00 CHIP@@ 0050: 0A 80 0A 80 C3 C2 CD 38 30 00 A9 80 A0 00 85 FB 80 .... 4050: 43 48 49 50 00 00 40 10 00 00 00 01 80 00 40 00 CHIP@@ 4060: 27 80 A8 80 C3 C2 CD 38 30 00 40 C0 40 C0 40 C0 '80@@@ .... 8060: 43 48 49 50 00 00 40 10 00 00 00 02 80 00 40 00 CHIP@@ 8070: 00 00 00 49 4D C7 64 47 46 45 F3 48 DC 08 7E 0B IMdGFEH~ ....

Additionally, ROM normally located at $9E00-$9FFF is mirrored into IO1 and IO2 at $DE00-$DFFF. ROM at $8000-$BFFF is disabled by writing into the IO2 area (typically $DF00) and may be re-enabled by writing into IO1 ($DE00). However, the $DE00-$DFFF (IO1/IO2) area itself always remains mapped to cartridge ROM.
