Famicom expansion port controllers support

This repo contains patches to add Famicom Expansion port controllers compatibility.

https://github.com/darthcloud/famicom-exp-patches

These patches are for headered iNES ROM.

Support for internal controllers is maintained in most case.

Games that loose internal controllers support

  • Battletoads
  • Snake Rattle n Roll
  • Terminator 2

The original poll function is quite optimized already and the bank in which the poll function is located do not have obvious empty space to allow relocation/split of the poll function.

Alternation version w/ FC exp support

Some version of those games do support controller on the Famicom expansion port:

  • Link no Bouken – The Legend of Zelda 2 (Japan) (FDS)
  • Paperboy (Japan) (FC)
  • Pinball (Japan) (FDS)
  • Pinball (Europe) (NES)
  • RoboCop 2 (Japan) (FC)
  • Star Force (Japan) (FC)
  • Terminator 2 (Japan) (FC)
  • Yume Koujou – Doki Doki Panic (Japan) (FDS)
