I've been looking around for various mapper information and it seems that existing docs are either severely outdated and incomplete/inaccurate (*cough*firebug's doc*cough*), difficult if not borderline impossible to understand (and also often inaccurate) *cough*goroh's docs*cough*, or information is just lacking all around.
The only mappers that are documented really well are the biggies... MMCx, various discrete mappers. Even on the wiki... it seems documentation is just not there.
Then I turn around and look at all these emus that support hundreds of mappers... and I'm wondering where all that information comes from. The only way I've been able to get various mappers working is by examining other emus' (Nintendulator) sources. There's got to be another way.
Is there a better source for mapper information? Is there an updated version of firebug's doc? sort of like a collection of various mappers rolled into one?
Would something like that be welcome on the wiki? The iNES mapper page lists a few (already well documented) mappers, but those links just say which boards the mapper represents and you have to go elsewhere for information. Would relatively large description pages be welcome on the wiki? I've never really worked with a wiki before but I'd be willing to put some stuff up there. I guess I'm just afraid of screwing it all up =P
