I started disassembling the Tennokoe Bank some days ago. I put all the files [there].
There are a lot of "weird" stuffs. The first on I encountered is in the code for reading joypad state.
$260b contains the current pad state.
$260d contains the previous pad state.
$260e seems to contains the diff between those two (($260b eor $260d) and $260b) but I'm not sure about it.
The "weird" part is about $260e. It's ORed with current pad state ($260d)... Why?
The code from line 42 to 47 as long as the code following the call to l_e3d1 in the reset irq are cryptic... But in the case of the tennokoe bank, it's never executed. It only looks for 1 pad so $260f is equals 0. But who knows, maybe it's changed somewhere else.
Another funny stuffs. You can find NEUTOPIA (file offset: $8816), BOMBERMAN, COBRA, as long as other game names in the rom... Maybe it's the saved data stored on the card when it was dumped

You can also find some infos in the rom. For example :
Code: Select all

Enough stalking, I had to find the BRAM to Tennokoe bank transfer routines
