+GB Mapping Info (by skaman)
+Entries start at 0x0 divided into 3 Byte segments
+
+For example, let's look at the start of the mapping for a multi-game cart:
+A8 00 00 71 04 00 48 94 04 separates into
+A8 00 00 MENU
+71 04 00 GAME 1
+48 94 04 GAME 2
+
+Byte 00 of each entry contains the MBC Type, ROM Size, and SRAM Size (start).
+SRAM Size is 3 bits across Byte 00 and Byte 01.
+ MBC SZE SRAM
+A8 = 101 010 00 0 MBC5, size 2 = 128KB
+71 = 011 100 01 0 MBC3, size 4 = 512KB, SRAM 8KB
+48 = 010 010 00 1 MBC2, size 2 = 128KB, SRAM MBC2
+
+Byte 00: 1st 3 Bits = MBC Type
+ 000 = MBC0
+ 001 = MBC1
+ 010 = MBC2
+ 011 = MBC3
+ 101 = MBC5
+
+Byte 00: 2nd 3 Bits = ROM Size (minimum size is 128KB due to block size)
+ 010 = Size 2 - 128KB
+ 011 = Size 3 - 256KB
+ 100 = Size 4 - 512KB
+ 101 = Size 5 - 1MB
+
+Byte 00: Last 2 Bits (bit1..bit0) + Byte 01: 1st Bit (bit7) = SRAM Size
+ 00 0 = NONE
+ 00 1 = SRAM MBC2
+ 01 0 = SRAM 8KB
+ 01 1 = SRAM 32KB
+
+Byte 01 contains the SRAM Size (end) and ROM Block in the Flash.
+ROM Blocks are 128KB (8 total)
+Byte 01: Last 7 Bits (bit6..bit0) = ROM Block
+ 00 = ROM Block 0 start offset 0KB
+ 04 = ROM Block 1 start offset 128KB
+ 08 = ROM Block 2 start offset 256KB
+ 0C = ROM Block 3 start offset 384KB
+ 10 = ROM Block 4 start offset 512KB
+ 14 = ROM Block 5 start offset 640KB
+ 18 = ROM Block 6 start offset 768KB
+ 1C = ROM Block 7 start offset 896KB
+
+Byte 02 contains the RAM Block in the SRAM.
+RAM Blocks are 8KB (16 total)
+Byte 02: RAM Block:
+ 00 = RAM Block 0 start offset 0KB
+ 04 = RAM Block 1 start offset 8KB
+ 08 = RAM Block 2 start offset 16KB
+ 0C = RAM Block 3 start offset 24KB
+ and so on until RAM Block 15.
+
+Going back to our example cart:
+A8 00 00 MENU: MBC5, size 2 = 128KB, ROM Block 0, RAM Block 0 (Ignored since SRAM is 000)
+71 04 00 GAME 1: MBC3, size 4 = 512KB, SRAM 8KB, ROM Block 1, RAM Block 0
+48 94 04 GAME 2: MBC2, size 2 = 128KB, SRAM MBC2, ROM Block 5, RAM Block 1
