+<h3 id="snesout">SNES ROM File Output Format</h3>
+
+<p>
+Generates a ROM file for a SNES emulator or hardware.  Note that large ROM
+sizes have not been extensively checked and verified.
+</p>
+
+<p>If a single bank was used during the assembly then a simple 32K ROM is
+assumed, and an error will be shown if the addresses used fall outside the range
+0x150 to 0x7fff. </p>
+
+<p>Similarly if multiple banks are used then it is assumed that the first bank
+is only used in the range 0x150 to 0x3fff, and subsequent banks in the range
+0x4000 to 0x7fff.  This is to fit in with the method the Gameboy uses to page
+memory banks into the upper 16K portion of the normal 32K ROM address space.
+</p>
+
+<p>By default the output driver will try and fill in the ROM size and type in
+the header properly, but these can be overridden using settings.</p>
+
+<h4>SNES ROM Output Format options</h4>
+
+<p>The SNES output driver supports the following settings that can be set via
+an <b>option</b> command.

+Defines the memory mapping used for this cartridge.  A detailed explanation
+is beyond this document, but note that when lorom is used then just the upper
+32K of each bank is used to generate the ROM.  This is to make life easier,
+as the real physical mapping would make the lower 32K of a ROM bank 
+mapped into the upper 32K address space.  This way no hoops have to be jumped
+through.
