 The standard Game Boy cartridge with no MBC has a fixed 32K bytes of ROM. In order to make cartridges with larger ROM sizes (to store more code and graphics) MBCs can be used. They allow switching between multiple ROM banks that use the same memory region. Only one of the banks can be selected as active at a given time, while all the other banks are inactive (and so, inaccessible).
 
 
-## Unbanked cartridges
-Cartridges with no MBC controller are unbanked, they have 32K bytes of fixed ROM space and no switchable banks. For these cartridges the ROM space between `0000h and 7FFFh` can be treated as a single large bank of 32K bytes, or as two contiguous banks of 16K bytes in Bank 0 at `0000h - 3FFFh` and Bank 1 at `4000h to 7FFFh`.

 Cartridges with MBCs allow the the Game Boy to work with ROMS up to 8MB in size and with RAM up to 128kB. Each bank is 16K Bytes.
-  - Bank 0 of the ROM is located in the region at `0000h - 3FFFh`. It is _usually_ fixed (unbanked) and cannot be switched out for another bank.

   - The higher region at `4000h to 7FFFh` is used for switching between different ROM banks.
