Hmmm. I remember a cracked version of Maze of Galious using this method.

It is not difficult to make. But .... If you want to use a ML loader, then you
should patch the blocks in order to set the right HL, DE, BC values of the LDIR
(and the right page of mapper, of course) !!
I mean re-arranging part of the mapping routines!
MB> Can anyone help me with this?
Hmmm. I have a better idea. What about pasting all the blocks for making a
whole 128K file with a .COM loader? It's faster than using 24KB blocks ;-)
BTW, you must try Trunk's LOADROM.COM !
It's a great program that LOAD any plain (not patched) .ROM file!
It works fine with most of known MegaROMs you can find in FTPs.
Salidos, digo ... Saludos.
