$E0-$EF:0000-FFFF will always return (AAA << 20) | (addr & 0x0FFFFF)
NOTE: I need to research this further, but this seems to prove accurate thus far.

            0 = Game pak ROM area
        AAA = ROM area select
When B is set, accessing an address in $A0-BF:8000-FFFF will return (AAA << 20) | (addr & 0x0F7FFF).
If B is not set accessing an address in $A0-BF:8000-FFFF will return  (addr & 0x6f7fff)
