Simply call the kernal reset routines.

maybe it's faster method? as in action replay then you put $0d to de00, I need access to area $DF00.

Take a look killf3.prg:

SEI
LDA #$F0
STA $DFFF
LDA #$A
STA $DF13
LDA #$1C
STA $DF13
LDA #$22
STA $DF11
JMP ($FFFC)

Also take a look at my write up about different carts including FCIII:

You can't disable the FC3 on the hardware side, you can only remove all the changes it's firmware does on the jump vectors by using the reset routines.

Why write to $df11 and $df13? That's just ROM. $dfff is the only writeable register.

This program as far as I remember has been created for MMC card so it disables df13 is extending banking register of MMC and df11 is a control register of it.

I've just posted the disassembly of it without analyzing it further.

IIRC someone didn't like FC III led staying on when attached to MMC64, that's the whole reason for killfc3's existence.

jsr $ff8a
jsr $ff84
jsr $ff81

should do the trick, or check the kernal code at $fce2 for more

This one restores kernal + basic vectors:

JSR $FF8A
JSR $E453
JSR $E3BF

ehrm. writing $f0 to $dfff does just that. calling the kernal reset routines disables the fastloader - but not the cartridge =P

Just be aware that $ff8a/$fd15 (aka RESTOR) trashes ram at $fd30.
