This article compares the capabilities of several Nintendo mappers.

Discrete logic

All of Nintendo's discrete logic mappers have bus conflicts except some revisions of 7.

iNES Chips Boards Max PRG PRG banks Max CHR CHR banks Mirroring PRG RAM? IRQ
0 0 NROM 32 8 V/H hardwired Rare None
2 2 UNROM, UOROM 256 16 + 16F 8 V/H hardwired No None
3 1 CNROM 32 32 8 V/H hardwired No None
7 1-2 AxROM 256 32 8 1 No None
13 1 CPROM (U) 32 16 4 + 4F V/H hardwired No None
34 1 BNROM 256 32 8 V/H hardwired No None
66 1 GNROM, MHROM 128 32 32 8 V/H hardwired No None
180 2 UNROM 256 16F + 16 8 V/H hardwired No None

ASIC

None of these ASIC mappers has bus conflicts.
