iNES Mapper 227 denotes an address-latch-based multicart circuit board (PCB code 810449-C-A1 among others) mounting 1 MiB of PRG-ROM plus 8 KiB of unbanked CHR-RAM.
A variant used by Chinese RPGs from Nanjing, Waixing (PCB code FW-01) and Yancheng adds 8 KiB battery-backed WRAM and does not implement the UNROM-like bankswitching modes.
Other PCB that use this mapper :
- N120-72 : 1992 Contra 120 in 1 multicart.
Nestopia Plus! has defined submappers 0 and 1, submapper 0 denoting that CHR-RAM is not write-protected in NROM modes (for use with Chinese RPGs), submapper 1 denoting that CHR-RAM is write-protected in NROM modes (for use with multicarts).

- On multicart PCBs (no battery or submapper 1), CHR-RAM is write-protected when O=1 and write-enabled when O=0, i.e. write-protected in the NROM-128 and NROM-256 modes.
- When the m bit is set, PRG A3-A0 are replaced with the values of four solder pads, which when the menu code reads particular ROM locations effectively selects one of up to sixteen menus with different game counts.
- Because all bits are cleared on reset, both CPU $8000-$BFFF and $C000-$FFFF are set to 16 KiB bank #0 on reset.
Similar mappers
- INES Mapper 242 is a variant with only up to 512 KiB PRG-ROM that moves the m bit to a different bit location. A variant with two PRG-ROM chips exists as well.
- NES 2.0 Mapper 375 is a variant with up to 2 MiB PRG-ROM that allows the UNROM-like switchable bank to be changed via a data latch.
- NES 2.0 Mapper 380 is an incompatible variant with similar functionality.
- NES 2.0 Mapper 449 is an incompatible variant that adds 32 KiB CHR-RAM bankswitching functionality.
