The generic designation JxROM refers to cartridge boards made by Nintendo of Europe that use the Sunsoft FME-7 mapper IC. These boards are the European counterpart to boards manufactured by Sunsoft that used the FME-7, including several Famicom boards and the North American NES-BTR. The iNES format assigns Mapper 69 to JxROM.

Nintendo manufactured these JxROM boards for the European market:
