NES 2.0 Mapper 391 denotes the MMC3-based BS-110 PCB. It is a variation of INES Mapper 052 that adds support for GNROM-like PRG bankswitching. Note that the UNIF MAPR BMC-BS-110 is incorrectly-named and refers to NES 2.0 Mapper 444 instead.

GNROM mode means that:

  • the MMC3's CPU A14 input is held low, so MMC3 registers 6 and 7 apply to both $8000/$A000 and $C000/$E000,
  • in NROM-256 mode, PRG A14 is additionally replaced with CPU A14.

As it uses the MMC3 clones's WRAM interface, writing to the outer bank register requires enabling and not write-protecting WRAM in the MMC's $A001 register.
