PowerPak emulates mappers used in NES games, but not always perfectly.

Fixed in Mappers V1.11

 iNES 4 - MMC3 - fixed bad irq
 iNES 9 - MMC2 - fixed bad chr switch
 iNES 64 - Rambo 1 - mostly fixed bad irq
 iNES 119 - TQROM (MMC3 + 74HC32) - fixed bad chr switch

iNES 3 - CNROM and clones - limited CHR size

CNROM supports up to four banks (32 KiB) of CHR ROM. PowerPak uses the bank number mod 4. This breaks Panesian games that use a compatible board that supports larger CHR ROMs but is otherwise functionally identical to CNROM.

iNES 4 - MMC3 - no wram disable

Low G Man needs wram disabled, but until iNES 2.0 is finalized there is no way to specify 0KB wram in the iNES header.

iNES 5 - MMC5 - known bad

Games will not start, mapper not complete yet.

iNES 71 - Camerica

Micro Machines has major graphics problems, could be FPGA pins are wrong.

Fire Hawk and Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy show the same problem.

Many of these are very likely bad roms.
