The designation PxROM covers all boards that use the Nintendo MMC2 mapper. The iNES format assigns mapper 9 to these boards.

The following PxROM boards are known to exist:

Notes

The PEEOROM board is used in the re-issue of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. Unlike PNROM, and unlike most other boards used in NES Game Paks sold to the public, it can be configured to support EPROM memory through jumpers on the board.
