== Overview ==
* PRG ROM size: 128, 256 or 512 KB (DIP-28/32 Nintendo pinout)
* PRG ROM bank size: 8 KB
* PRG RAM: None
* CHR capacity: 32 or 64 KB ROM (DIP-28 standard pinout)
* CHR bank size: 1 KB and 2 KB
* Nametable [[mirroring]]: Solder pads select horizontal, vertical or controlled by mapper.
* Subject to [[bus conflict]]s: No
 
== Solder pad configuration ==
* Normal mode : 'CL1' connected, 'H' disconnected, 'V' disconnected, 'CL2' connected.
* [[DEROM]] backward compatibility mode with Horizontal mirroring : 'CL1' disconnected, 'H' disconnected, 'V' connected, 'CL2' disconnected.
* DEROM backward compatibility mode with Vertical mirroring : 'CL1' disconnected, 'H' connected, 'V' disconnected, 'CL2' disconnected.
 
Note : In DEROM backward compatibility mode, mirroring is hardwired and IRQs are disabled. However, the additional bank switching modes available by the MMC3 that weren't available with the MIMIC-1 chip used on DEROM boards are still present.
 
Connecting 'CL1' enables MMC3-controlled mirroring, while connecting 'CL2' enables IRQs.
