It appears that all discrete logic mappers either switch 32kB at a time with no fixed bank ("GxROM-like"), or have a 16kB fixed bank and can switch the other ("UxROM-like"). The tables below illustrate the tradeoffs between CHR, PRG, and banking style.

GxROM-like 8kB CHR bank bits
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
32kB PRG bank bits 0 NROM Vs. System CNROM, 87, 101, CPROM oversize CNROM
1 AN1ROM¹ MHROM NINA-03/06
2 ANROM¹, BNROM GNROM, 38 58ʰ, 86, 96†, 174ʰ 11, 36, 57ʰ, 140 oversize 38
3 AOROM¹ 113
4 oversize AxROM¹, 231ʰ oversize GNROM
5 46ʰ
6 226ʰ 228ʰ 62ʰ

8 oversize BNROM


UxROM-like 8kB CHR bank bits
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
16kB PRG bank bits 2 168
3 UNROM, 94, 180 72, 78¹­ʰ, 89¹, 93*, 152¹
4 UOROM 70, 92
5
6 oversize 94
7
8 oversize UxROM, oversize 180


† 4F+4 or 4+4F CHR-RAM banking, not 8 CHR-ROM banking
¹ has mapper-controlled single-screen mirroring
ʰ has mapper-controlled H/V mirroring
* Emulators commonly implement mapper 93 as a plain UNROM variant, not supporting CHR banking. But the hardware does support it.

Exceptions:

  • NINA-001 has 1 bit for 32 PRG and 8 bits for 4+4 CHR banking
  • 77 has 4 bits for 2+6R CHR banking (plus 4 bits for 32 PRG banking)
  • 60, 107, and 201 use the same bits to control both PRG and CHR banks
  • 184 has 5 bits for 4+4 CHR banking
