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.

† 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.
Non-standard CHR banking:
- NINA-001 has 1 bit for 32 PRG and 8 bits for 4+4 CHR banking
- 77 has 4 bits for 2+6RAM 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
Exceptions:
