The term '''mapper''' may refer to three separate things, all of which relate to the ''mapping'', or translation, of the graphical (CHR) and program (PRG) [[ROM]]s or RAMs and [[nametable]]s into the [[CPU memory map|CPU's]] and [[PPU memory map|PPU's address spaces]]:
NES games come in cartridges, and inside of those cartridges are various circuits and hardware. Different games use different circuits and hardware, and the configuration and capabilities of such cartridges is commonly called their '''mapper'''.  Mappers are designed to extend the system and bypass its limitations, such as by adding RAM to the cartridge or even extra sound channels. More commonly though, mappers are designed to allow games larger than 40K to be made.
*The circuitry that effects the connections between the Game Pak's PRG- and CHR-ROMs/RAMs and the NES Control Deck, whether it holds additional [[Wikipedia:integrated circuits|ICs]] to do so or not.
*An [[Wikipedia:ASIC|ASIC]] that handles the primary load of this task.
*The description that emulators use for a particular combination of circuitry and hardware on the game pak doing this and other tasks.


The hardware and circuitry on a cartridge's [[wikipedia:printed circuit board|printed circuit board]] perform several functions:
The term "mapper" arises from the concept of memory mapping: translating memory hardware into the [[CPU memory map|CPU's]] and [[PPU memory map|PPU's address spaces]]. A memory map describes which addresses correspond to which physical locations of memory.
*The above-explained mapping of the CHR and PRG chips into the NES's address space, which may be expanded by…
 
**(often) Bank switching: dynamically changing the mapping of cartridge ROM and RAM chips into CPU/PPU address spaces. By doing so, the cartridge may have more data than the address space would allow.
== Common capabilities ==
**(often) Using a battery-backed volatile RAM chip, or rarely an [[wikipedia:EEPROM|EEPROM]], to maintain data between play sessions
 
*(always) [[Mirroring]]: controlling which way the nametables are arranged, as the NES only has two nametables' worth of CIRAM but four tables addressed.

Most mappers fall into one of two categories: discrete logic, and ASIC based. Some discrete logic mappers are susceptible to bus conflicts.  Nintendo uses the term '''Memory Management Controller''' (or '''MMC''' for short) for its ASIC mappers ("Why Game Paks Never Forget" article in ''Nintendo Power'') (note: it may have originally stood for "Multi Memory Controller", at least according to Japanese).

== Naming scheme ==


Discrete logic mappers are often referred to by the name of a board that they are commonly used in (e.g. "UNROM").
Discrete logic mappers are often referred to by the name of a board that they are commonly used in (e.g. "UNROM").
ASIC mappers are named after the ASIC (e.g. "MMC1" or "FME-7"), except in boards that use an ASIC in an unusual way (such as "TQROM", "TLSROM", or "NES-EVENT").
ASIC mappers are named after the ASIC (e.g. "MMC1" or "FME-7"), except in boards that use an ASIC in an unusual way (such as "TQROM", "TLSROM", or "NES-EVENT").
The emulation community generally refers to mappers by a numbering scheme that originated with the [[iNES]] emulator (e.g. "mapper 002").
The emulation community generally refers to mappers by a numbering scheme that originated with the [[iNES]] emulator (e.g. "mapper 002").
Some mappers that were assigned the same iNES number later received a [[submapper]] designation in [[NES 2.0]] to disambiguate their differences.

To allocate a mapper number, you should have A. a hardware implementation or B. an emulator implementation and a sketch of hardware. You should also have a publicly-available dump of an existing commercial cart or most of a homebrew game written.

== Common mappers for homebrewers ==
*[[NROM]]: About the simplest mapper there is; 32K PRG and 8K CHR. Most beginners start with this.
*[[UxROM]], [[BxROM]]: CHR RAM plus PRG bank switching. These are simple and cheap cartridge boards that hold far more memory than NROM.
*[[MMC1]], [[MMC3]]: These mappers provide finely grained bank switching and features such as scanline counters. Their design involves an ASIC, which makes them more complicated and expensive than other mappers.

NES games come in cartridges, and inside of those cartridges are various circuits and hardware. Different games use different circuits and hardware, and the configuration and capabilities of such cartridges is commonly called their mapper. Mappers are designed to extend the system and bypass its limitations, such as by adding RAM to the cartridge or even extra sound channels. More commonly though, mappers are designed to allow games larger than 40K to be made.

The term "mapper" arises from the concept of memory mapping: translating memory hardware into the CPU's and PPU's address spaces. A memory map describes which addresses correspond to which physical locations of memory.

Common capabilities

Multiple functions can be performed by the hardware and circuitry on a cartridge's printed circuit board:

  • Mapping of the CHR and PRG chips into the NES's address space, which may be expanded by…
    • (often) Bank switching: dynamically changing the memory mapping of cartridge memory into the NES's address spaces. By doing so, the cartridge may have more data than the address space would allow, allowing larger games to be made.
    • (often) Using a battery-backed volatile RAM chip, or rarely an EEPROM, to maintain save data between play sessions
  • (always) Nametable Mirroring: controlling which way the nametables are arranged, as the NES only has two nametables' worth of CIRAM but four tables addressed.
    • (rarely) Providing cartridge-side CHR-RAM or ROM to supplement or replace the nametable CIRAM (4-Screen mirroring).
  • (commonly) Generating interrupts, especially ones timed to occur when the PPU reaches a certain scanlines.
  • (rarely) Providing additional sound-generation. The Famicom sent its audio through the cartridge port to allow the cartridge to mix in additional channels; the NES does not without modification.
  • (rarely) Altering how the attribute table is mapped to provide finer attribute control.
  • (rarely) Other sundry functions like fast multiplication.

Most mappers fall into one of two categories: discrete logic, and ASIC based. Some discrete logic mappers are susceptible to bus conflicts. Nintendo uses the term Memory Management Controller (or MMC for short) for its ASIC mappers ("Why Game Paks Never Forget" article in Nintendo Power) (note: it may have originally stood for "Multi Memory Controller", at least according to Japanese), while Konami's ASIC mappers use the name Virtual ROM Controller (or VRC).

Naming scheme

Discrete logic mappers are often referred to by the name of a board that they are commonly used in (e.g. "UNROM"). ASIC mappers are named after the ASIC (e.g. "MMC1" or "FME-7"), except in boards that use an ASIC in an unusual way (such as "TQROM", "TLSROM", or "NES-EVENT"). The emulation community generally refers to mappers by a numbering scheme that originated with the iNES emulator (e.g. "mapper 002"). Some mappers that were assigned the same iNES number later received a submapper designation in NES 2.0 to disambiguate their differences.

The notation used in Disch's docs describing mappers is explained here.

To allocate a mapper number, you should have A. a hardware implementation or B. an emulator implementation and a sketch of hardware. You should also have a publicly-available dump of an existing commercial cart or most of a homebrew game written.

Most icons next to mapper numbers refer to publishers. Nintendo-made boards with numerous publishers get the Nintendo icon; Nintendo-made boards dominated by one publisher get that publisher's icon. Other icons refer to status:

  • Mfr icon Bad.png Duplicate mappers assigned by mistake.
  • Mfr icon tools.png Mappers reserved for use by tools, such as emulator internal use or private use during development of a new mapper.
  • Mfr icon homebrew.png Mappers created by the NES homebrew scene for cart releases.
  • Mfr icon Pirate MMC3.png Mappers for MMC3-based bootleg cartridges, both single-game and multicart.
  • Mfr icon pirate.png Mappers for non-MMC3-based bootleg cartridges, both single-game and multicart.
  • Mfr icon Generic.png Mappers for which we have some information but no identified manufacturer.
  • Mfr icon Missing.png Mappers that are not yet documented on this wiki. Do not assume undocumented mappers are currently unassigned; consult the source code for well-used emulators like Nestopia, FCEUX, Mesen, Nintendulator and NintendulatorNRS

Common mappers for homebrewers

  • NROM: About the simplest mapper there is; 32K PRG and 8K CHR. Most beginners start with this.
  • UxROM, BxROM: CHR RAM plus PRG bank switching. These are simple and cheap cartridge boards that hold far more memory than NROM.
  • MMC1, MMC3: These mappers provide finely grained bank switching and features such as scanline counters. Their design involves an ASIC, which makes them more complicated and expensive than other mappers.
