The generic designation DxROM refers to cartridge boards made by Nintendo that use the seemingly-identical Namco 108, 109, 118 or 119 mappers. Nintendo did not manufacture the Famicom counterparts. The iNES format assigns Mapper 206 to DxROM.
The following DxROM boards are known to exist:
Board | PRG ROM | CHR ROM | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
DEROM | 64 KiB | 32,64 KiB ROM | Nintendo's clone of Tengen's 800002 |
DE1ROM | 128 KiB | 64 KiB | Nintendo's clone of Tengen's 800030 |
DRROM | 128 KiB | 64 KiB | Nintendo's clone of Tengen's 800004, with four-screen mirroring. |
Tengen initially tried to get around Nintendo's publication restrictions by manufacturing all parts of the games themselves. They were eventually prohibited from continuing, but Nintendo only re-released a subset of all the games that Tengen brought to the US.
Namco published a wide number of differently-numbered Famicom counterparts. Some of them have significantly different behavior and have had their own mappers allocated.

3405, 3415 | 128 KiB | 32 KiB |
