The generic designation FxROM refers to cartridge boards made by Nintendo that use the Nintendo MMC4 mapper.
Board Types
The following FxROM boards are known to exist:
| Board | PRG ROM | PRG RAM | CHR |
|---|---|---|---|
| FJROM | 128 / 256 KB | 8 KB | 16 / 32 / 64 KB ROM |
| FKROM | 128 / 256 KB | 8 KB | 128 KB ROM |
Overview
- PRG ROM size: up to 256 KB
- PRG ROM bank size: 16 KB
- PRG RAM: 8 KB plus optional battery
- CHR capacity: up to 128 KB ROM
- CHR bank size: 4 KB
- Nametable mirroring: Controlled by mapper

Solder Pad config
Battery backup
- PRG RAM with data retention : 'SL' disconnected, D1, D2, R1, R2, R3 present.
- PRG RAM without data retention : 'SL' connected, D1, D2, R1, R2, R3 not present.
On the FKROM board, battery backup appears to be compulsary unless there is a hidden solder pad below the MM1026 chip.
Hardware
The FKROM board uses a Mitsumi MM1026 chip dedicated to safe battery backup. It's the only Nintendo board to use a specific chip dedicated to safe battery backup.
