Standard pinout PRG ROM - 16k / 32kB / 64kBytes (28pin)

This is the pinout Nintendo used for their PRGROMs, and it is compatible with EPROMs. For some unknown reasons, it was apparently required that unused adress lines on smaller ROMs were put to +5V, as Nintendo made different boards for each size (as opposed to place EPROMs of different sizes into the same slot). Some boards, such as CNROM, features solder pads in order to force those pins to +5V though.

Nintendo pinout PRG ROM - 128/256/512KBytes (28/32pin)

This is the pinout Nintendo used for most of their boards. It differs with standard EPROMs, and only have one enable line. This system allows for multiple sizes of ROMs on the same board. 128 KB ROMs are only 28 pins, they are shuffled 2 pins down, starting from pin 3 to pin 30.

On boards where A18 is never used, pin 2 is connected with pin 22.

Nintendo AOROM PRG ROM pinout - 128/256/KBytes (32pin)

Slight variant of the pinout above, where an additional enable line is used to prevent bus conflicts.

CHR ROM - 8/16/32/64 KBytes (28pin)

This pinout is compatible with standard EPROMs, and is the same as for PRG ROM pinouts. However this time, unused address lines doesn't have to be put to +5V, and will be either NC (not connected) or +5V on boards where they are never used (where the mapper doesn't support larger ROMs)

CHR ROM - 128/256 KBytes (32pin)

This is the pinout Nintendo used for most of their boards. It differs with standard EPROMs, and with the Nintendo's PRG ROMs pinout. This system allows for multiple sizes of ROMs on the same board. Adress lines which are always unused on a board are put to +5V.

Nintendo MMC5 PRG/CHR ROM pinouts - 128/256/512/1024 kBytes (32pin)

Slight variant of the pinout just above for MMC5 boards which supports up to 1MB of data. Both PRG and CHR ROMs are the same pinout, and even 128 KB PRG ROMs are 32-pin so they can have a VCC pin.

Standard pinout - 128/256/512/1024 kBytes (32 pin)

This is the standard JEDEC pinouts for larger EPROMs. All known non-Nintendo made boards use those. In order to use a random EPROM in a Nintendo made board that uses ROMs of a size 128 KB or larger, it's necessary to compare this pinout and the pinout your board uses, and to cut traces/add wires to compensate for the differences. The name in parenthesis is for when the adress is unused (for smaller EPROMs).
