Key
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 This mapper is "bad": it was used for something other than an actual cartridge. Some are mapper hacks designed for early disk-based copiers. Others are duplicate mappers that were assigned by mistake.
  • Mfr icon Pirate MMC3.png "Pirate MMC3" mappers. Many are used for unauthorized demakes of 16-bit fighting games.
  • Mfr icon pirate.png Mappers used primarily by illegally copied games, usually multicarts, sometimes single-game mapper hacks.
  • Mfr icon homebrew.png Mappers developed by members of the NES homebrew scene for cart releases
  • 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 Nestopia and Nintendulator source code.
