Rare discrete logic
You probably don't actually want to use these, especially not #78.

† Mappers 89, 93, and 184 exist as a single IC, however their functions are trivially described using a small number of 7400-series ICs, and likely contain multiple silicon dice that were wire bonded together in the same package.
‡ Mapper 93 is technically the same 89 other than mirroring, but it only commercially existed using 8kB of CHR-RAM
