I forgot I hadn't posted this here, but possibly of interest to some people. I made a table of all the NES mappers and what FPGA systems have implemented each one, MiSTer being on here along with NT Mini, Noir, N8s, Power Pak.
I think it is up to date, but if any recent ones are missed can be added. If anyone would like to help maintain it then request access or ping me your email address.
So following on from a discussion on the discord, in order for the NES core to have support for the Famicom Datach add-on (a barcode reader with supported games) Mapper 157 would need added.
This would allow the games to be played, but an additional solution is needed in order to load the barcodes during play.

Thanks!
mapper 189 in mister should be changed to "yes"
I'm not sure if the thunder warrior works
but i just played a (pirate) game using mapper 189 just now
(It is also marked as available https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NES_MiSTer)

Thanks, have updated so 189 is a YES for MiSTer. If you would like access to help keep it up to date I would welcome the help!
"Nt Nini JB Support" - I may be missing something obvious, but it's for mappers on the original NT Mini that is Jailbroken
I've tried both the romhack translation as well as the original Japanese rom from the "No Intro" set. Both of them show garbled graphics on the screen. It seems the games uses the namco 206 mapper so maybe it isn't fully implemented yet.

@CRM, you need to use the rom from INes 2.0 to work correctly.
I don't know if the translated rom existed on INes 2.0 but the japanese one is ok on my side.

@wark91 Thanks a lot! I'll see if I can add or convert the hacked rom to an ines 2.0 headered rom.

I would like to request mapper 227. It can be used to play a Bio Hazard(resident evil) hack. That would be cool. Thanks.

Consolidating some info for Mapper 227 here in case anyone finds it useful:
I wanted to give a big thanks for making Action 52 run. No, it's not sarcasm. That collection is not just bad, it's The Room-grade bad. So bad it's cute.

What game are you trying to run? This mapper is for only one Chinese translation, so if it's not that one your ROM may have an incorrect header.

Tenchi o Kurau II: Shokatsu Koumei Den Chinese version, this game is the Chinese version of most Chinese players’ favorite NES RPG game, using mapper198

Out of interest, are there any other Chinese games you know are popular but aren't supported or you would like to play but can't? We don't seem to have many Chinese MiSTer users on the board, so there isn't much insight into what Chinese language games are popular that may not be supported.

Mapper 52 please! I want to play the legendary Mario 7 in 1, authentically. Its the 7 grand dad bootleg.
For a bit of historical curiosity, I'd like to bring attention to Mapper 534. The reason is that supporting this mapper would technically bring support for yet another console to MiSTer: the original Atari Flashback console. Unlike all other Flashback consoles which either emulate Atari 2600 or, in the case of Atari Flashback 2, recreate its hardware, Atari Flashback 1 is a NES-on-a-chip console with all Atari games remade from scratch for Famicom-like hardware. The extracted system rom from this console can be played on NES emulators which support Mapper 534. Those game recreations are not necessary good, but they are among the most unusual aftermarket games for the platform.

@MostroW the link you provided to your little prog no longer works! Can you please update?
Thank you
It doesn't seem to be supported by any emulators that I can see.

In this thread from https://forums.nesdev.org/viewtopic.php?t=2139 post #3 Memblers mentions he requested kevtris reserve mapper 124 for squeedo. I'm assuming "Super Game Mega Type III" is just another cart that uses the squeedo pcb and mapper?
I'm requesting this mapper because I was hoping to dump the rom from this custom cartridge named MIDINES and use it with the MiSTer. I have a USB CopyNES and the Open Source Cartridge Reader and I've had limited success dumping the rom so far and neither program support this mapper. I found the mapper text file on Memblers site https://membler-industries.com/squeedo/2004_version/
Is there a specific file format for NES mappers? Can this be used to add this mapper to the core? Is this even a mapper file?
