iNES Mapper 227 denotes an address-latch-based multicart circuit board (PCB code 810449-C-A1 among others) mounting 1 MiB of PRG-ROM plus 8 KiB of unbanked CHR-RAM.
A variant used by Chinese RPGs from Nanjing, Waixing (PCB code FW-01) and Yancheng adds 8 KiB battery-backed WRAM and does not implement the UNROM-like bankswitching modes.
