In NROM mode, the MMC3 clone's CPU A13 and A14 inputs are held low, so that MMC3 register 6 applies to the entire CPU $8000-$FFFF range, with PRG A13 substituted by CPU A13 and PRG A14 subject to $6001.3.

CNROM register ($6002, write)

Mask: $E003

Contains the 8 KiB CHR-ROM bank if $6000.3=1, masked to 128 or 256 KiB according to $6000.6. Bits 0-1 respond even if the "Lock" bit is set, while changes to bits 2-7 will be ignored if the "Lock" bit has been set.

Unknown Register ($6003, write)

Mask: $E003

MMC3-compatible registers ($8000-$FFFF)
