Here's me tracking down each game based on CRC and/or SHA1 in Nestopia's
NstDatabase.xml (warning: takes a long time to load+parse) to see if there are overrides:
Don Doko Don 2 (J).nes -- mapper 33 in file -- A7B0536C / 67C5BC4D8B1A4474A027A3B111E186EF816F88DE --

You can disable Nestopia using its own database (to force things like this) via Options --> Database --> uncheck Internal.
I'll modify the NES header in all of the above to use mapper 48 instead of 33 and re-test.
I didn't test Jetsons, The - Cogswell's Caper! (J).nes (either before or now), but here it is anyway:
Jetsons, The - Cogswell's Caper! (J).nes -- mapper 33 in file -- 1500E835 / 127B2C71AB249ECC197F7F88CEFC1FDE2EC7F2CE --
https://github.com/rdanbrook/nestopia/b ... .xml#L2182 -- forces mapper 48, 128KB PRG, 256KB CHR
I'll also try to see if a newer GoodNES/GoodTools suite updates these (to mapper 48). The ROM set I have was built off a GoodNES set from 2008-03-14 (the latest is 2014-04-24).
Edit: it looks like most of these got changed/fixed in a newer GoodNES suite (ignore the "weird" filename extensions -- just how the dang thing works):
Code:
iNES Header Fixes - [---M----] -> Don Doko Don 2 (J).nes.new.nes
iNES Header Fixes - [---M----] -> Bubble Bobble 2 (J).nes.new.nes
iNES Header Fixes - [---M----] -> Captain Saver (J).nes.new.nes
iNES Header Fixes - [---M----] -> Flintstones, The - The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy (J).nes.new.nes
iNES Header Fixes - [---M----] -> Jetsons, The - Cogswell's Caper! (J).nes.new.nes
The
M indicates the mapper # has been changed. (And god these tools are a nightmare, I now remember why I don't like dealing with them; oh hey you have dupes, except you really don't, because the "duplicates" are actually the ones with the fixed headers, so yeah... wonderful set of tools with a horrid arguments and confusing behaviour).
