Splatterhouse - mapper 19, not one that was used in any USA game. Would have to find the Famicom game or one that uses the same board, then get a 60->72 pin converter.

Karateka - just an NROM game, can either use a very common USA board or get the ReproPak at www.retrousb.com Doing an advanced search for mapper 0 at bootgod's awesome site will show you which donor games you can use.

I'm thinking you should sell 60 to 72 pin converters with a space for a CICLONE.  I know the female connector part would be hard to find or expensivet, but I would suspect a person could still bridge-solder one PCB to the next.   It would just be a bare PCB.    I have no talent with Gerber files so it's beyond me to do.

NES can only access 32KB of code and 8KB of graphics at a time, so the mapper (chips on the cart board) will swap in different chunks. The mappers are the reason a NES flash cart is very hard, there are 30+ different mapper chips in the USA set alone. Including NES/Famicom/pirates it is 180+. As a comparison Atari has ~8 and SNES has ~4.



NROM means there is no mapper chip, the game has only 8KB of graphics and 16KB or 32KB of code.

Finding a usable Famicom donor would be quite difficult as well, mapper 19 was only used by Namcot, and they loved to use epoxy boards. I've only come across a couple that used normal ROMs that would be replaceable.
