If anything, newer famiclones are incapable of running specific mappers, most notably MMC5. Old Famiclones were hardware clones so their compatibility was nearly perfect. What was true, however, is that the bootleggers had a hard time duplicating later mappers, so they often had to perform 'mapper hacks' to make them work on their own solutions, and some of them only work on clone consoles. They have hacked SMB2J (an FDS title) and Mr. Gimmick (an FME-7 title), which was hacked into 'Pipe V'.
