Hello.
1) There has been some flooding attack on the nesdev forum by stupid russian idiots. As a result, the database of forum became broken (some users were accidentally deleted by that). They're working on restoring it.
2) This cartridge is quite interesting. First, because it consists of 2xUNROM + NROM games. Second, because the mapper is inside black epoxy blob (which is rather unusual for UNROM+NROM multicarts). Third, because the 74157 chip is responsible for switching what is wired to PRG-A[3..0] lines (there are some cut traces underneath). As a result, depening on those "hardwired jumpers", game can display one of sixteen different version of menus (the missing 7402 chip could also alter the PRG-A[4] line in same way, which would expand the number of menus from sixteen to thirty two)

3) I analyzed the PCB and the mapper takes use of cpu lines A14, A9..A0 (and only that). So this is simple address-latch mapper. This is again interesting, because UNROM games (like Contra, Side Pocket) need access to CPU-D[2..0]. So they were patched on this multicart to use address bit, instead of data bits.
It would be hard to guess how this mapper works but I managed to analyze CPU writes on each menu entry selection and guessed which bit is responsible for:

4) I think this is mapper 227 in FCEUX (I attach rom with header and schematic of your cartridge)
