MapInfo added support for JPEG2000 in MapInfo 7.0, so you should be able to read these filetypes. The problem can be to get the files orientated. Normally MapInfo requires a tab-fil that will hold the orientation information including the projection. But MapInfo can also create this tab file from a World file (for JPEG200 I think the type is .J2W).
The .ers I suppose is a special ERMapper registration file, that wouldb need a special ERMapper tool to read. Maybe you just need a newer version of MapImagery, if this application does "understand" JPEG200 at all.

It's downloadable in the usual place. I'm not sure how that will translate to opening the .JP2's in MI Pro, though - I haven't looked lately to see if the ECW DLL designed specifically for MapInfo Pro has been updated to handle JPEG2000. The JPEG200/ECW SDK is freely available from ERM but MapInfo Corporation would need to write the DLL for MapInfo Pro - it's their responsibility (or at least, not ERM's, AFAIK).
