iNES Mapper 100 was assigned by fwNES[1] to denote mapper hacks for the MMC3 emulation of Nesticle, an influential NES emulator for MS-DOS in the late 1990s. Nesticle did not directly support many of the custom ASICs by Irem, Konami and Namco, but did incorrectly emulate the MMC3 in a way that made it useful to run modified ROM images. Most of them use 512-byte trainers that must be loaded to CPU address $7000.
Nestopia uses iNES mapper 100 as a magic number for UNIF-only boards. Nintendulator uses this as a general-purpose debugging mapper, allowing PRG/CHR banks to be selected arbitrarily using a control dialog.
