iNES Mapper 237 represents the Teletubbies 420-in-1 multicart.

The mt bits interact, so it might be more convenient to think of them together:
00 - 128 KiB UNROM 40 - defective interaction; UNROM but the lsb of the latch is ignored and treated as 0 80 - 16 KiB NROM (PRG A14 is connected to lsb of latch) C0 - 32 KiB NROM (PRG A14 is connected to CPU A14)
Note: the "type" bit probably depends on the specific cartridge. Implementing this differently will produce a different-seeming multicart. The software pretends that setting the Type bit replaces the entire ROM with a byte that specifies the kind of multicart present.
