INES Mapper 060

iNES Mapper 60 is used for two very different multicarts. In the absence of a submapper proposal, the PRG-ROM size can be used to differentiate between the Reset-based 4-in-1 (PRG-ROM size up to 64 KiB) and D1038/VT5201 (PRG_ROM size 128 KiB and more).
Reset-based NROM-128 4-in-1
Here are Disch's original notes: ======================== = Mapper 060 = ======================== Example Game: -------------------------- Reset Based 4-in-1 Notes: --------------------------- This mapper is very, very unique. It's a multicart that consists of four NROM games, each with 16k PRG (put at $8000 and $C000) and 8k CHR. The current block that is selected is determined by an internal register that can only be incremented by a soft reset! I would assume the register is 2 bits wide? Don't know for sure.
D1038/VT5201
FCEUX and several emulators emulate a completely unreleated multicart with the UNIF board name BMC-D1038 under Mapper 060:

Similar Mappers
INES Mapper 059 is almost identical to D1038/VT5201 right down to the Jumper Read Control, the only difference being that the PRG-ROM size is always 32 KiB, and the 32 KiB PRG-ROM bank is directly selected via CPU A4-A6 instead of A5-A6.
