INES Mapper 255

iNES Mapper 255 is apparently assigned to the 110-in-1 multicart.

     +---++++--++------- - Select 16 KiB PRG at CPU $8000 and $C000 if Z=1
     +---++++--+-------- - Select 32 KiB PRG at CPU $8000 if Z=0
      |+---------------- - Select PRG bank size: 0-32K 1-16K
      +----------------- - Nametable mirroring: 0-PPUA10 ("vertical") 1-PPUA11 ("horizontal")

Hardware on the board includes

four 512 KiB ROMs for PRG
two 512 KiB ROMs for CHR
two 74'273 8-bit latches
74139
PAL16L8 emulating a 74153
an unpopulated footprint for a 74'670

The two latches’ reset inputs are tied to 5V, so the banking register boots with random contents.

This looks like a duplicate of iNES Mapper 225. It’s not clear why Nestopia implemented it twice.
