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:

 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 other emulators emulate a completely unrelated 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.
