//! Mapper 261 – BMC-810544-C-A1 (multicart address latch)
//!
//! Specifications:
//! - Primary source: NesDev wiki
//! <https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/NES_2.0_Mapper_261>
//! - Reference implementation: Mesen2 `Core/NES/Mappers/Unlicensed/Bmc810544CA1.h`
//! <https://github.com/SourMesen/Mesen2/blob/master/Core/NES/Mappers/Unlicensed/Bmc810544CA1.h>
//!
//! # Hardware overview
//!
//! Used on the BMC-810544-C-A1 and NTDEC-2746 multicart boards (e.g., "200-in-1 Elfland",
//! "14-in-1 NTDEC").
//!
//! All banking information is encoded in the **write address**, not the data byte.
//! Any write to `$8000–$FFFF` latches the address bus and re-applies banks.
//!
//! # Address latch (`$8000–$FFFF`, write — address bits only)
//!
//! ```text
//! A~1... ..PP PmpM CCCC
//! || |||| ++++- Select 8 KiB CHR-ROM bank at PPU $0000–$1FFF
//! || |||+------ Nametable mirroring: 0=Vertical, 1=Horizontal
//! || ||+------- Bit 0 of 16 KiB PRG-ROM bank in NROM-128 mode
//! || |+-------- PRG-ROM banking mode
//! || | 0: NROM-128 (16 KiB at $8000–$BFFF, mirrored to $C000–$FFFF)
//! || | 1: NROM-256 (32 KiB at $8000–$FFFF)
//! ++-+--------- Bits 1–3 of 16 KiB PRG bank (NROM-128) /
//! 32 KiB PRG bank selector (NROM-256)
//! ```
//!
//! # PRG banking
//!
//! Let `outer = (addr >> 7) & 0x07` (bits 9:7 of write address, 3 bits).
//!
//! **NROM-256 mode** (`addr & 0x40` is set):
//! - `$8000–$BFFF` → 16 KiB page `outer × 2`
//! - `$C000–$FFFF` → 16 KiB page `outer × 2 + 1`
//!
//! **NROM-128 mode** (`addr & 0x40` is clear):
//! - Both 16 KiB windows map to the same page:
//! `(outer × 2) | ((addr >> 5) & 1)`
//!
//! # CHR banking
//!
//! 8 KiB CHR-ROM bank selected by `addr & 0x0F` (bits 3:0 of write address).
//!
//! # Mirroring
//!
//! Bit 4 of the write address: `0` = Vertical, `1` = Horizontal.
//!
//! # Power-on / reset state
//!
//! Equivalent to writing address `$8000`: all banks map to page 0,
//! CHR bank 0, vertical mirroring.
