INES Mapper 225 denotes the ET-4310 (60-pin) and K-1010 (72-pin) multicart circuit boards.

 Here are Disch's original notes:

 Registers:
 ---------------------------
 
   $5800-5803:  [.... RRRR]  RAM  (readable/writable)
                 (16 bits of RAM -- 4 bits in each of the 4 regs)
   $5804-5FFF:    mirrors $5800-5803
 
   $8000-FFFF:  A~[.HMO PPPP PPCC CCCC]
     H = High bit (acts as bit 7 for PRG and CHR regs)
     M = Mirroring (0=Vert, 1=Horz)
     O = PRG Mode
     P = PRG Reg
     C = CHR Reg

Nestopia does not implement the 4 × 4 bit RAM, and FCEUX ceased to support it between 2.1.5 and 2.2.1

This looks like a duplicate of iNES Mapper 255. It's not clear why Nestopia implemented it twice.

Pictures of the PCB show physical releases both with and without the 74'670 that make up the extra RAM. Carts are slightly buggy without it.
