And what about that paralax game 'ARC' that needs a rom-cartridge+disk.
there you will find the ROM inside the package but also a disk(that contains
the game. Since the actual game is on the disk Gametype should be disk not
Cartridge while still having a ROM.
It si the only exception I can think of but it would break the format (or
make it incorrect for this game)
