This function locks the access bus to a CARD ROM device. If another module (with another ID) has already locked the bus, CARD_LockRom
waits until the bus returns to an unlocked state before it executes The function will return control after locking the card. When this function executes, it checks the ROM device at run-time, then automatically selects and locks the access bus to the game card or game pak.
All functions that access a CARD ROM device must first lock the access bus.
You cannot access a CARD ROM device and a backup device simultaneously.
While one bus is locked, other bus locks are forced to wait.
