|
: :\
|
|
: [a] This is simply an alternate version of a :\
|
|
: ROM. Many games have been re-released to :\
|
|
: fix bugs or even to eliminate Game Genie :\
|
|
: codes (Yes, Nintendo hates that device). :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: [b] A bad dump often occurs with an older :\
|
|
: game or a faulty dumper (bad connection). :\
|
|
: Another common source of [b] ROMs is a :\
|
|
: corrupted upload to a release FTP. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: [f] A fixed game has been altered in some way :\
|
|
: so that it will run better on a copier :\
|
|
: or emulator. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: [h] Something in this ROM is not quite as it :\
|
|
: should be. Often a hacked ROM simply has :\
|
|
: a changed header or has been enabled to :\
|
|
: run in different regions. Other times it :\
|
|
: could be a release group intro, or just :\
|
|
: some kind of cheating or funny hack. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: [o] An overdumped ROM image has more data :\
|
|
: than is actually in the cart. The extra :\
|
|
: information means nothing and is removed :\
|
|
: from the true image. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: [t] A trainer is special code which executes :\
|
|
: before the game is begun. It allows you :\
|
|
: to access cheats from a menu. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: [!] Verified good dump. Thank God for these! :\

|
|
: known as the Broadcast Satellaview. :\
|
|
: They were transmitted along with a TV :\
|
|
: show which was connected to the game in :\
|
|
: some way. These games were only playable :\
|
|
: during the show, and thus stop after an :\
|
|
: hour, and many were timed so that only :\
|
|
: certain time periods were playable. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: (ST) The Sufami Turbo device allowed two :\
|
|
: GameBoy sized carts to be plugged into :\

|
|
: format and represents that the cart will :\
|
|
: run on USA and Brazil NTSC machines. :\
|
|
: ------------------- :\
|
|
: (B) This country code indicates that the :\
|
|
: cart will run on any non US machine. :\
