- .............: STANDARD CODE NOTES ::............
- : :\
- : [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! :\

- : :\
- : **** SNES **** :\
- : (BS) These Japanese ROMs were distributed :\
- : through a satellite system in Japan :\
- : 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 :\
- : the SNES. Certain carts combined into :\
- : new games much like the Sonic & Knuckles :\
- : lock-on technology by Sega. :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : (NP) Nintendo Power has been known to release :\
- : games only available to its subscribers. :\
- : Most of these ROMs are Japanese, as this :\
- : practice occured mainly in Japan. :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : :\
- : **** Genesis **** :\
- : (1) Carts with this code will run on both :\
- : Japanese and Korean machines. :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : (4) While this code is technically the same :\
- : as a (U) code, it is a newer header :\
- : 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. :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : [c] This code represents a cart with known :\
- : faulty checksum routines. :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : :\
- : **** GameBoy **** :\
- : [BF] Bung released a programmable cartridge :\
- : compatable with the GameBoy which could :\
- : hold any data you wished to play. :\
- : However, many games do not function on :\
- : Bung v1.0 carts and have to be 'fixed.' :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : :\
- : **** Nintendo **** :\
- : PC10 The PlayChoice 10 was an arcade unit :\
- : which played exact copies of NES games :\
- : in an arcade cabinet. The machines had a :\
- : choice of 10 games to choose from and :\
- : ran for about 3 minutes on 25 cents. :\
- : ------------------- :\
- : :\
- : VS The Versus system ran on similar hard- :\
- : ware to the PC10 machines, but simply :\
- : allowed you to play against each other. :\
