  61. : :\
  62. : [a] This is simply an alternate version of a :\
  63. : ROM. Many games have been re-released to :\
  64. : fix bugs or even to eliminate Game Genie :\
  65. : codes (Yes, Nintendo hates that device). :\
  66. : ------------------- :\
  67. : [b] A bad dump often occurs with an older :\
  68. : game or a faulty dumper (bad connection). :\
  69. : Another common source of [b] ROMs is a :\
  70. : corrupted upload to a release FTP. :\
  71. : ------------------- :\
  72. : [f] A fixed game has been altered in some way :\
  73. : so that it will run better on a copier :\
  74. : or emulator. :\
  75. : ------------------- :\
  76. : [h] Something in this ROM is not quite as it :\
  77. : should be. Often a hacked ROM simply has :\
  78. : a changed header or has been enabled to :\
  79. : run in different regions. Other times it :\
  80. : could be a release group intro, or just :\
  81. : some kind of cheating or funny hack. :\
  82. : ------------------- :\
  83. : [o] An overdumped ROM image has more data :\
  84. : than is actually in the cart. The extra :\
  85. : information means nothing and is removed :\
  86. : from the true image. :\
  87. : ------------------- :\
  88. : [t] A trainer is special code which executes :\
  89. : before the game is begun. It allows you :\
  90. : to access cheats from a menu. :\
  91. : ------------------- :\
  92. : [!] Verified good dump. Thank God for these! :\

  103. : show which was connected to the game in :\
  104. : some way. These games were only playable :\
  105. : during the show, and thus stop after an :\

  107. : certain time periods were playable. :\
  108. : ------------------- :\
  109. : (ST) The Sufami Turbo device allowed two :\
  110. : GameBoy sized carts to be plugged into :\

  131. : cart will run on any non US machine. :\
