What ROM names mean, eg (e) (u) [!]

navilink · May 14th, 2003, 06:29

Sometimes, I see the rom names got many things at the end like:
- (u), (e), (j), (g) etc
- [!] etc
- [a1], [b1], [b2], [b3], [f1], [f2], [h1], [o1], [m3] etc
- (pal), (ntsc), (cartname) etc
- etc!

I'm TOTALLY confused. :confused:

Any software to interpret the meaning??? Thanx...

Also, what's the difference btw Zelda OoT v1.0 and v1.2?

(U) = US Rom
(E) = Europe
(J) = Japan
(G) = German?
(!) = Good Rom

[a] = not sure
[b*] = Bad Dump

[f*] = Unsure
[h*] = Hack
[o*] = OverDump (sometimes bad, sometimes good)
[m*] = Not sure.

Video System: PAL = Europe/Japan. NTSC = US

cartname = meh, not sure.

What can I say.

[!] = Verified good dump
[a] = Alternative version
[f*] = Fixed to run better on copiers or emulators
[m*] = Multilanguage

BTW, overdumps may work fine sometimes but they aren't really a good version of the rom.

The numbers just indicate different versions. [b1] is one bad dump, [b2] is bad in a different way, etc. The (AGS intro) roms are hacks that include an intro by the AGS group. They may have dumped some roms and felt they should be marked as such, or just wanted to hack some roms. I'm not entirely sure.

The version numbers indicate different internal versions of the game. That is, different versions released by the developer. They may contain slight alterations to game content, bug fixes, etc.
