    ............. 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!

    ............. SPECIAL CODE NOTES .............

    **** 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.'
