    Default Whats [h1C] ??? (SNES Roms)

    Hi guys,

    I download loads of SNES roms off of Sprung's ftp . They were all in 7z format and the PSP emu only supports .zip format. So I went ahead and unzipped all the 7z files and found various .smc files of the same game.

    For example, when I extracted Donkey Kong Country, I had 21 .smc files. I know what files with (U), (E), and (J) mean. But there are various others named [b1], [b2], [f1], [h1C], [h2C], etc, etc.

    Now which one of them am I exactly supposed to use ?? I intend to save as much space on my PSP mem card as possible, so I wanna know which one should I keep and which one should I delete ??

    Thanx in advance for the help

    So I guess I would be on a much safer side if I keep the ones with a "[!]" in them.
