Thanks alot for the list of codes. I'm just starting to get into downloading and collecting ROMs for the Nintendo 64, SNES and NES and don't know what most of the codes are. Do you happen to know what f1, M1, t1, h1C would mean? I also wanted to ask what the best codes would be to download games? I'm guessing ones that are USA games (U) and have a (!) after it for a good dump. Wow, that didn't sound good....Thanks!

Depends on who did the release or who was the last one to rename the rom, but if the filename is correct, then a standard rom naming convention should apply.

This usually works for me:
