Rom extensions/explanations?

[zargos]

so i have been searching the web all day trying to find a place were u get explanations for all extensions found on some rom files such as (!), [h1+c], [p1], (PD), [o1], (j), (u), (e) (b1) and so on.. (snes + nes roms)

ok sane people know that (e) means europe release, (j) means jap release, (u) means usa release. but what about those really strange endings like [t1], [h2], [b1] and so on? i would figure that those labled "b" means something with beta probably. and those roms labled with h means something with hack?

actually i did manage once to find a homepage that had the explanations. how ever thats a while ago and i cant seem to relocate it.

If anyone knows the explanations for these files or knows a link to a site that does, please be so kind to upload it. thx

thanks a lot. so (!) are the roms that works.... good to know;)

[zargos]

another thing. what if there is a specific number in the ending? a 4-5 numbers like this: (6361) .. it doesnt look like a date imo.

The [!] means the dumps is verified to be good. This doesn't mean the others without [!] aren't. Most are good, but not yet verified.
