Thread: Decode file names

  1. #1

    Default Decode file names

    There are half a dozen roms for the same game title with variations in the file name, like (E), (J), [h1]. I think I know what most are but to be sure, can you fill in the blanks for me.

    E = English
    J = Japan
    U = Universal
    b = Bad Dump
    h? = Hacked version?
