List of codes for roms

[Chell65]

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:

I have been searching for a list like this for quite a while. 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!

Additionally to above list, I found these notes:

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 ROMs is a
corrupted upload to a release.

[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!

It's annoying how not all ROM dumpers mark these.

Anyway, why are there ones that simply have nothing beside them like the SMB1 Europe ROM? That game is correctly dumped but Nintendo broke the sound.
