.............: 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 [b] ROMs is a    :
:     corrupted upload to a release FTP.        :
:             -------------------               :
: [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!  :

:                                               :
: **** SNES ****                                :
: (BS) These Japanese ROMs were distributed     :
:      through a satellite system in Japan      :
:      known as the Broadcast Satellaview.      :
:      They were transmitted along with a TV    :
:      show which was connected to the game in  :
:      some way. These games were only playable :
:      during the show, and thus stop after an  :
:      hour, and many were timed so that only   :
:      certain time periods were playable.      :
:             -------------------               :
: (ST) The Sufami Turbo device allowed two      :
:      GameBoy sized carts to be plugged into   :
:      the SNES. Certain carts combined into    :
:      new games much like the Sonic & Knuckles :
:      lock-on technology by Sega.              :
:             -------------------               :
: (NP) Nintendo Power has been known to release :
:      games only available to its subscribers. :
:      Most of these ROMs are Japanese, as this :
:      practice occured mainly in Japan.        :
:             -------------------               :
:                                               :
: **** Genesis ****                             :
:  (1) Carts with this code will run on both    :
:      Japanese and Korean machines.            :
:             -------------------               :
:  (4) While this code is technically the same  :
:      as a (U) code, it is a newer header      :
:      format and represents that the cart will :
:      run on USA and Brazil NTSC machines.     :
:             -------------------               :
:  (B) This country code indicates that the     :
:      cart will run on any non US machine.     :
:             -------------------               :
:  [c] This code represents a cart with known   :
:      faulty checksum routines.                :
:             -------------------               :
:                                               :
: **** GameBoy ****                             :
: [BF] Bung released a programmable cartridge   :
:      compatable with the GameBoy which could  :
:      hold any data you wished to play.        :
:      However, many games do not function on   :
:      Bung v1.0 carts and have to be 'fixed.'  :
:             -------------------               :
:                                               :
: **** Nintendo ****                            :
: PC10 The PlayChoice 10 was an arcade unit     :
:      which played exact copies of NES games   :
:      in an arcade cabinet. The machines had a :
:      choice of 10 games to choose from and    :
:      ran for about 3 minutes on 25 cents.     :
:             -------------------               :
:                                               :
:   VS The Versus system ran on similar hard-   :
:      ware to the PC10 machines, but simply    :
:      allowed you to play against each other.  :
