    Can anyone find a guide that explains the ROM file names, I know (U) means USA (North AMerica) and (!) means verified good dump, but I dont know what T+Chi means.

    I think I seen a thing somewhere online, but I cant find it now...

    that topic should do it.

    Except it doesnt explain what they mean. I will try to fill it in

    Standard Codes:

    [a] - Alternate
    Alternate dump, must have a different CRC, but the same content

    [b] - Bad Dump
    Copied bad

    [BF] - Bung Fix
    ???

    [c] - Cracked
    Removed copy protection?

    [f] - Other Fix
    Something was fixed that doesn't have a code?


    [h] - Hack
    Modified version of a game, ex "Mario Warrior" where the guy in Dragon Warrior was made to look like Mario and the text says "Bowserlord" to fit the Matio theme

    [o] - Overdump
    Filesize bigger than expected for some reason?

    [p] - Pirate
    ???

    [t] - Trained
    Game trainer added (for cheating)

    [T] - Translation
    Translated from one language to another

    (Unl) - Unlicensed
    ???

    [x] - Bad Checksum
    Checksum stored in the rom is wrong?

    ZZZ_ - Unclassified
    ???

    [!] - Verified Good Dump
    CRC matches and it's a good copy

    (???k) - ROM Size
    Size of the ROM Chip?
