Need help with rom ID

[theercster]

For the NES and other older systems, there's various versions with different tags at the end of the title. For ex:

Contraforce (u) [o1]
Contraforce (u) [p1]
Contraforce (u) [T-port]

I know that (u) and (j) represents the language, but could someone please tell me what the later tags mean?

T- followed by something is for translated.
! is a good dump
everything else I ignore
they are mosty indicators of hacks and crap
so when I look for roms I always get the (X)! ones

[kazin]

[B] is bad dump. avoid!
[O] is overdump. avoid!

[P] is pirated version, but I don't know the point.

[H] is hacked version. I avoid these.
[A] is alternate. I see no point of these. different dumpers I guess.

[T-port] means translated in portugese. I avoid all these except [T-Eng]

There you go, everything you may need to know about rom IDs, I would post my source but it would break our piracy policy.
