Nah it's just an unlicensed release (homebrew/pirate).

IE. Rockman X3 (Unl) [!] for the Sega Genesis. This was a SNES only release thus this version/pirate/rip-off is unlicensed. ;)

Hey you got the piratebay.org's link in your picture, doesn't that violated the forum rules since we are talking about roms here?

i downloaded some 007 roms, 4 to be exact. they are called:
007 - The World is Not Enough (E) (M3) [!].z64
007 - The World is Not Enough (U) [!].z64
007 - The World is Not Enough (U) [t1].z64
007 - The World is Not Enough (U) [t1][f1] (PAL-NTSC).z64

what the hell does [t1] [f1] and (PAL-NTSC) mean? any guesses?

What does PRG0 mean? I have it on one of my roms, (castlevania for the NES)
along with U and ! So is this is a good one or should I take the other one that just has E? (The rom site that I download from gives you a whole bunch of hacks and different versions of the roms when you download the game)

Thanks to anybody who answers.

It's just a ROM that has a number of revisions, PRG0 and PRG1 for example. As long as they have a [!] they are perfect.

(E) Just means the European PAL release.
