There may be a few more but this list should cover all your queries. I suggest looking out for roms with [!] as these are verified as good dumps and will be error free.

What are overdumps and pirates? Commonsense would gear towards pirate meaning that the game was pirated, but in the same sense aren't all roms?
Also, a found a few tags on some of my roms that aren't listed here. (W) and (REV 00) or (REV 01). Anyone know them? |

the (W) stands for World. It means a game was released worldwide. (JUE) stands for Japanese, United States and Europe. they were only released for these countrys. Look into the Good Tools by cowering, very useful. |

Over Dumps are roms that haven't been dumped correctly. Meaning there is too much information and most likely will have errors when playing. Now for roms that are pirated, they play kinda a.. different role. Pirated games on classic roms usually mean either hacked, or made by someone. I've played a couple hacked "Pirated" ones in my day and they're pretty funny. (Rev 00) or (REV 01) - Rev 00 is usually the first inital release of the game. If the game had some bugs and was a hit game, they will release what is called a revision, to fix such problems. Things may get added into the game that werent there before, or things may be removed. I hope this clears up some of the confusion :mrgreen: |

Some of this has already been said but this is what was included with the goodtools
STANDARD CODES [a] Alternate [b] Bad Dump [f] Fixed [h] Hack [o] Overdump [p] Pirate [t] Trained [T] Translation (-) Unknown Year [!] Verified Good Dump (M#) Multilanguage (# of Languages) (###) Checksum ZZZ_ Unclassified (??k) ROM Size (Unl) Unlicensed SPECIAL CODES Gameboy [C] Color [S] Super [BF] Bung Fix Super Nintendo (BS) BS ROMs (ST) Sufami Turbo (NP) Nintendo Power Genesis (1) Japan (4) USA (5) NTSC Only (8) PAL Only (B) non USA [c] Checksum [x] Bad Checksum [R-] Countries Atari (PAL) Euro Version GBA [hI??] Intro hacks Coleco (Adam) ADAM Version NeoGeo Pocket [M] Mono Only NES/FC (PC10) PlayChoice 10 (VS) Versus [hFFE] FFE Copier fmt COUNTRY CODES (1) Japan & Korea (A) Australia (B) non USA (Genesis) (C) China (E) Europe (F) France (F) World (Genesis) (FC) French Canadian (FN) Finland (G) Germany (GR) Greece (HK) Hong Kong (H) Holland (4) USA & BrazilNTSC (J) Japan (K) Korea (NL) Netherlands (PD) Public Domain (S) Spain (SW) Sweden (U) USA (UK) England (Unk) Unknown Country (I) Italy (Unl) Unlicensed 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! SPECIAL CODE NOTES 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. |

These codes are from the 'GoodTools' series of rom renaming software by Cowering.
