Question about ROMs

Ok, this may seem like a very stupid question to some. Others may also be curious about this same thing. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

The question is that many ROMS have different identifying letters, symbols, #'s, etc. in parenthesis.

Now I know that (U) means the game is the US version and (J) means it is a Japanese Game. And (E) means the game is from Europe.

However, I never understood what the different version #'s mean. Here are some expamples.

Final Fantasy 2 (V1.0) (U)
Final Fantasy 2 (V1.1) (U)
Final Fantasy 3 (V1.0) (U)
Final Fantasy 3 (V1.1) (U) [!]

1. What is the difference between a V1.0 & a V1.1???

2. What the heck does [!] mean?

3. Some show [h1]

I have both Final Fantasy 2 ROMS listed above. Version 1.1 did not work correctly. Monster sprites were corrupted and game did not display correctly then crashed. But then version 1.0 of the game seems to work fine....

I have always wanted to know what these mean. If anyone could post what they mean I'd sure be thankful.

Happy Gaming!

I get confuzed with the rom names too, and it gets very annoying picking from like 50 different versions of the rom to see which one will work.

Has anyone had any success at getting NHL 98 (or even NHL 97) to work on the ME version on v1.5 firmware? I've tried a couple of different versions of the ROM and they both just go to a black screen. I haven't had any problems with 20+ other ROMS. Was this something to do with EA copy protection?

Other than that though it's a cracking emulator and it's great to be able to play Mario Kart at almost 100% with frameskip set to 1. Thanks! :)

I would love to be a part of the creation of this service if it is possible.

If anyone knows anything about how or if this could be possible, please post.

super bomberman works fine 2 player. I've also noticed something else sometimes when i've been playing wifi ( quake, snes9xTYL 4 and sms 1.2 ) when i turn off my machine ( jap 2.0) it won't recharge, i plug it in and no charge light, i have to take the battery out and put it back in!! Anyone know what this is about?

Another quick update, with regards to the non me version 0.4.1 the cause of the CPU bug seems to have been narrowed down. If you change your Eloader version from 0.9.7 to 0.9.6 you will be able to access a working 333Mhz mode (and therefore faster speeds), unfortunately though as you will probably realise eloader 0.9.6 doesn't support Wifi and has some other known bugs.

Wikipedia had the following on ROM naming conventions:

ROM naming schemes

Most ROMs will have a some information about the ROM in the file name. The following are naming codes that are generally accepted around the Internet. Some of these tags can be used in conjunction with a number to denote that there's more than one version with the same code. Example: There may be two copies of a ROM that were overdumped, so they will be appended with [o1] and [o2] accordingly.
Code Meaning
[!] Verified good dump
[a] Alternate to the original dump, often done by another dumping group
[b] Bad Dump of a rom that probably doesn't work properly
[C] Complete
[cr] Cracked
[f] Fixed to run better on emulators or bug fixed
[h] Hack of a rom that has possibly an intro added or graphics changed
[o] Overdump of a rom which has too much space allocated for it making it too big
[p] Pirate rom released without consent or stolen from the original dumping group
[PD] ROM is in the public domain
[t] Trained rom that has a small bit of code that lets you cheat in the game
[T]\[tr] Translation of a rom from one language to another
(-) Unknown year
(M#) Multilanguage (# of languages)
(###) Checksum
(**k) ROM Size
ZZZ_ Unclassified
(Unl) Unlicensed
(-) Unknown Year

my problem with tyl .4 is I cant play my rom of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, I had posted before about how after the opening screen it freezes up and displays a blue box saying [5] and it wont load, I got around that by loading a save state, but I cant even access the menu to heal on this emulator for the same reason, it freezes up and displays a blue box with [5] in it, and its realy annoying...

can anyone explain this crap to me?? why my game would be messing up for any usage.. its realy getting on my nerves, every time I play it it has frozen up, and of course, you cant heal very well in battle with the volcano boss..

if anyone has the answer to my problems, thanks,

I was wondering, is it really hard to make an emulator or app that has two versions: one for 1.5 and one for eloader?

Hi!

ur Emulator is awesome! (I know, alot of ppl already said this, but here is my statement anyways :))

BUT: I tested the following games:

super Ghouls 'N' Ghosts

Super Mario World

Super Mario Kart

Streetfighter Alpha 2 (Ithink it was)

Mortal Combat 2

Star fox (1 + Weekend)

The first 3 work VERY well!

BUT:

Mortal Combat always showas a "5" inside a blue frame and it plays not fluidly, to be honest VERY slowly

Starfox worx w/o any fauts I think, BUT runs VERY slow too ...

Streetfighter Alpha 2 worx w/o faults, too BUT also pretty slow .

-> Don't get me wrong, I appreciate ur work ALOT and I don't want to criticise u in any form. I just wanted to tell u this as u might work with these not that much played oms to try to improve the Emulator more and more until it is PERFECT (to which it pretty much got since the latest releases! :D )

Again, thx for this very good emulator!

Gr33tz!

Respectful,

I have version 2.6 and it tells me my battery is low. My battery is not low at all. It is at 90% and it will not allow me to save at all. Is there a fix for this?

1. when i press R+L then then go exit the Emu, my psp just freezes up and i cant press anything and i have to hard reboot it.

2. When iam playing some games ( streetfigheralph2 ) when i fishing beating someone, my psp just freezes again :X but i can still press R+L but it takes along time to get the menu back up.

mario64

Just a quick note that ever since version 2 of this great emulator mario world as had a few problems, in version 3 when you came to fight the end of level boss the screen froze and game ended, in version 4.2 when you fight bosses the walls don't appear ( at least you can still play the game). also when you save your game using the save states and reload the state later there is no in game sound. I have just brought this to your attention in case this could be fixed, if it can't that's cool because it's still a great emulator.

Non of the pro action replay codes/game genie codes are working. I used a previous emulator and they took fine on that one. Is there something special you have to do with this one?

hoodiejuggalo

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but when playing Super Mario Bros. 3, not all the sounds work and, from what I can tell, all underwater levels just display a solid blue sea, you cannot see anything but that. I have not tried this version of this emulator on any other Super Mario Bros. games, but I have tried it on Super Metroid, Zelda, and Mortal Kombat and all was well. Let me know if anymore information is needed. I'm running the 4.2me emulator btw. Oh yeah, these issues with Mario also did not occur with any of the previous versions either.

Things are looking good! There's two problems I'm running into with this version. First, when I try to play FF3 I keep getting a blue box with the number 3 over and over again. It's pretty much rendered the game unplayable. Second, If I load a previously saved state, there is no sound. This wasn't a problem when I was playing the same version the other day, but now it always happens. I haven't changed any settings, but I did experiment with the sound frequency and output, but I put everything back to the way it was. I don't know what's going on. Anybody else having these problems?

you will have trouble finding a good web browser on 1.50
So you may as well forget about web browsing :(

Other then that I recomend it highly.
And if you do decide, to downgrade
Pm me and I will step you through the entire process :cool:

*As far as any dangers, Its a lot less complicated then I though it would be.
The process is actully, tricking the psp into thinking its a 1.0 . and then upgradeing to 1.5 :cool:
Its pretty nice :p

can anybody step by step a noob through the process of putting this on a 2.00+ psp? or if not step by step on downgrading? any help would be appreciated...

Chrono Trigger and using Ltrg+Rtrg+A

:confused:
Hi. Does anyone know if a new version of this emu has been released that allows using L+R and another key.

For instance, there's a section in Chrono Trigger that requries you to press L, R and A together. This currently doesn't work (I've changed the default key setup to allow Ltrg+Rtrg).

I'm so impressed by this emu. I've spent more time on this than anything else on my PSP so far.. Keep up the good work!!

EMU Freezing?

I've been trying to relive the great RPG days on my PSP by using this supposed best snes EMU. every RPG ive tried freezes like 10 minutes into the game! like SECRET OF EVERMORE... freezing in the first few minutes when you approach a bush, its supposed to shake but instead freezes. ive played past this point on the PC SNES EMU so i know its not the ROM itself. ive toyed with all the settings but i cant seem to figure out what it is. also, FF3, secret of mana and Chrono trigger also freeze at a certain point early in the game.. ANY IDEAS? thanks in advance.
