DOS76 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Okay I have some SNES games that have duplicates but the only difference is a string of numbers after the title what is the differences and do the numbers specify which one is the newer version based on the higher value is the newer game or is that not how they do it? I'm making the dupes additional apps and want to make sure that the better/newer version is the main game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hmm...do you have a specific example? It could indicate a revision; which did happen on occasion for bug fixes. Typically those are listed as "Rev A", "Rev B", etc. though, so it may be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The only thing I can come up with is it's either some kind of weird revision or dump differentiation or possibly a checksum indicator. I don't think I've ever encountered that specific format. This is a pretty good reference for rom suffixes. The only thing that seems to fit with that list would be a checksum.

SentaiBrad Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yea that would be my guess to, some check. Nothing to specifically worry about I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 I was just curious if there were differences in the game as the one example list that it has a different corporate logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yea it is odd, I don't quite understand why. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
