MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: Random Emulation Questions

That's right, bad dumps and overdumps are something you shouldn't bother. Bad dumps could be incomplete data, graphic glitches or corrupted games. Overdumps could be either good or bad dumps with unnecessary random data added.

No, if you look at the table I linked before [ t ] ROMs are trainers. I was wrong then, [ h ] contain things like warez intros, harder difficulties, game changes, graphic/sound modifications, etc. The [ t ] ones load a cheat menu before starting the game.

Translations could be more than only English translations. Look at the filenames below:

As you can see there are Spanish, English, German, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Russian, Italian and Chinese fan made translations in there. Basically the only reason to keep such deprecated collections today. No-intro and redump are better options and current solutions now. Last good tool release was 2 years ago.

You won't find NEOGEO AES covered by either no-intro or good tools, MAME and all previous NEOGEO emulators from first decade of the century took care of all that. Unless you own a 486 with DOS or a Pentium III machine with Windows 2000 and you are still using NeorageX, I suggest you to use anything better than good tools.
