The GoodXXXX series is a naming method and series of programs used to label and verify ROMs.
Country Codes
- (U) - The game is from the US and is in English
- (J) - The game is from Japan and is in Japanese
- (E) - The game is from Europe and is in English
- (JU) - The game is in English and Japanese
- (1) - The game is from Japan and Korea
- (4) - The game is from USA & Brazil NTSC
- (A) - The game is from Australia and is in English
- (F) - The game has a world release
- (PD) - The game is in public domain
- (Unl) - The game is unlicensed
Standard Codes
- [!] - The game is a verified good dump
- (aX) - The game is alternative to the original copy
- (bX) - The game is a bad dump. These are useless. 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) - The game has been hacked
- [h1C] - Further identifies a hack as a cartname 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) - The game has been supplied with a trainer
- (x) - Wrong checksum (Needs verifying). Potentially- [c][!] or a bad dump
Genesis-Specific Codes
- (1) - Carts with this code will run on both Japanese and Korean machines.
- (32X) - 32X game
- (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.
- (J-Cart) - Codemasters J-Cart
- (MP) - MegaPlay (only Sonic 1 is in Goodgen)
