Gathering Dump Info
A useful tool for calculating hashes and gather some of the information below is GameHeader
- CRC32: Generated from the ROM file using HxD, for example.
- MD5: Ditto.
- SHA-1: Ditto.
- Game title: If it differs between different places (e.g. title screen, console menu banner, box, cart) then go with the one on the front of the box.
- ROM Region: The region found in the ROM data. (Can be extracted using GameHeader)
- ROM Revision: The revision found in the ROM data. (Can be extracted using GameHeader)
- ROM Serial: The four-character serial found in the ROM data. (Can be extracted using GameHeader, if the header includes it)
- Languages/Language Select: Some games either show a language selection screen at startup or in the game options. Note that it is possible to submit a game without checking the languages, but this then needs to be stated in your submission.
- Cart Serial: It is located on the label on the front of the cart, for example: "SNS-MW-USA"
- Box Barcode: The number on the case displayed beneath the vertical lines, see Barcode.
- Box Serial: The serial on the case. Example: SNS P MW.
- Size: The size of the ROM in bytes.
- Chip(s) serial(s) (optional): The main serial on the ROM chip, for example: "SNS-MW-0".
- Scans: The following scans (or photos) would be good to have: Front and back of the following items - box, cart and PCB.
