不嫌棄的話....轉載一篇某個無聊的人以前寫過的定義文:
接觸模擬器有段時間的朋友,一旦想收集的家用機及掌機平台遊戲越多的話,那麼ROM檔案的數量也會越多
所以就有一些組織或團體,將整理歸納遊戲ROM檔的方式做了點規範,並以列表方式讓ROM檔擁有者,方便整理自己手邊的各式平台遊戲檔
而其中包括了幾種較為常見的方式
1:No-Intro
No-Intro的目標是提供一個最接近原始卡帶的ROM列表,也就是說此一種整理方式的意圖為排除除了good dump(最完整,最接近原始發售版本的dump)以外的bad dump,over dump,underdump,以及hack,fake,beta..等等,提供一種最純淨,或者說最接近純淨的ROM列表
No-Intro官方網站:http://www.no-intro.org/
2:Good
有別於No-Intro,Good系列的方式可以說是最完整的ROM收集方式,目的為收集所有目前已得知被dump過的ROM檔案,包括了上述部份外,還有許多的修改版或翻譯版,但仍會依照最新dump狀況而更新列表數據
good官方網站:http://www.allgoodthings.us/mambo/
3:Tosec
Tosec的全名為The Old School Emulation Centre,主要的收集整理目標及平台多為早期的各式PC(或計算機),當然也包括了一小部份的家用機及掌機ROM
以完整及龐大程度來說,Tosec是所有整理列表之冠(單就包含平台數及ROM列表收集度而言),一般來說除了對早期PC有興趣的玩家外,通常不建議收藏Tosec整理的ROM

===========================================================
從上可得知,各種ROM整理方式各有優劣,但若以[非單純收藏,而是想要執行最接近原版遊戲]的玩家來說,No-Intro可以說是最節省空間,最容易上手的全套ROM檔收集方式喔!
GoodTools的補充說明
GoodTool 是由 Cowering製作和釋出的一系列 Rom 命名工具 (ROM renamer)，主要在幫助你核對和重新命名你所有的 rom。
大型電玩由於 MAME 和各式模擬器的規範，使得大多數的 rom 都有一定的名稱 (每個有單一 CRC 的 rom 都有一個單一的名稱)，所以只需使用 Rom 管理工具再配合適當的資料檔即可輕鬆的查核，而且所得出的結果都和全世界的其他玩家相同 -- 相同的 CRC，相同的名稱，相同的 romset。
但家用主機的 rom 卻因為檔頭 (header) 和位元置換 (byte swapping) 的差異，使得我們常用的 rom 管理工具不適合用來辨識它。GoodTool 的出現解決了這個窘境，它提供了一個資料庫，並有統一的命名標準。
使用 GoodTool 不是收集狂的專利，不論你有多少 rom，在核對和重新命名之後，你便能和世界上其它的 rom 擁有者和模擬器玩家互相討論交流，不必再困惑於千奇百怪的名稱而浪費不必要的時間和資源去查核 rom 的正確性。
===========================================================
所以目前在網路上所能找到的rom檔,絕大部份都適合用於Goodtools來做校驗的,當然~~rom檔會因為模擬器的更新,使得Goddtools校驗時的rom檔命名方式或crc碼也會變更,也會產生所謂舊版本rom檔無法讀取於新模擬器上的情形,但這是另外的一個部份,今天暫不討論
可能很多玩過模擬器的人都接觸並使用過這些已經校驗過的遊戲rom,但是對於在rom檔名字後面的代碼卻不太清楚,比方PC-EngineHu-Card的rom檔:1941 - Counter Attack (J) (SGX) [a1][h1] (no SGX).pce,裡面的(J),[a1],[h1]各代表著什麼意義呢?
希望藉由本文讓大家多點認識!先列出Goodtools裡面的代碼列表:(內容來自於Goodtools的Goodcodes文件)

: [f] A fixed game has been altered in some way :\
: so that it will run better on a copier :\
: or emulator. :\
: ------------------- :\
: [h] Something in this ROM is not quite as it :\
: should be. Often a hacked ROM simply has :\
: a changed header or has been enabled to :\
: run in different regions. Other times it :\
: could be a release group intro, or just :\
: some kind of cheating or funny 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] A trainer is special code which executes :\
: before the game is begun. It allows you :\
: to access cheats from a menu. :\

在這先針對常見及通用代碼做說明
rom版本標準代碼:
[a] Alternate 代替,重新發佈的
Bad Dump 不良的Dump
[f] Fixed 經修正過的,可使得rom檔在模擬器上執行的比較好
[h] Hack Hack在這裡通常指的是內容被修改過,與原版不同或破解版的意思
[o] Overdump 過肥版,比原版多出了多餘內容
[p] Pirate 海盜版,可能這個rom的實體本身早已非原版rom
[t] Trained 訓練版,類似Beta版的一種,大多是會比原版多出一個cheats menu
[T-] OldTranslation 舊版本的翻譯版
[T+] NewerTranslation 跟樓上相反....新版本的(但版本如何判定我就不清楚了)
(-) Unknown Year 未知年份的版本
[!] Verified Good Dump 最良好,最完整Dump的版本!!
(M#) Multilanguage (# of Languages) 多語言版
(Unl) Unlicensed 非官方認可的rom版本
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
至於國家代碼或各平台專用的代碼....國家代碼比較容易瞭解,專用代碼有興趣的人可以自己研究研究!! |
