April Lavigne doesn't know how to use her 3DS...
A. Probably
B. According to Gateway and the dev of the first page, it's actually useful data, but the person who created this tool had no idea what he was doing and thought it was a kind of watermark because older dumps didn't have this.
C. For what?
source code really isn't necessary for something this simple:
just go to 0x1200, overwrite 0x48 bytes with FF
that's it.
Guys, let's keep this thread on topic - the topic being that of the Gateway ROM Patcher.
If you have issues related to something other than this utility, please open a discussion in the proper subforum.

because this data DOESNT occur in the header on the carts
a CLEAN dump is purely the copy of the Cart
nothing else
changing it in ANY way by adding Extra Data or modifying it makes it no longer CLEAN
But some say otherwise, The Gateway dump roms contain the unique ID of the card and the card ID.
These are not GW watermarks, but actual data coming from the card, who is to say that the original dumpers werent dumping the full data

but its that this Data is not part of the Data on the cart game image itself
also i noticed is that all or Kirin's and BigBlueBox's Dumps always included the Card ID on there NFO files
meaning they know it exists but its not part of the game image also, otherwise they would have included it in the image surely?
In short, protect the cart it's been dumped from by deleting the unique identifier strings from the dump. That way the owner doesn't have to worry about their cart being banned from online play (or worse, their 3DS), and we still get the game's dump. Everyone wins.
...or at least that's how I interpreted it. Feel free to correct me if my logic is flawed.

New Revision of the Rom Cleaner
http://tinyurl.com/Rom-Cleaner-0-2
allows you to backup the data in a separate file so you Rom can be clean, but you can also Import the data also

you can remove the header with the tool. No header = No online.
You can also inject a different header with it.

But other than PC and Amiga ports I don't think Time Soldiers had any game system ports after the Master System -

I didn't know they made an MSU cart for the Genesis.... I knew about the SNES one and the library for that is rather large but the Genesis one has very few games+1
