:ÂÂÂÂ ROM. Many games have been re-released toÂÂ:\
:ÂÂÂÂ fix bugs or even to eliminate Game GenieÂÂ:\
:ÂÂÂÂ codes (Yes, Nintendo hates that device).ÂÂ:\
:ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ -------------------ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ :\
: A bad dump often occurs with an olderÂÂÂÂ :\
:ÂÂÂÂ game or a faulty dumper (bad connection). :\

: Something in this ROM is not quite as itÂÂ:\
:ÂÂÂÂ should be. Often a hacked ROM simply hasÂÂ:\
:ÂÂÂÂ a changed header or has been enabled toÂÂ :\
:ÂÂÂÂ run in different regions. Other times itÂÂ:\
:ÂÂÂÂ could be a release group intro, or justÂÂ :\
:ÂÂÂÂ some kind of cheating or funny hack.ÂÂÂÂÂÂ:\

: [o] An overdumped ROM image has more dataÂÂÂÂ :\
