Verifying NES roms

majax79 · 08-01-2009, 08:29 AM

I've got the latest .dat file from no-intro and I'm trying to verify my rom's data. I tried romcenter but it's just not working.

Are there any other programs that can verify rom data?

There's GoodNES, though it hasn't updated for quite awhile and was never praised for it's accuracy. (Although I believe it's fairly accurate as far as what it claims to be good ROMs, it's Cowering's handling of bad ROMs and hacks that was always railed against.)

There's also TOSEC, which I haven't been able to get working myself.

The problem with GoodNES is that a lot of it's information is inaccurate, plus it includes hacked ROMs and bad ROMs in it's "missing" lists.

I've tried to use ROM Center and clrmamepro myself recently and have come to the conclusion that they're both utter shit and that everyone who has ever played a part in the creation of DATs and auditing utilities are fucking morons and I hope that they all develop colon cancer.

I got so frustrated trying to use those retarded pieces of shit the other day that I just about deleted my entire emulation directory out of spite.
