Rom Duplicates Which One To Use?

[milkacow03]

so i just downloaded a buttload of SNES ROMS and each game has about 5 different versions. i figured that if it has a (J) after it then its in japanese, but which is the best to use for the GP2X?

here is an example
AD&D - Eye of the Beholder (J) [h1C].smc
AD&D - Eye of the Beholder (J) [hI].smc
AD&D - Eye of the Beholder (J).smc
AD&D - Eye of the Beholder (U) [!].smc

Like PlopperZ said, go for the [!] roms - they're known good dumps of the games.

You only downloaded them because you didn't have the equipment to dump your own bought cartridges, right?

some games have altered graphics, gameplay, or just mapper fixes (i.e. [h*)
some games have different content aside from the language changes (i.e. different levels, different characters)
when in doubt, stick with the verified games ([!]) but give others a try. Check out the top lists of games to play as well.
