Good Codes
ROM files which have been named with the Good Tools naming convention have letters and numbers in their names, within brackets. These letters and numbers disclose various things about the ROM; which country the game is from, how original the ROM dump is, how accurate the dump is, what year the ROM is from, sometimes the size of the ROM, sometimes the CRC of the ROM and a few other things too. Here is a complete description...
Standard Codes
These codes tell you about the status of the ROM. Generally, the ideal ROM would be one with a [!] symbol, as such a ROM has been 100% verified against the original game. However, you may see other symbols, such as [a1] or [o3]... what these mean is that the ROM is the first known 'alternate ROM', or third known 'overdump ROM'. These extra codes are used a lot in ROM sets. Here is what they mean:
[!] Verified Good Dump
[a] Alternate to the original dump often done by another dumping group.
[o] Overdump of a ROM which has too much space allocated for it making it too big.
[p] Pirate ROM released without consent, or stolen from the original dumping group.
[b] Bad Dump of a ROM, which probably doesn't work correctly.
[f] Fixed to run better on emulators or bug fixed.
[h] Hack of a ROM that has possibly an intro added or graphics changed.
[t] Trained ROM that has a small bit of code that lets you cheat in the game.
[T] Translation of a ROM from one language to another.
