ROM Set Management

ROM Set Management

The editor supports three ROM variants: Konami, Stern, and Bootleg.

ROM Sets

Konami (Original)

• Original Japanese release
• Copyright: "© 1982 KONAMI"
• Default set

Stern (US Licensed)

• US release by Stern Electronics
• Copyright: "© 1982 KONAMI / STERN ELECTRONICS"
• Identical gameplay to Konami

Bootleg (Unofficial)

• Unauthorized version
• Copyright text changed to "1982" (© removed)
• Title graphic blanked out
• Copy protection bypassed
• Otherwise identical to Konami

Switching ROM Sets

1. Use dropdown on main window
2. Confirm switch (if unsaved changes)
3. Editor reloads data from zip

File Structure

All three ROM sets must be in tutankhm.zip:

The editor maps logical names to physical files:

• Konami: Uses original filenames (c1.1i, m1.1h, etc.)
• Stern: Uses a6.6h, 3a.3h (different copyright data)
• Bootleg: Uses t-prefixed names (t1.1h, t2.2h, etc.)

Important Notes

• ROM zip is read-only - never modified
• Save operations write to current directory
• Can switch sets without losing unsaved work
• All sets share same map structure
