### Why should anyone still use GoodTools?

OpenGood does not encourage the continued use of GoodTools. No-Intro, Redump, and TOSEC have done a much better job in terms of preservation and have essentially obsoleted GoodTools. However, GoodTools left a lasting legacy on the ROM preservation scene, and even 5 years since the last available release, the database information within GoodTools remains opaque and not easily distributable. OpenGood aims to preserve this database in a freely distributable and standard format, regardless of the practicalities of its use.

### What is the OpenNES.Headered DAT?

The regular OpenNES.dat file does not hash the iNES header. OpenNES.Headered.dat was generated using the `fixnes` header feature of GoodNES. For most purposes, use the regular OpenNES DAT file. The intent behind this DAT is for traceability as well as having a set with headers GoodNES deems 'best'; however because of some small differences between ROMs even ran against `fixnes` this may not necessarily result in a matching ROM set. The script used to strip iNES headers can be found [here](https://gist.github.com/chyyran/404082bba27782fa8cdb094f8969dabc).

The following ROMS are not `fixnes` and are left bare. UNIF format ROMs were also not changed.
