Notes

Uniquely Identifying Games

SNES games don't have unique internal game IDs or serial numbers. The following 4 fields can be used to uniquely identify a game:

1. The Internal Title, which is at offsets 0x00 through 0x19 (inclusive) of the ROM header
2. The Developer ID, which is at offset 0x1A of the ROM header
3. The ROM Version, which is at offset 0x1B of the ROM header
4. The Checksum (see calculation code)

The game folders within games are named as follows (i.e., these 4 fields delimited by .....):

DEVELOPER_ID.....INTERNAL_TITLE.....ROM_VERSION.....CHECKSUM

See the GameID SNES identification code for implementation details.
