Rom's Old Era ROM Collection V2 now online!


Rom Hunter

Recommended Posts

Is this the most updated Rom collection as of now?
Yep.

 

Next one (V3) will hopefully be online in januari 2009.

 

8)

What are your feelings regarding multiple ROMs that are exactly identical?

 

I use the program "Easy Duplicate Finder" to locate duplicate files, and it's found 112 files that appear to be redundant.

 

I suppose you may want to leave the dupes in as they still provide historical information - e.g. "BMX Air Master (1990) (Atari) (CX26190).bin" and "BMX Air Master (1989) (TNT Games, Adam Clayton) (26192).bin" are identical in file content but still document two separate releases. Perhaps you could remove all the dupes and add a single text file documenting which games are total re-releases?

 

Do you want a list of the duplicates it found?

 

PS THIS COLLECTION IS AWESOME and huge thanks for putting this all together and then sharing it with us for free. : )

I'd be interested in that since I don't need dups on my Cuttle Cart.

I leave the dupes from different companies in, because the info has historical meaning and I can see in an instant which games were released by a certain company.

 

This collection combined with Z26 and the X26 frontend's search machine (featuring the AND, OR and NOT search commands) creates an incredibly powerful VCS games database.

 

Overdumped dupes is another story, though.

 

They have no real historical value.

 

Cybergoth is creating a tool to compare them and pick them out for me.

 

I would love to have you dupes list.

 

Perhaps I can find something interesting in there.

Full list of 1:1 identical ROMs attached. Note that you shouldn't just blindly delete both - keep one from each group!

 

A few (unknown) ROMs are paired up here, so maybe that clears up some mysteries?

 

EDIT: Anyone interested in deleting these, do yourself a favor and get Easy Duplicate Finder. It will track all this down for you and can move or delete files automatically. Freeware too.

 

EDIT2: Notepad replaced the accented e in Pele's Soccer with a , so note that above.

 

EDIT3: It's just an attachment now.

Attached is a list of overdumps (ROMs whose data is simply multiple copies of another ROM). Also attached is the tool I used to generate the list. Simply drop the .exe in your roms folder and run it, and it will report any overdumps (NOT dupes, though that can be easily changed!) to log.txt. Note that it searches *every* file, not just .a26 or .bin or whatever.

 

EDIT: Looks like some good info in this list - take a look.

 

OVERDUMP FOUND: Fishing Derby (Unknown) (PAL) (4K).bin is a dupe of Angeln I (AKA Fishing Derby) (Videospielkassette - Ariola) (PGP237) (PAL).bin

OVERDUMP FOUND: Cosmic Swarm (Unknown) (PAL) (4K).bin is a dupe of Ant Party (AKA Cosmic Swarm) (32 in 1) (1988) (Atari) (CX26163P) (PAL).bin

OVERDUMP FOUND: Casino (Unknown) (PAL).bin is a dupe of Blackjack (Gambling) (Paddle) (1977) (Atari, Bob Whitehead) (CX2651) (PAL).bin

 

etc.

On a whim I used Duplicate Finder to check across your hacks+homebrews and old era collections and found:

 

Fade Out (2004) prototype is in the old era collection (!)

Dukes of Hazzard (1983) (Atari, Mark R. Hahn) (CX2678) [a].bin from the old era collection is actually Better Dukes of Hazzard (Dukes of Hazzard Hack) (2003) (James Francis) from hacks+homebrews

Deadly Duck (1982) (20th Century Fox Video Games - Sirius Software, Ed Hodapp) (11004) [a].bin from the old era is actually Deadly Duck Supercharger Edition (Deadly Duck Hack) (2004) (Kurt Howe).bin from hacks+homebrews

 

You should probably remove those three to keep your collections clean. I may try Overdump.exe on the combined directories later but that is over 3000 files to check... : )

Clonespy does this as well. I like Clonespy as it tells you how many bytes the file is. I use this all the time to compare new dumps as well as HOM3.

Actually just looking at that list I noticed:

So your Seahawk alternate rom for Sancho is not an alternate rom after all. Remember these lists show 100% matches.

Thanks for the corrections, guys!

 

I had to split up my entire collection once, so it doesn't surprise me that there are a few leftovers from the new era in my Old Era collection.

 

I must have been testing the Fade Out ROM in my Old Era collection without taking it away.

 

Exactly the same ROM is also in my Hacks & Homebrews collection.

 

 

Hornpipe, are you 100% certain that the overdumps contain exactly the same data (to the byte) as the smaller sized versions?

 

I don't want to remove an overdump with (for example) a different on screen logo or a slightly altered sprite.

 

 

BTW: I also found this Video Life Hack in my Old Era collection, but I honestly don't know if it's really from the 1977 - 1992 period.

Any hacker: does this one ring a bell?

I don't want to remove an overdump with (for example) a different on screen logo or a slightly altered sprite.

The tool reports only files that contain exactly the same data as another file, but repeated. For example, if one file has ABCD then a file containing exactly ABCDABCD will be reported. (Incidentally it will also report an improperly-sized file containing e.g. ABCDAB but I don't think that is an issue with the collection). However other combinations fail the test and aren't shown.

 

Also note that I ran the tool after removing exact duplicates from the directory - so if e.g. roms A and B are 1:1 identical, and C is an overdump of A, it may be reported as an overdump of B. No big deal as it's redundant in either case.
