Slightly off topic, but if someone could tell me one or two good (free?) programs to compare ROM files, that would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You can compare ROMs with Hack-O-Matic III. Get the latest version here.

Nukey,

I need some comparisions checks.

Would like to know if the attached proto's are different from the ROMs in my V7.0 collection, thus worth adding.

Would very much like to know.

Thanks in advance!

Both Sweat! roms in the zip match "Sweat! - The Decathlon Game (1 of 3) (Paddle) (1983) (Starpath Corporation, Scott Nelson) (13) (Prototype) ~.bin" in V7 collection. There are only differences in filler data.

Many thanks, Alex.

No need to add these then.

Any info on the other two?

Haunted House and Yars' Revenge protos are not in V7 collection. A simple file compare with the NTSC releases shows differences in almost all the addresses, which means that there are changes that cause a lot of code-shifting between the 2 versions.
A disassembly is needed to know exactly what has been changed.
