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.

Ok, this is something I wanted to know for a very long time now.

Attached ROMs are [a]lternate versions of officially released ROMs, but it's not clear to me what exactly is the difference with the original version (marked with a ~ in my collection).

If someone could find this out for me, I would be a happy person.

These are the last alternates I'm uncertain of.

Came across an interesting rom called Spy Vs Spy. It is on a 4 in 1 compilation by Bit Corp. It is a hack of Chopper Command and I have added it if anyone is interested ;)

I have also added a rom called Kwibble which is suppossed to be a prototype of Quickstep (according to website I got it off) and the rom for Cosmic Avenger, again found on a 4 in 1 Bitcorp compilation which is just Star Master by Activision.

AFAIK these were already included in my collection a long time ago, Fox.

I'll double-check.

Thanks!

So is Kwibble truly the prototype for Quickstep? ;-)

Yeah Qwibble is one of those protos I still need to go through. Has anyone looked at to see what's different? I'm not too familiar with Quick Step to begin with.
