Redump SNES vs. No-Intro: The Great Rival
Headered vs. Unheadered ROMs
: Old SNES copiers used to add a 512-byte header to ROM files. Modern emulators do not need this. No-Intro catalogs unheadered ROMs. If your game fails a hash check, it might just have an outdated header attached to it. redump snes
- Compare checksums against known-good databases (Redump.org, No-Intro, GoodTools dats) where permitted; note mismatches as potential revisions, hacks, or bad reads.
- Use a DAT file (No-Intro or Redump sets) to match titles and region codes; record the exact DAT name and version used.
- Maintain a local catalog (spreadsheet or database) with filenames, checksums, board photos, and provenance notes.
- Tag uncertain or unique dumps for further community verification.
