Preservation Through Verification: A Comprehensive Technical Guide to Redumping the Nintendo SNES/SFC Library
- GoodSNES (GoodSet): The old standard. It prioritized quantity over quality. You’ll find hundreds of hacks, overdumps, and bad dumps labeled [f], [h], or [b]. It’s chaotic.
- No-Intro: The previous gold standard for carts. No-Intro focuses on removing bad dumps and "intro" cracktros. They are excellent, but their focus is solely on the software (the ROM data) as it exists in the wild.
- Redump: The new sheriff in town. Redump applies their disc-logic to carts. They require multiple verification dumps from different dumpers using specific hardware (like the Kazzo or Sanni Cart Reader). If a ROM isn't verified by three independent sources, it doesn't go in the database.
- Disc Image: The
.sfcfile (zipped). - Clrmamepro Dat: The DAT file containing the hash info.
- ROM Info String: The internal header info (extracted via uCON64).
How to Verify Your SNES ROMs Against Redump
- Dumper Software: Use the software recommended for your specific hardware (e.g., RetrodeConfig, Total GB Flasher software).
- ROM Management Tools:
- Support for accurate bus timing and signal levels.
- Ability to read mapper/co‑processor ROM chips (e.g., separate mask ROMs).
- Optionally read and dump save RAM and battery-backed data.
- Ability to produce bit‑exact dumps and raw dumps with metadata.
to filter these databases, creating a "perfect" set with only one version of each game per region. Preservation Status SNES Projects redump snes
