OK thanks for the infos, with all due respect you modified the dsp firmware images for various reasons which you consider legitimate and that's your right, while MESS didn't modify the images. Personally I am going along with the MAME and MESS way of not modifying images for any reason.
Whatever, as I said you do what you want with your emulator and I have no grief, I don't use it so I don't feel I need to have an opinion about it.
Regardless, keep up your redumping efforts, they're appreciated.
>There are a few games where they were released with DSP-1 firmware, and then with DSP-1B firmware
The MESS software list format handles those just fine without modifying any rom. We have two cartridge entries with same rom but different enhancement chip, using different hashes is not required. If MESS intends to use the cic firmware dumps someday we will handle them the same way and we won't need to modify any hash there again.
