OK, thanks, that's good to know.
When you say "game translations" I assume you're referring to games like Secret of Mana 2/Seiken Densetsu 3 which was only released in Japan but translated to English? So [ t1 ] would mean translation attempt #1? A game with [ b1 ] may not play all the way through because It's a bad dump? And I shouldn't bother with [ o ] either? Yeah, I was reading about No-Intro a few days ago, but I was curious as to why Neo-Geo AES isn't included as part of No-Intro since It's a console.
