![]() Some other "types" of headers are however essential, like the header in a zip file, similar with IPS. These are called copier headers or external ROM headers. This is an additional data written at the beginning of the ROM, which is a leftover data, that the copier needed when scanning the cartridge into the file. ROMs have headers because of the copiers. Which of course doesn't mean the header in a sence of what you consider as a header for ROMs. Do headers apply to SNES roms only, or are other platforms/portables affected as well? My rom patching days are on hold until I know for certain what to deal with.Īlso, can headers be added to or removed from ips patches, or does this only apply to roms? If both, which is recommended?"Everything" has a header. QuoteSorry for the necrothread, but something is not clear. Most of this info (with the exception of perhaps the rom hasher) is applicable to SNES games the game in question is MSX. Quote from: puzzledude on January 06, 2015, 04:42:56 PM This program is also very usefull, it tells you if you have a header as well as all hashes (file IDs) to verify if you have the correct original rom to patch to. The TUSH lets you know if the file has a header or not, and will remove it or add it, depends on what you want. The first thing to do before trying to edit or patch any game, is to remove the header but some games actually need one, since the creator of the ips decided to keep it. ![]() This is a nightmare, since all addresses are then shifted, but (for instance) the pointers point to the old locations, ignoring the header. The header is a leftover of the copier, which scaned the carteidge into the rom file and it needs additinal data written at the beginning of the file. ![]() ![]() I recently made a post saying that I can't run Metal Gear on fMSX, and someone said that it might be because the emulator requires either an unheadered or headered rom and the ROM i'm using isn't what it needs.Įmulators ignore the header, the external one anyway and display the basic data of the internal header. ![]()
