Is there a way to check if a certain ROM is the good one of a specific game?
Some time ago, I already had some issues with Cowering's GoodTools and now I found another curiosity:
Take the game "Soccer". The ROM that is declared as "Soccer (JU)" (i.e. the "real" version) in GoodNES 2.01 is declared as "Soccer (JU) [b1]" in GoodNES 3.14.
So far so good. But you know which one is the good ROM according to GoodNES 3.14? It's the one that in 2.01 was declared as "Soccer (GC)" (the Game Cube version).
How is this even possible? I mean, if 3.14 has it right, then how was it ever possible for 2.01 to declare it as the Game Cube rip? If I ripped a game from an actual original NES cartridge, then how on earth is it possible that anybody took my image and said: "That must be the ROM image from the Game Cube release"?
Besides, in 3.14, the Game Cube release is missing in the list.
So, how do these discrepancies come to be? And is there a way to actually, reliably check the version of the ROM?
