A checksum is a simple addition of all the bytes with the top bits chopped off to give you a 4 digit hex number e.g. EA46 A signature starts with a seed (e.g. 0000) and each byte is sort of xor'd and shifted into the seed, to give you a result. A checksum will miss double errors in different bytes, where they cancel each other out, whearas a signature (depending on the xor function used to create it) can be statistically proven to spot certain patterns of errors. If a signature is right, you're virtually guaranteed the ROM is OK. Checksums are a bit dodgy by comparion.

David L Haynes gathered a bunch of video game information together and for a while was the site/source for information (especially after Al K took the Spies site offline). I *THINK* he was getting harassed because some of the information on his site was copyrighted so he let his site go but sold the contents on DVDs at cost to diseminate the information. I think the best place to get to most of the files (bandwidth and uptime) is http://arcarc.xmission.com/. At 04:12 AM 8/25/2005, you wrote: >What's the deal with the DVDs?
