It will determine which ROMS are identical and which are +the closest matches. This is useful when figuring out if a newly dumped +ROM set is a clone of another ROM set. +.\" +.\" OPTIONS chapter +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-d +Enables a slower, more comprehensive comparison. +.\" +.\" EXAMPLES chapter +.SH EXAMPLES +.B romcmp jumpkids.zip +will output the following: + + 11 files + 23.3c FIXED BITS (xxxxxx1x) + 23.3c FIRST AND SECOND HALF IDENTICAL + +This tells us that the 23.3C ROM in Jump Kids is bad, and incidentally, +it causes the missing sound in that game. +.\" +.\" SEE ALSO chapter +.SH SEE ALSO +mame(6) |
