NES & SNES Classic Edition (Mini) ROMS

[zcal]

Not sure if this is the right topic for this question, but is it really preferable to list dumps in the DoM as being from the mini console if they've been patched with SPC data from another dump? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to list dumps that were gotten without requiring the use of another ROM, like what you get from wheatevo's wiiu-vc-extractor? I wouldn't expect that such dumps would be considered "clean", but would have a status similar to an overdump or something to signify that the dumping tool/technique didn't create a true representation of the data but modified it in some way. Pulling data from another dump to patch these ROMs and then labelling the dump as being from the mini console just seems misleading.

We had a very similar one already. My reply to that:

We have a few ways to verify that these rebuild ROMs are the last state where they still were in SFC format and not one of the SFROM formats being used in the last step.
#1 Checksum. The internal checksum became 100% fine by doing the rebuilt.
#2 identical to later releases like Switch Online.

I would call that one a format conversion SFROM -> SFC

Thanks. I replied in the other topic.

JADE.sfc = Legend of Zelda.sfc -> BAD Checksum, 1 Byte diff to 2024_e.sfc on Switch Online, identical to mnml's Wii VC rebuild (no transfer error that time ^^)

Comparing the retail US ROM to the Switch and VC/Mini ones, Switch is one byte closer to retail. So Nintendo unhacked one byte for the Switch release. I wonder why. Perhaps both ROMs should be added. We have multiple dump sources for both ROMs.

JACE.sfc = Donkey Kong Country.sfc -> BAD Checksum, Not yet on Switch Online and thus not verifyable...

Donkey Kong Country from Switch Online is identical to Classic Edition and mnml 's VC restored ROM https://hastebin.com/raw/oliqidipol.
