I was loading a game on my Snes9x v1.41-1 for Windows, and I noticed while it was starting up that it said "Bad Checksum". There is only one game that I have that this happens to, I was just wondering what it ment 'cause the game seems to work fine

most time is because is a hacked game or something, you should not be worried about it, that happens in many games and they work perfectly

It means that the game is recognized, but is the incorrect size, or not the size the emulator expected.

Probably a bad rom/hacked rom. Scan with GoodSNES/NSRT to identify it, and get a better dump if necessary.

In my experience, no.
