Questions about version numbers on some ROMs?

[LazerTag]

Does it make sense to keep all the various versions ROMs?

For example, Does the Zelda V.1.1 ROM play better or even more compatible then Zelda V.1.2?



thanks for any insight on this

Diffrent versions just mostly keep bugfixes from previous versions. So the best is to get the latest if you can.

I've always wondered this too... I read a few months back a similar thread. The version nuumbers relate to real game version numbers. Therefore a higher number is usually a bugfixed game. So, 1.2 should be better than 1.1. BUT, that doesn't mean it works better in the emu. You'll have to check ini notes or just try them to see if they both work.
PJ64's RDB by Smiff is an excellent database of game specific issues etc. Be sure to try that out first. Anyone else want to comment.

To be honest though - All i really care about is Banjo Tooie. I'm pissing my pants in anticipation of playing this game !! Wait wait wait.

Afaik, all newer versions works as good as the old ones atm. No special game has been noted.

In that case it must be best to use the higher numbered ones as they are bugfixed releases...
If theres no known issues about rom versions, then use the latest...

Is this something that is in the FAQ ? Maybe it should go in if its not already ?

Hitman your wait for tooie is very nearly over as Azimer and an anonomous person have fully cracked it. In Apollo beta 1 it runs great - just head over to the apollo forum to see

Thanks for the info on this.

I had 3 different versions of Zelda OoT. Not that space is a major issue, but wasting another 60 meg on one game (considering each rom is about 30 meg in size) just didn't make any sense.
