*poke*
[h1] - hacked, number is just an id
--- this means that someone has changed things within the rom on purpose, changing textures or text, stuff like that.

[b1] - bad, corrupt, something wrong
--- this means that the ROM has been corrupted somehow during its journey from the cart to your hard drive.

[f2] - fixed, like copy protection removed
--- exactly what it says on the tin, copy protection and things have been removed to make the game compatible with emulators and/or copiers.

(PD) - public domain, freeware
--- usually a homebrew demo game, not officially released as a cartridge.
