trilidar Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Like the title says. I just ordered a Harmony cart and wanted to go ahead and get my files in order before it arrives. Yes I know I don't have to do this, but since it would only have to be done once: I wish to sort my ROMs by bank type (hopefully alleviating 99% of any loading issues). I've sorted the best I can, however I can't seem to locate useful info on which games relied on what type (for example, did all Activision carts-- except Pitfall 2-- use FE?). Any help would be greatly appreciated. tril Edited January 30, 2010 by trilidar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone else interested, the attached doc is invaluable. I believe there is some info missing from that document. Namely, there are a few games that were produced using different bankswitching methods in different cartridges. I believe these were Activision titles Robot Tank and The Activision Decathlon, and possibly also Space Shuttle. Edited February 24, 2010 by A.J.

Decathlon is FE, except for a PAL version that was released by HES. Also the the "Fixed" version of Decathlon in Rom's collection fixes the infamous pole vault glitch. Space Shuttle has 2 versions, FE and F8. The FE version is marked in Rom's collection as FE bankswitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
