I have no clue, but I played the 1.0 version i'm sure, and it was a sexcellent game.

I can tell you the difference between Donkey Kong Country 1.0 and 1.1.

You can turn Winky and Expresso (The frog and ostrich) into Rambi (The rhino). I figured this out myself and it didn't work on cartridges my friends got that Christmas (I got a November '94 copy)

Honestly, you never know all the differences because it's a secret that different versions even exist. I told the ROM database creators about the existance of a second version of Killer Instinct because the one included with the SNES Killer Instinct bundle did not function with the XBAND (SNES multiplayer modem). They didn't believe me until years later, when some guy "happened" accross one at a flea market, dumped it and was surprised to find out that it was different. It made Cherryrom's "ROM of the Fortnight."

BTW, the [!] means that it is a confirmed good dump and not a corrupted ROM. It's in the GoodSNES readme file (The database which created the naming nomenclature/schema). The creators of the database basically dumped their own copy and did a byte-for-byte comparison, or discovered the new version with their own dump. It means that they did not stumble accross a modified or corrupted ROM on the Internet, though all known modified and corrupted ROMs are also added to the database (The GoodSET includes all known beta versions and ROMs with unknown origins also).

Common! Someone reply! It was a 1337 answer and I want some recognition of that!

You probably copied that from a web page.

Usually, version upgrades change the cheats that you're allowed to use, and whatever glitches present in the original.

Yeah, right. Notice how many Nintendo posts I participate in? Proud owner of personal cartridge backup and simulation equipment here.

It's illegal!

 

[Amorphus]

does it count as abandonware yet?

Secret of Mana rocked

 

[bpctech]

Secret of mana was such an awesome game. I remember the first time I played it at my friend's house, I was so addicted. The very next day I stayed home from school sick and I begged my mom to take me to the store and buy that game, she actually did too.

Wow i'm impressed i still remember this so clearly, it was close to 10 years ago...

Absolutely not. You are entitled by law to a copy as a personal backup. I use this right all the time. Notice my sig? I buy broken cartridges! Nintendo tries to go above the law and say that it doesn't apply to silicon ROM chips. Well then, why does it apply to discs when CDs didn't exist back when the law was made? Nintendo is not above the law, so they have never allowed this to be tested in court.

No. Cartridges are still available all over, and they will certainly expect fans of the new GBA game to hunt down the old games in the series. People don't throw away their old SNES's when they get something new. They'll probably release "emulated" versions on the PS2 or something like they did with Chrono Trigger on the PSX (Still don't know how a PSX could possibly emulate SNES but the ROM was on the disc).
