Notes

Uniquely Identifying Games

GB games don't have unique internal game IDs or serial numbers. The following 2 fields can be used to uniquely identify a game:

1. The Internal Title, which is at offsets 0x0134 through 0x013E/0x0143 (inclusive) of the ROM header
2. The Global Checksum, which is at offsets 0x014E through 0x014F (inclusive) of the ROM header

The game folders within games are named as follows (i.e., these 2 fields delimited by .....):

INTERNAL_TITLE.....GLOBAL_CHECKSUM

• Whitespace in the internal title is stripped
• Special characters in the internal title are replaced with _
