- [hX] - The game has been hacked
- [h1C] - Further identifies a hack as a cartname hack
- [oX] - An overdumped ROM image has more data than is actually in the cart. The extra information means nothing and is removed from the true image.
- [pX] - A pirated version of a ROM Image. Usually the copyright messages and company names are corrupted/removed.
- [tX] - The game has been supplied with a trainer
