Actually, not all of the others mean bad dumps. It was my understanding that "a" simply meant an alternative version of the game had been dumped. "o" means an overdump but all of the correct data is there. "p" is pirated but that only means that it's a dumped version that was leaked without support of the dumping team.

But when all is said and done, those are practically useless. I agree with paige, if I want a "complete set," I want a working version of each game available... I have no need for 7 bad dumps/hacks/pirate/overdumps of the same game.

HEAR HEAR.
The bad dump part is especially idiotic. Those bad dumps are copied over and over again so people can be complete. It is stupid. A bad dump is like your eprom reader took a crap. It is useless.
It would be like having 2 mp3 files.
Thriller.mp3
Thriller (bad nasty static with last 40 seconds missing).mp3
What is the POINT?
All the alternate console roms really need to get the BLEEP out of circulation. The only variants that need to be around are E, U, and J.
