I was wondering where I might be able to figure out what the letters at the end of ROM files names mean. I'm not talking about the file extentions, I know what those are. Here is an example from a set of NES roms of what I mean:
RC Pro-Am (E) (PRG0) - what does the e and prg0 mean?
RC Pro-AM(PC10) - what does pc10 mean?
etc... sometimes the name is just followed by a U
Anyway there are different letters that proceed the rom name and I was just wondering if there is a way to figure it all out. For every game there are like 5 - 10 different versions and I can't tell them apart.
Thanks

it's fairly self-explainatory....
(E) is the region code.... so that's the eurpoean release
(PRG0) means program rev 0..... that's some sort of revision name, not as important
(pc10) stands for playchoice 10. So it's a hack of the playchoice arcade rom ready to run in you nes emulator.
(U) is exteremely obvious it's stands for U.S. release man.
