Title: Naming convention of arcade roms - suffixes a b c h ?
Post by: SysopGrace on 06 May 2019, 00:51

I'm curious about the naming convention of arcade roms. Specifically the letters at the END of the filenames:

#1
h "H" - the letter H is a common one that I see but I do not understand how it is different or what the letter "H" here stands for? Often accompanies the below #2 ABC files as another "Set"

#2
a b c - these are often applied to roms with multiple "sets" and "alternate boards"
Are there any conventions on which one is the most recent revision?
