Disclaimer:  You  use  this  program  at  your  own risk. I am not and will not
be  responsible  for anything that happens if you use it. This program uses the
LFN unit for Borland Pascal, written by Mr Andreas Killer.

Well  now  -  if  you  own  a  GameBoy  (or a GB emulator :) and a flasher tool
(allowing  you  to,  heh  heh,  write your own cartridges with GameBoy ROMs you
downloaded  from  the  Internet :), you might like to know something about your
ROMs  -  things  like their correct titles, checksums, origin, whether they are
good or bad dumps... etc. This little utility can tell you all those things and
more.  Just  type:  GBRR <rom_name.ext> to use it. For instance, you could try:
"GBRR  C:\GB\Slot\Aladdin  (US).gb".  (The  program  can  use  paths  and  long
filenames!). Or you might just run the program and type the ROM name (and path,
if  needed)  when it asks you to do that. I'm not a programmer, so don't expect
too much from this little tool. :)

Program history:
July  2000  -  bought a GBC and a "flasher" hardware. Thought to make something
else than just playing. Employed my 31337 Pascal sk33lz to write a program that
could - whisper in awe! - read the file name and the title of a GB ROM. Noticed
how  useless  that  was,  found  some GB ROM specs, wrote v0.0 of the program.
Found more info, wrote v1.0. Found even more info, released v1.0. Threw in the
GameBoy  chars  (you MUST view this in full screen to see them! Press Alt-Enter
if  you  are  in  a  window  now!),  the  funny  effect,  and  this history and
information - v1.1 was born.

FUN  FACT:  in  my  native  language,  the  word  "sram"  is  a verb and means,
literally,  "I'm  taking  a dump". But, believe it or not, this is NOT why this
program  writes  of  "RAM  size"  instead  of  "I'm-taking-a-dump size"! I just
thought it would look better (ROM/RAM... looks nicer than ROM/SRAM, doesn't it?
Anyway, CUL8R! :)
