Hm, I'm not sure what to make of that. It's true that there have been references to other games in other Virtual Console files (Earthbound references I think). Not sure what the purpose is for having a list like that.
Another thing I realized is that we can probably get those encrypted/different versions of SNES games I've heard about - like SMRPG. I don't know how to find the header for those though, but we can still dump the memory and take a peek. |

Well... thanks to Backbone, PS3 and Xbox owners have Spider-Man in Revenge of Shinobi, instead of Ladybug-Dude. =PExcept Revenge of Shinobi isn't in the Ultimate Collection??? On-topic, has anyone noticed Golden Axe III appears to use a unique rom for the EU VC release? It doesn't match any of the existing GAIII roms. Interesting to know what got altered considering it was a Japan-only release (and the US VC release doesn't use the Sega Channel version, but rather the Jap rom).

Just bumping this topic to let people who were specifically interested in the patch files - but Sonic & Knuckles doesn't have anything.
But the ROM is weird. I think they just added all of the games that could be locked on into one SGD file (sonic3/sonick/sonic2 all in one). You can grab all the files from the WAD here. |

Intriguing indeed. Firing it up through Fusion just loads Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Although according to Wikipedia's S&K article, this VC release is supposed to be able to detect if you already purchased Sonic 1/2/3 and allow a "virtual lock-on" to those titles. But I don't know much more than that.

That ROM is just:
Sonic & Knuckles + Sonic 3 (Japan) + Sonic 2 (v.1) + Sonic & Knuckles upper memory |
