== Mr. Tuff scene release you found is listed incorrectly in No-Intro? ==

[[News/Mr_Tuff_%2B_Donations/Discord|Here]] are you saying the Mr Tuff scene release is listed with a different ROM to the ROM found in a copy of the scene release you got a hold of? If so, could you send me this copy of the scene release? --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 15:07, September 29, 2019 (EDT)

:Hey there, I don't think I follow you 100%. Basically what I discovered was that the December ROM, complete with trainer and some other modifications to the ROM, can be traced back to a specific scene release around March 1995 (ATX-TUFF). This ROM matches Mr. Tuff (Beta-Dec1994) (M5) [t1].smc (from GoodSNES) but without the copier header. I only said that the ROM build itself (not the changes) matches the one in no-intro, but it's not the same exact ROM. All versions of the December ROM in no-intro/GoodSNES up until this point were modified from the original dump, the most obvious change was that the high score table was altered. I can't confirm that ATX-TUFF was the original release since GoodSNES includes a couple of other variations of the same ROM, but it's only one I could confirm. You can grab the original scene release I found [https://www.mediafire.com/file/5hubw8pvunkxtkk/ATX-TUFF.LHA/file here]. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

== Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I (Feb 9, 2010 WiiWare prototype) ==

Hi. I read at Sonic Retro news article saying that you were the one who first posted about [[Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I (Feb 9, 2010 WiiWare prototype)|this proto]] getting a scene release. But other than the scene release itself, is there any evidence for this originating from the WiiWare service itself? Its very possible that this is the case, as the Wii CDN version number of the final version of the game is above 0, and title files can be fully removed from Nintendo CDNs - its happened a few times with other titles. But it would be nice to know if there is any other evidence, and even better, find someone who downloaded it from the Wii Shop who could make a redump. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 13:12, November 19, 2019 (EST)

== Talking about the Hebereke's Popoon American prototype hoax. ==

So the ROM of this hoax is similar to the one I have on my computer on "D:\prototypes", having the same filename, which was meant for a future April Fools hoax on archive.org. I used FlexHEX to compare the two files and the only difference is one, sInGlE, BYTE! And that one byte is a value in the ROM's header. So it seems like someone used the same tools I used (i.e. ucon64 and HxD, the latter being likely used to change the only different byte), or that my data just got leaked (the latter being a coincidence, since "Hebereke's Popoon (USA) (Beta)" was mentioned the day before I made the April Fools ROM on a No-Intro SNES ROM collection from archive.org all the way back in 2017). --[[User:LucianoTheWindowsFan|LucianoTheWindowsFan]] ([[User talk:LucianoTheWindowsFan|talk]]) 19:55, March 15, 2021 (UTC)
