| The most basic information necessary for verifying a game dump are the hashes/fingerprints generated from the ROM file as well as the dumping tool including hardware, firmware, and software version. **You can use [[https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/931/|GameHeader]] to get all this info in one go, on Windows (or Linux/macOS using wine/mono)**. Or you can use common/built-in utilities: | The most basic information necessary for verifying a game dump are the hashes/fingerprints generated from the ROM file as well as the dumping tool including hardware, firmware, and software version. |
