This message is a reply to Rom header hacking basics? (The Dumper) posted from T.Reid posted at May 21, 2001 at 13:30:17
After searching the web, I found some docs on the different headers...I changed my Tetris 3 to wildcard/magicom format, and changed the header to:

"8000 0800 000 000 aabb 0400" I used '08h' for byte 2 beause 00001000b=08h. But it still dosen't work. I use inSNESt to find the SRAM/NTSC/slow rom fixes, and it either crashes or dosen't find any. I use SnesTool to do the same, and it finds a few, but I still only get a "NO COPY" screen.
