Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

there is an tool out there that can remove that on any rom file.

Quoted from mbaumle:

I have the patch files for it sitting on my computer, but I don’t know how to either patch or burn them into an existing rom.

The patch files were provided in an Xdelta3 format. Using the original ROM and the patch file, use Xdelta (xdelta.org) to create the new ROM file.

Quoted from Gozzle:

Hi, if anyone dosn't have the original security chip for their TOM, or wants a security chip which is compatible wit the 1.4H ROM version, check out the Universal Security Chip which can be configured for both ROMs. Yes, one chip for both configurations!

This looks great! Are there benefits to using this over anypic.exe?

Quoted from _Zaphod77_:

Unofficial updates do get used in tournaments all the time.
But licensed official updates have two advantages.
1) they are certified by the licensee as production quality.

Ok this is Rich. It must be true given all of the STELLAR quality products that PPS has licensed over the years

I'd trust an improved rom made by some anonymous hacker in his basement over something PPS put their name on. Now Soren is amazing - and all of his rom updates have been great and he's super talented, so PPS got lucky to have him as an asset in this case. But typiycally PPS doesn't give a shit about quality or complaints. They just want their licensing fee and that's the end of it.

Quoted from AndHart120:

I’m sort of surprised No Good Gofers hasn’t been worked on yet. Seems like the code wasn’t ever complete for it.

That would be nice. If you're really serious about improving that game, see the entire software re-write here:

Soren was doing these for free before the agreement with PPS... It just seems like a lot of work for one person to spend their free time on with little to no benefit for them.
