 the same ROM contents as the original prototypes.
+*: Actually, a few of them sought and received permission to sell from the original programmer.

 - C7050, C7051, C7060, C7061 (René van den Enden)

-These romhacks would be viable for inclusion since they were exclusively sold as repro cartridges:
- Western+: adds + graphics to gunfight

+These romhacks are viable for inclusion since they were initially sold as repro cartridges:

+- Space Monster+: adds + graphics to spacemon

 René made many more romhacks (bugfixes, PAL/NTSC conversions) released for free online, see:
