Package: xmame-tools Tags: patch I noticed that there is a missing man page for romcmp in xmame-tools. Please find attached one I have created for inclusion.
I was unsure whether the tools for xmame would be in man section 1 (for executables) or section 6 (for games). As this tool is not a game, but game related, I have placed it in section 1 for now.

It will determine which ROMS are identical and which are the closest matches. This is useful when figuring out if a newly dumped ROM set is a clone of another ROM set. .\" OPTIONS chapter .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-d Enables a slower, more comprehensive comparison. .\" EXAMPLES chapter .SH EXAMPLES .B romcmp \fIjumpkids.zip\fP will output the following: 11 files 23.3c FIXED BITS (xxxxxx1x) 23.3c FIRST AND SECOND HALF IDENTICAL This tells us that the 23.3C ROM in Jump Kids is bad, and incidentally, it causes the missing sound in that game.
