First post here...

I was looking through the ROM for the Game Genie for NES, and I noticed that it seems to use the graphics from Bubble Bobble three to four times as some sort of padding. Can anyone else confirm this by checking other GG ROMs?

Hm- I just looked through my copy of GENIE.NES and I don't see Bubble Bobble graphics, but instead it seems to repeat itself a bunch of times (both in the data and "graphics" sections)... I wonder if there are multiple versions of the Game Genie NES ROM floating around?

The Game Genie used a very small ROM. The only reason the data is duplicated several times is because many NES emulators cannot handle ROMs below a certain size. The Bubble Bobble data was almost certainly added by a dumper to pad the ROM to a usable size.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
