I edited some text in Pirates! Gold, but when I run the game I get the message: Checksum Incorrect! Why does this happen?

That's always going to happen, because you changed the game. The checksum, simply put, is there to verify that the game is intact. Nine times out of ten, an invalid sum doesn't mean anything to the game.

If you're running Genesis games, though, this could be a problem. There are tools to fix Genesis checksums, but as I've never really dealt with any Genesis games, I don't know what those tools are.

Thanks, I downloaded a checksum repair program and it worked.  Smiley
