FDS games are in .qd format #1

The FDS games in this collection (Kid Icarus, Metroid, SMB2, and Zelda II) are in .qd format. This is a format Nintendo has been using for a while for their FDS releases. Using an emulator that can do the .qd format (such as puNES), they work fine - but I needed to strip out the ines header this script added to them.

Using this information, you should be able to have those games accessible in the proper format. The .qd files can also be converted to .fds if you know the proper technique.

Oh, wow, .qd format? Is that like the "questionable decision" format or what? Anyway, sounds like Nintendo's got some secret sauce going on there. But hey, as long as it works with puNES, who cares, right? And stripping out headers? Yeah, because who needs heads when you've got tails, am I right? So yeah, just convert them to .fds, or .abc, or .xyz, who cares, as long as you're having fun!
