1. The DIY Dump: You purchase the physical USA cartridge of the "Top" game and dump it yourself using a Retrode or Sanni Cart Reader. You then compare your hash against the Ghostware DAT to see if you have the "Top" version.
2. The Public Domain Loophole: A small number of games in the "Top" set (unlicensed titles or those whose copyright has legally lapsed due to corporate dissolution with no successor) are freely distributable. Ghostware’s versions of Chessmaster or NCAA Basketball often circulate legally.

Strict Filtering: Unlike many "complete" sets that are cluttered with duplicates or bad dumps, Ghostware's collection is noted for having: No Duplicates: Only one optimized version of each game. No Betas: Primarily final retail versions.

Donkey Kong Country: A technical marvel of its time, utilizing pre-rendered 3D graphics that pushed the 16-bit hardware to its limit.
