Last Ninja Remix
I suggest the following "known errors" description for game Last Ninja Remix:
I also suggest renaming the TAP file to LastNinjaRemix(CrackedByZurasoft).tap.zip or something similar.
I'm aware this suggestion is kinda unusual since this is not an error in the game itself, just an error in the crack. However I think it's the right decision because there's naturally an implicit assumption that TAP and TZX files with the same name must have the same content, so it's important to warn players when they don't. For instance, The Tipshop does not provide POKEs for level 5 of this game assuming it's not available. Another option would be removing faulty TAP files entirely, but in this case I'm afraid sooner or later someone would provide the same TAP file again and we would be back to the same problem.
Yet another alternative would be to skip the "known errors" description suggested above and instead mention this problem in the TAP file itself, for instance renaming it to LastNinjaRemix(CrackedByZurasoft-MissingLevel5).tap.zip or LastNinjaRemix(Bug-Level5Missing).tap.zip or something else.
The "cracked" version by Zurasoft is missing level 5. Instead, level 6 appears twice in the tape.
The original release (with SpeedLock 7 protection) is OK and doesn't have this problem.
