Program for changing SMS ROMs header info

Hi,
What programme can one use to change the header info for SMS games? I've hunted around a bit, but havn't really found anything useful. I am asking cause the 'Miracle Warriors' rom's header is 'Miracle Warrior' and I am a perfectionist and I wanna change it :)
Thanks

Actually if your a profectionist, you will want to remove the header. Someone can correct me if I am wrong (Zoop?) but I belive that no copiers added headers and that the vast majority of the games don't have them. Those that do were added after the fact. You can probably just muck around in the last 512bytes (or first 512bytes, wherever the info is) if a header exists because that data is not used by any emulator that I know of.

As far as I know, SMS games don't have headers. If you want to change the name, open meka.nam (in your meka directory) find all instances of 'Miracle Warrior' and change them to 'Miracle Warriors'. The next time you load the game, it should change to the right name.
Bye! :)

Ah, you could have told me ;)
It's now fixed for next version of Meka.

Aha, I just assumed that they had something built into them like N64 ROM headers etc. Oh well :)
