| xfgle.hgp, xfgle.hgp.bak | The `xfgle.hgp` file contains the ROM "shortcuts" on the main menu for each game system. The `xfgle.hgp.bak` file appears to be a test version of this file that was not removed from the firmware before being sent to production |
| TSMFK.TAX | This is a ROM list file similar to the other `.tax` files, except it is built at run-time from the ROM files in the user roms folder. The file is regenerated each time the device boots |
### Sounds
There are two sound files in the `20230420` firmware, both in raw signed 16-bit PCM format (little-endian, mono, at 22050 Hz). The SF2000 seems to play the files back at an incorrect sample rate vs. the raw data; if you want to customise the background music, resample your audio to 21543 Hz, and then speed the audio up to 22050 Hz, using the resulting audio as the raw data (credit to `notv37#4200` in Discord for doing the math on that).
