No, they hired a guy who had already made an emulator to make theirs. He stuck with the rom file format he already knew. Because the rom files are based on the same source (the released binary on the game cartridge), they are byte-for-byte identical, as you you'd expect.
Are you telling me that I'm reading this wrong?
