Question Probably the stupidest question ever from a newb

Hey I was thinkin and I can't seem to figure out how the hell people even create roms. HOW DO U CREATE A ROM? Like I'm not trying to make my own, but it just puzzles me how you could copy a nintendo 64 game to the pc. Do u need a special drive in ur pc or do u need somethin like a sdk or what?

it's called rom dumping .
people take various parts and make their own romdumping machines and put the cartridge in the rom dumper just like you would if you were putting it in the actuall system. and hook it up to their computer via, usb,pci. then the dumping begins. think of it the same way as you would make an iso for any disc system

Well, that's the more practical way of looking at it. The lawl itself states that you can only play backups of copyrighted material like that if you made the backup yourself.

EDIT: Haha, I said lawl.

This thread's question wasn't even that dumb, I bet most people don't know how to make roms. (but then again most people don't really care...*cough)
