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?

**Macca** · 02-23-2006, 07:26 PM

you need to make a machine that copies the data off the cart and transfers it to pc

playa4life352 · 02-23-2006, 07:28 PM

And who has made this machine b4? and ne pictures of this?

**Macca** · 02-23-2006, 07:32 PM

i dont know why? and for what system?

**Trigun** · 02-23-2006, 07:34 PM

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

playa4life352 · 02-23-2006, 07:39 PM

So do u know any1 who has a rom dumper? and can i just google rom dumper and i'll find 1? or can i ebay it and find 1?

**Macca** · 02-23-2006, 07:43 PM

why do you want to buy one?

playa4life352 · 02-23-2006, 07:46 PM

Cuz i dunno how 2 make 1. Like for n64, would u have 2 hardwire like a mad man with a usb cable to make a dumper?

**Trigun** · 02-23-2006, 07:47 PM

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.

**Trigun** · 02-24-2006, 05:11 PM

lawl!!!

**PopcOrn DeVil** · 02-25-2006, 12:30 AM

SeikenZ · 02-25-2006, 02:42 PM

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)
