Juniel Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 OK. So, How do these 'Dumpers' make it happen? I first found out about Emulation during the year 2001. I was quite surprised that you can play KOF97 on PC. Then my brother started trying MUGEN so in effect, I got a piece of that as well. Eversince I got into Emulation, I kept wondering how it works... So...HOW? How do these lovely(?) people make ROMs? Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 With EPROM readers.They remove the chips and use the EPROM readers to dump the binary data to a file.Often this requires adapters for custom chips, and some other extra hardware.It can be quite a complex process. But thats a general idea of what it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iori Yagami Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 making roms = easy. you just read the data off of the cartridge. emulation is the hard part. an emulator essentially translates the commands the ROM image give from the assembly language of its platform, to the language of it new platform.
