Post by LoaderLadyI'm new to Nintendo groups. What does ROM mean? I thought it was for
computers? I have it for SNES if that's what you're looking for and I
don't use it anymore...
Well, assuming you aren't being ironic in your response to the OP...
By ROM, he means a file that is created from the original ROM chip in
the SNES cartridge. The "ROM file" can then be used to play the game on
an emulator.
Creating and using ROM files is a grey area as far as the law is
concerned. It is usually frowned upon as piracy, but when you are
talking about "dead" systems such as the SNES, people will debate
whether it is good or bad.
Personally, I own a SNES with Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario Kart
and Super Mario World which are the only games I really want for it,
anything else can be bought on ebay for little money.
