Hi im new to the forum and im wondering how emulators and roms actually work.
I know i cant ask for roms or how to make them so im not. If this comes off like i am then dont answer or delete it this isnt the purpose of the question.
What i want to know is how do roms get from the cartridge to the computer?
Since making roms is illegal if you dont own the cartridge and reverse engineering the cartridges to get the data is also (probably im not 100%) illegal too how can this huge emulation ring that exists online exist at all?
From everything i've seen its illegal to make roms, and you get banned from most places for asking, what on earth do emulator users do? Make emulators for the sake of it?
Im a newbie to the whole process but have some degree of computer understanding (higher than the average user i would like to think)
Can anyone tell me anything about all this?
Thanks in advance if you can.
P.S. Sorry about my grammar
