Well, I've spent about an hour or so on google looking for a way to decompress or somehow open roms into an editable form.
Having found nothing on the subject, I've wandered into emutalk because you're community appears to be very knowledgable.
What I'm looking to do is somehow open up the rom files (specifically those that work with Project64) so that I can edit details about them, such as extract .bik movies or replace them with custom ones, or perhapes even replace meshes with lower-poly copies of the original, making the game run a bit smoother.
I'm decently sure that once upon a time there was a way to do this (as I've seen a large variety of homebrew SNES roms -- though I'm aware that we're talking about N64 roms and they're going to be much harder to work with most likely).
Any help that you guys can offer me would be greatly appreciated, as right now I'm left hoping for some magical sort of "WinROM" program to appear.
