Total Posts: 72 | Since Andy locked the topic, i didnt have time to ask how you would go about dumping the ROM from your cartridge, going on the fact i have no software that would be able to send/recieve it, or a device that could even plug into the cart.
Figures when i ask omething, the topic gets locked by Admin =/

There are ROM dumper kits available on the internet which you can purchase and make backup of your original carts. Search Google to find out more details. You can expect to pay around $100-200 for a good ROM dump kit and they will usually work with only onte type of carts. Please don't carry any further ROM discussions on our public forums.

Total Posts: 2486 | Sorry that we can't discuss that but ROMs can bring many legal troubles which aren't worth the risk, just like any other illegal software or copyrighted material. Just buy an old console on eBay if you'd like to play the classic games, you'll enjoy it a lot more that way.
This is meant to be informative not anal from our admin side, please understand that.

Total Posts: 2486 | Well, they're technically not illegal since TI offers them for download. However, TI does not want other websites to server the ROM images and reasons are their own. Personally, I don't like the new ROMs and don't know what I would have done coz TI only serves the latest version.

The OS upgrade files don't have the boot page. (Or the certificate page for that matter, but the ROM images can't read them so they're just junk.) |

Total Posts: 2007 | So you're saying you could manufacture a ROM (were it not illegal) out of an OS and a boot page template? |

Total Posts: 2486 | Though, the os's you can get from TI website supposedly work on VTI as well so that's pretty much the same thing. As with non-flashable calcs its a different story as one can't obtain a ROM w/t dumping it.
