Nothing illegal about this thread at all (at least not yet). Eproms are read with an eprom reader/programmer. There is nothing illegal about it at all. To read an eprom you have to actually HAVE the eprom, and if you have it, then you are allowed to make a back up copy. Mame uses raw dumps of the data on each chip, named after what the chip is labeled on the boardset, and then the whole mess of files is zipped up (some games have MANY Roms, others only have one or two). |

Old ones will dump just fine with a $60 used programmer. I used to have one a while back. |
