ok i have been told that there are not stupid questions so here is one.

what hardware would i need to rip my own roms from my existing carts.
i have most of them but as always there are a few that i have not found for whatever reason.

thanks

I dont know if it comercial or nor (maybe around Japan...) but there are specifics drives connecting to a PC with a rom place on it....But I really dont know how to build it.
You should just have a look around the net to see if there are some available...But I heard its a hard work 'coz sometimes the cartiges are protected against "direct copy"

see you ;)
 
Yes, you can buy those but they are awfully dear. A better solution, if you are good at soldering and electronics (I am not), is to build one for yourself.
You did not mention what platform you have and you want to dump roms from,
but there are projects on building such devices for SMS, SNES, GB and probably others. I have build myself a SMS cart reader though I havent gotten it to work yet (only because I do not actually *understand* it, I just built it according to a tutotial).
Moreover, there are home-made cards which even allow dumping of roms from more systems, which looks very yummy, look around :)
