Dumb question, but can somebody explain to me how extracting the NES ROMs work?
I have the Virtual Console release of Super Mario Bros. 3 and would like to extract the ROM for personal usage (more specifically to run on Retroarch's NES emulators and to apply ROM hacks to the image), much like I did with my GameBoy ROMs, but I don't understand how it works. All I can gather is that the ROM is separated into two files of some sort that I barely understand.
I've tried taking a look at the tool on the first page but can't seem to figure out if it's possible to convert the 3DS' NES ROM into something else.
Can somebody perhaps break that down for me?
