Question about a ROM from Coolrom.com?

Question

Has anyone ever used the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Gameboy Advance ROM, as seen here:

http://www.coolrom.com/roms/gba/14497/Zelda_-_a_Link_to_the_Past.php

Does it have Four Swords on it? Would you recommend this ROM? If not, which ROM should I get? I already have ALTTP on my real Gameboy, I just want to play the Four Swords...

Answer 1

A couple of things to keep in mind.

1)It's illegal, UNLESS you own the actual game.

2) A lot of the roms are bad and have viruses.

3) Roms, after a while, take alot of your RAM and HARD DRIVE SPACE!!!!!!

~Um...I'm not sure, test it for yourself, if it doesn't work, completely delete it!

Answer 2

Have I ever used a ROM? Yes.



Do I recommend a ROM? No.



Downloading ROMs is video game piracy, which is illegal, even if the game is as old as it is. Helping you choose a ROM to download would be a crime within itself, because it would be telling you how to commit a crime.



However, I can tell you that the GBA version of Link to the Past has Four Swords on it.

Answer 3

Data in a optical storage media such as, CD ROM is written with the help of a laser of higher intensity which makes small "pits" in the reflecting surface e.g. Aluminium (which is mostly used ). For reading the information of the disk a laser of lesser intensity is used when the laser encounters a pit the laser is refracted and when it doesn't encounters a pit the intensity remains the same, the reflected laser coming out of the disk surface is received by a lens and converted to binary digits or bits which the computer can understand.
