Getting ROMs |
|
Emu8x requires a ROM file. In order to obtain one, you must run what is known as a "ROM dumping program." For further details, read the
ticalc.org instructions. Upon a successful dump, you will have a .rom or .bin file that is 32 KB in size for the 81, 128 KB in size for the 82/85, or 256 KB in size for the 83/86.
