WadGen is a utility that comes with Doom 64 EX that will take the data from the ROM and output the necessary game files needed to run the game. Doom64 EX does not provide the ROM and any emails or PMs sent requesting for the ROM will be ignored. You can purchase tools such as Doctor_V64 or Gameshark to dump the ROM from your Nintendo 64 cartridge.

In order to play Doom 64 EX, you must acquire the game’s ROM. And many will argue that recycling game cartridges for this purpose is detrimental for historical reasons, but in my opinion the mass produced garbage sports games are better off being repurposed in order to bring some relatively recent technical marvels to light in cartridge form.ĭoes Doom 64 EX include the actual game data or IWAD?Ībsolutely no. Usually the asking prices aren't unfair at all. You can argue that selling repros or unlicensed games in general is wrong altogether, but it does take resources, effort, special equipment and time to actually make the carts. The Wolf3D demo was deliberately made available to everyone for free right from the beginning, so we're not talking about some rare demo or proto that's being preserved here.I can't see it being terrible for people putting this on cartridge and selling it as long as they label it as Shareware with the fact that it's only the first 8 levels in very clear text (leaving the secret levels and 2nd episode as surprises as they're intended to be). Bullshit, the sellers know exactly what they're putting on the carts. I've seen sellers give descriptions that say: 'I don't know if its a complete game or not'. Its still terrible to sell the Wolf3D demo. Maybe they had a proper system in place to have their data catalogized and it would've survived the decade either way. I know that Sonic Crackers was released on western BBS and survived to the HTTP era, but the Sonic 2 beta was definitely not seen on early BBS systems. Then again I don't know what infrastructure, if any, the Chinese rom dumpers had. But the bootlegging made the data more common and thereby surviving until it became discovered by the western audience. Otherwise, I suspect the initial dumped ROM (may be dating as far back as 1992) could have been lost in the mists of time before it could be made popular once HTTP ROM sites became a thing. They were what you said: repro carts of a WIP (version of the) game. Sega made a cart and people dumped the rom, but here some idiot took the rom and made a cart out of it.The only reason the Sonic 2 beta cart made it into rom sites is because the Chinese were actively bootlegging it as the demo version of the game, for 7-8 years. Totally not about what I said, people dumping the Sonic 2 beta cartridge can not be compared to Joe Average making a repro cart of a wip game.
