Legally? By dumping them from the game carts you own. And you certainly do not ask for them here.

:-\ i dont know how. is there any way to port versions for my Copmuter into versions for my ipod?
-
No.
-
i dont have the rock boy emulator. i have games but i dont know how to put them on my ipod :-\ :-\ :-\

Rockboy is part of Rockbox. It's included in every build. Transferring files to your player is a simple process. It just shows up as a mass storage device, doesn't it?
-
i think so. im not to good with computers. :P

Will you please listen to the people that are trying to help you. You DO have the rock boy emulator
Rockboy is a part of every rockbox installation. There is nothing for you to go and look for. You can search these forums for much information on this topic or you could also read the bloody manual that people have taken time to build for you.
http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodnano2g/rockbox-buildch11.html#x14-23500011.3.9
As the link states, rockboy emulator will open / load automatically once you click on a rockboy file that you have loaded onto your player.

lol, why have an emulator if you dont have roms, rofl, mudducks

An emulator simply reproduces the operations that would be carried out by a piece of hardware. It is useful for running software written for different hardware. Simply having an emulator does not automatically give you the right to obtain software written for the emulated hardware.
Simply put, obtaining ROMs for a given emulator is outside of the scope of these forums. We don't support copyright infringement, so no such talk is permitted here.

lol, this being rockbox tho, does it take some special rom file format? cause if it does, your hosting a useless emulator with no roms, lol.
-
hi cool lol dude
Many people find it useful. If you don't so be it. Nobody cares reading just another pointless post.

It takes the ROMs that are stored on the cartridges.
EDIT: To clarify, it reads the contents of the ROMs (machine instructions) located inside of the cartridges. But I guess colloquially ROM has come to mean the actual storage device (read-only memory) as well as particular contents of said devices.
-
If I buy my own gameboy games, how is it even possible to get the .ROM stored on the cartridge onto the computer? Is there certain accessories that I can buy that the cartridge plugs into , and then a cable runs along it which can plug into your USB port on your computer so you can get it? Just curious how this works.
-
It's pretty much exactly as you've described. The one that I had used parallel port instead of USB, but that's about the size of it!
