No, you'd be 100% wrong. The pirate cartridge was for the NES, not Famicom. Why would they make a pirate cart in Japan when you can just buy the disk and play the original? For that matter, why bother hacking it to work on a cartridge in the first place if you'd just distribute it in Japan? It doesn't make sense. The pirate cartridge was for American and European NESes, that's it.

World 9 is the easiest set of levels in the entire game.

(btw, the aforementioned pirate SMB2j cart lets you select the world by the A and B buttons )

Sometimes Gentoo is quite a bit more annoying than it is convienent. See attachment.

Upgrade to expat broke it.. Most of the time major library upgrades don't change filenames in order for compatibility, but not expat. Anyway basically I have to wait for 136 programs to compile all over again. That's the hardest part, waiting.

Also, what HH said although intelligent arguments (read: not flames) against Gentoo are fine.

Well traditionally you soldier together your own cartridge reader to plug into your computer's serial port to dump the ROM contents, or even dedicated dumpers for each ROM chip (in the case of multiple chips which was common on NES, Genesis, SNES, N64; also perhaps for dumping BIOSes to use in true emulators).

Starting in the Game Boy Color and Nintendo 64 days, it has become common for commercial products to become available in the grey market for dumping ROMs. The quality and accuracy is usually questionable and for smart buying you depend on daring people who might or might not be legimate to report on them.

There's also similar things for disc-based systems. For example, PlayStation discs are CD-ROMs, PS2 ones are DVD, PS3 will be Blu-ray. Basically that means the whole PlayStation line so far can have the game data read just by having a standard computer drive. I think both Xboxes are DVD-based, but I'm not sure. For GameCube, most DVD drives won't read them due to non-standard components before the first track, but there are also exploits in PSO to dump discs. (Note that BIOS dumping usually involes the other methods of soldiering pins and putting them in a serial port, etc; usually useful for true emulation and not for high-level-emulation (aka HLE; exploits the fact that modern console games are done in C or C++ so it emulates a runtime library instead of the system)).

Strangler: Worlds A-D are difficult

IR: Something makes me doubt that Nintendo didn't release SMB2j in North America or Europe for technical reasons, as several other games were converted from the Famicom to the NES with seemingly ease, plus the fact that a bunch of pirates were able to convert the game without the expertise of Nintendo.

Almost. Here, the process of fixing it is nearly fully automated. On Windows often the only resort to "fixing" the problem is by reinstall the operating system.

It's not the first thing to do it. Just remove Internet Explorer (from Windows 95, Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000, Windows 2000/XP/2003, another for Windows 2000/XP)

Automatic Updates works independently of IE, and there are replacements for other components built in that use IE (MyUninstaller, etc)

DS piracy already exists in a tangable, usable form. I doubt anything could be done to make it easier at this point. BGNG's work has nothing to do with piracy.

It will still start during the Windows boot process. It makes sense when you think of the fact that IE seems to start the UI quickly even though it's generally slow all the time.

There probably would be so many methods to removing Internet Explorer if the only reason was to reduce resource consumption. Having IE start at Windows boot is a security hazard in itself.

It'd probably be better off to wait for Nintendo Revolution to come out and stuff, generic N64 emulator designed for generally any N64 game. It'd be interesting to see when somebody cracks the download+purchase scheme for the Revolution and makes it possibly to upload your own NES/SNES/N64/TG16/Genesis ROMs to the console

A new computer will be much better.

There's nothing special about adding RAM, making sure it's the right type and speed as HH mentioned. There might be BIOS limits on the size of hard disk; 8.7GB, 32GB, 64GB, 127GB are common limits. That machine is likely to have an 8.7 or 32GB limit. Plus if it's not Windows 95 OSR2, you can't use all the space above 2GB in one partition (FAT16's limit on MS-DOS is 2GB; Win95 OSR2 (aka 95B or 95C) can use FAT32 allowing for up to 2,048 GB).
