How do you open a .ROM file?

Question

I have received an e-mail with an attachment which ends in .ROM when I try to open the attachment it comes up with the following message: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel. How do I do this, I don't know where to start.

Thanks

Answer 1

A .rom file will be an image of a ROM, these are usually older games such as nintendo 64, 'arcade' games, pinball and fruit machines.

To open it it you really need to know what the ROM is as it will require an emulator. Ask the sender what it opens with :)

hummm...that's hard because I've never had this problem. But whenever I need to open something with a program I don't have, you can usually find a program on the internet that will let you open it. Try searching on Google and you should find something. And when your computer said to create an association program, it basically meant find or install a program that will let you open .ROM files.

Answer 3

do you know who it is from if not

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN IT
