Bear in mind that when trying to dump cartridge games, there's a significant risk of having corrupt sectors in the resulting dump.

===Ripping From Emulated Releases===
Sometimes the companies re-release the games digitally, as a wrapper containing an emulator and the ROM. Depending on the company, the ROM may or may not be directly playable in regular emulators. You can extract those ROMs and play them without having to go to shady sites nor tracking expensive cartridges and potentially breaking them in the ripping process. And you get to support the company who made the stuff you love, instead of resellers hoarding second-hand game copies.
====Virtual Console (Wii, Wii U, 3DS)====
The Wii VC releases are most of the time ready to work in emulators. In fact, Nintendo was so kind they even included the iNES headers in NES roms (16 bytes in the beginning of the ROM that are not part of the original cart data yet the emulator needs them to know which mapper it is and run the game at all). You can even replace the ROM with one from the same system from your choice, and get it to run if Nintendo's emulators are compatible.
However! Some post-2010 ROMs give inside another compressed "romc" file. That's the ROM, but compressed. You'll need the romc command-line decompression tool, following the commands:<br/>cd C:/romfolder/<br/>romc d C:/romfolder/romc C:/extractionfolder/customromname.extension

It will ask you to install toolbars and other junk, choose custom installation, and deselect them. It does not install them if you say no like other programs. #Put your PS1 or PS2 disc into your computer.#Open ImgBurn#Click Mode>Read#Choose the destination of the file, by clicking the little folder+magnifying glass button.#Click the CD button at the bottom.#Wait for it to finish ripping.#Play ISO in whatever emulator you use For PS1 games, make sure you rip the disc as a BIN+CUE rather than a single ISO file. While you can play PS1/PS2 discs directly from your PC's optical drive in some emulators (ePSXe and older mednafen releases for PS1, PCSX2 for PS2) it wears the disc and the optical drive the longer you use it, hence why it's not recommended. ===Ripping From Emulated Releases===Sony made the hard part of game ripping already for you, so why not go for those instead to dump your game images from? ====PS Classics (PS1C PSP, PS1C PS3, PS2C PS3)====Sony also has a digital distribution service for their old PS1 and PS2 games.

Sega Dreamcast game ripping can be done from a Dreamcast using the Dreamshell SD card reader, or using a BroadBand adapter. (to be added) ==GameCube/Wii=====With a PC's Optical Drive===Only some out-of-print models of DVD drives may read GC and Wii discs, mainly from LG (compatibility list [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-howto-dump-wii-or-gamecube-games-with-pc-no-wii-needed here]). Even then, Windows won't recognize the disc as valid. You'll need a tool like Rawdump or Friidump to dump it. Make sure you convert the dump to ISO format. Wii U discs have rounded edges making it impossible to read on Blu-Ray drives for PC the same way, though early dumping groups made a non-public physical modification to the Wii U to dump the data directly from its optical drive. ===With Homebrew===For the GC and Wii, use [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip].
