A program called "Project 64" can play ROMS if that is what you mean by "extract from". As for getting the content of a ROM, I have not ever seen such a thing.

Out of curiosity, where do ROMs come from? I've always wondered.

I have looked around and have not found any references to anything related to someone creating the first ROM.

Well, I want to extract the weapons models from Perfect Dark because I want to make some models based off of them.

yes, I would like to know too... I have seen it done before.

Someone extracted the first level of Mario 64 and made it a Halo PC multiplayer map.

I know how to make N64 models into W3D models. Satisfied

Too bad they are untextured, and it's a bitch to redo it all from the crappy 5x5 textures from the game.

Wikipedia

The contents of video game console ROM cartridges can be extracted with special software, creating files known as "ROM images" for use in emulators.


We're getting somewhere, but I still don't really know how on earth they extract the ROM images from the cartridges...

That's easy, they have little readers that they just plug into and hook it up to their computers.

Yeah, but what on earth is it? You can't really somehow plug a cartridge into a computer through something like USB.

You have to dismantle a n64, hard wire it to a serial (or usb) cable, then wright the drivers so your able to read the cartridge.

Icedog: There are special development tools and backup devices available that will both directly connect to your computer, or write to a disk themselves. These have been around for a very long time and at one time arcade planners wanted to make it a possibility to pay to download copies of games right onto a floppy that you could then use.

It's hardware devices that have been specially crafted for this purpose although you could try to rig up a normal console to give you its ROM data, or even work as your video accelleration card if you wanted!


Everybody else: You certainly could extract model and texture files from a variety of different games using customized software tools, operating either in conjunction with a hardware based reader or a ROM image you managed to obtain via another surely-legal method. Some customized software tools have been made to work with several games, and some work only with a specific game, and allow you to manipulate the data in very interesting ways.
