Hi, I was wondering, does anyone know of a place where I can buy blank N64 cartridges and a device to copy ROMs from my computer to the cartridge so I can play the games on a real N64? (I've heard of I believe a device called Doctor v64 but I understand it's very rare, perhaps there's an alternative device that's easy to find and buy? Also need a place to get blank cartridges of course...) Thanks! :)

No offense, but using a copier is just as (un)ethical as producing a cart with a commercial ROM image on it.
Copiers for older systems are always expensive, so there is no real cheap solution for it.

If you’re saying it is not ethical to play a rom on the n64, then how ethical is an emulator. If it runs as good as 1964 or pj64 ultrahle its just as good as a n64. So we are all unethical. Selling a cart because you have the ability to make one is what I was getting at. Although yoy do have a point playing a rom wth out owning the game is not right. Yet you and I have very big collections now dont we;)

Haha, you're right :D
I'm not saying I think it's unethical. For me producing a cart, using a copier or playing new stuff on an emulator is the same.
