a doubt

just had a doubt can we copy rom from its cartridge to the computer ?

Okay.

The guy's use of English is not that great but I think what he meant was..."Is there a way for him to play a game cartridge on his desktop computer?".Or maybe,"Can we copy a game cartridge onto a computer?".

he is asking how to make dumps of cartidrages.

Not exactly... well, we do call "making a copy of a game cartridge" as dumping but by his wording he is asking if it is possible to do something like that.

"Can we copy a game cartridge onto a computer?".please reply

yes, thats how roms are made. How easy it is depends on the system though.

You really can't physically insert a game cartridge into a computer but you can play games that were copied off of one on your computer. You can do this by getting a hold of a ROM or an ISO of the game you want to play & running it through an emulator.

yes, dumping is the name given to the process of making a rom file from a game cartridge
