==Usage== Patched ROMs are often played on emulators, however, it is possible to play patched ROMs on the original hardware.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://callanbrown.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59:basic-nes-reproduction-moai-kun&catid=36:home-console-projects&Itemid=61|title=Basic NES Reproduction}}</ref> The destination cartridge could be the original cartridge from which the initial unpatched ROM was pulled (which usually involves replacing the original ROM chip with a new one), or another compatible cartridge of the same type, such as flash cartridges. This is particularly popular for [[Fan translation (video gaming)|fan translations]], [[Homebrew (video games)|homebrew games]], prototypes, games for which ROM cartridges were never produced, or for games that require exact timing or other elements of the original hardware that are not available in emulators.
