From Wikipedia:
ROMs can be copied from the read-only memory chips found in cartridge-based games and many arcade machines using a dedicated device in a process known as dumping. For most common home video game systems, these devices are widely available. Dumping ROMs from arcade machines, which in fact are highly customized PCBs, often requires individual setups for each machine along with a large amount of expertise.

Creating images from other media is often considerably easier and can often be performed with off-the-shelf hardware. For example, the creation of tape images from games stored on magnetic tapes (from, for example, the Sinclair ZX80 computer) generally involves simply playing the magnetic tape using a standard audio tape player connected to the line-in of a PC sound card. This is then recorded to an audio file and transformed into a tape image file using another program. Likewise, many CD and DVD games may be copied using a standard PC CD/DVD drive.
Which means you need to buy a device to read and dump the information from the cart,which you can get from the web, but if you own the game(in most countries) you can download the rom that others have made and play. if its a cdrom based system you can very easily use your PC to rip the data into an iso format and play.
but I can't give you site that store roms as that against forum policy.

if you need more help, post your questions...
