Hi, i just want to know if there is any way how to edit file in /rom.
I know i can edit it out of the game but i'm asking for in-game solution.
Every time i tried to save changes in any of file in /rom it wrote me "Access denied". I tried it with fs.open() too ( write and append mode ) but it acts like i didn't call it.

I'm currently using CC 1.33.

I'm sorry for my english and hope it makes sense.

You cannot. ROM stands for Read Only Memory, hence no editing allowed.

You can accomplish (nearly) anything you want without editing the rom though.

What you can do is copy a file from the ROM to the "/" root and then edit that file. Then (if it is an API) you can load it into your program using the "os.loadAPI()" method.

I want to edit programs like startup (/rom/startup), edit… add some of mines and add apis into /rom/apis because it will load on every computer in the world/server not only one, if it was only for couple of computers, then i would use the way you wrote.

There isn't an in-game solution for that.

You will be wanting to use a resource pack for that, here's a tutorial.
