Well, exactly how are you retrieving it from your MacOS partition? Are you
using the HFS or HFS+ command-line tools? Mounting it (if it's straight
HFS)? Copying to floppy in standalone MacOS, then mounting floppy and
copying ROM image from there? If you're using hfsutils or hfs+utils from
the Linux command line, the default action of 'hcopy' or 'hpcopy' is to
copy the file out into (I believe) MacBinaryII format, to avoid losing the
resource fork and metadata (like type/creator ID, etc). You have to pass a
particular option (-r maybe?) to copy _raw_. Check the docs for the right
option.
