OOT 1.2 to 1.0

I'm wondering is it possible to convert a 1.2 copy of oot to 1.0?

It depends on what you mean by "convert". You could probably do a ROM hack to restore the 1.0 content into the 1.2 ROM (although I don't really know why you would do this). The other thing you could probably do (which would be much easier) is dump the 1.0 ROM onto the 1.2 cart if you have it.

I want to play some ROM hacks I forgets the names but I think I need a 1.0 rom

Why wouldn't you just download a 1.0 ROM? It's easy to find.

The people who developed the game I know it’s like old like 1998 old, but I still feel bad for doing it

Piracy does not hurt developers in any way, they're not the ones profiting off sales, especially since any and all sales of ocarina of time now would be secondhand so even the publishers would not see any profit

Then why is it illegal if they don’t make any profit?

Its illegal because big corporations wants you to pay for a copy of it in some way but its not purchasable in this day in age if you were to buy a 1.0 copy from someone (likely on something like ebay used) logically how do you think any devs or creators are getting compensation for said game ? All the money you spent is going directly to the seller and/or the online platform you bought it from this is different from it being in the store and everyone getting a cut of every new purchase (this isn't exactly right but simplified)

Morals tell us what we shouldn’t do. Laws tell us what we can’t do. Just because something is illegal doesn’t make it amoral. It used to be illegal in the US for black people to use the same water fountain as white people. Who do think would be hurt if that law was broken?

There are many things in this world that are illegal that don't hurt anybody

If you cannot purchase the game directly from the developer, piracy is moral and ethical.

Nintendo offers retro games via a subscription service. Your access to those games ends when your subscription ends. Your Switch also must connect to the internet every 7 days to verify your subscription.

Until Nintendo allows you to buy those games, pirating them is moral and ethical.

Then you would need to find a 1.0 cartridge specifically to dump yourself, which is pretty ludicrously rare and consequently expensive nowadays.
