Rom Hacks do not have upc's. Many repro sites simply make them up.
If you wish to make a upc, go here

select EAN \ UPC
then set it to EAN-13 I believe.

I use this one: http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/generator/
Can't recall what settings I have it on (my .psd templates have a layer which says what settings and size to use, but it's been a while since I created one) but I like this one because you can adjust both height and width (believe I use 2 x 2.5 usually)

both of those are good but is there anyway to add info on the barcode so when scanned it comes up with the name and price of by chance?

Erm....I'm guessing you don't really understand barcodes.

The barcode is just a number which links to an item held in a database.

If you scan a tin of paint, your computer won't come up with the price and description, as you don't have the database it links to.  Your computer will just read a number.

Short answer....NO!

Actually, it could but the barcode would be the length of the entire page of the cover.

I would just come up with a clever unique character set.. Maybe
SMWHACKTLA1
SMWHACKTLA2
SMWHACKTLA3

I make my barcodes by using a free barcode generator website that exports to PDF.  I blowup the PDF then snap a screen grab and paste it in my cover.  Using fonts for barcodes are really annoying, thus was the easiest way I found.  I posted instructions on another thread, so just search my name and barcode for the full info.
