Hello everybody! ^^
I would like to get some help from you guys. I have an unlicensed FC cart which probably does not use any of the standard mappers. I would like to dump this cart for preservation purpouses only. Therefore i do not really care about making it compatible with any emulators or so, but i just want to be able to dump and re-program the eproms if they by some reasons stop working.
I have been looking into various dumpers like the CopyNES, Kazoo and such, but since i have absolutely no knowledge about these matters, i could not really find any information about how to do it, since the mappers supported by these dumpers seems to be just the standard mappers. Or can i just dump the information (and re-program it to the EPROMS) with any dumper no matter which mapper the cart uses? (I mean, being able to dump the CHR and PRG)
What about an EPROM reader? Maybe that would work if i desolder the chips. The soldering part would be no issue, but i would prefer other options if available.
Could somebody please try to explain to me in a very simple way? This cart is just a cart that has big sentimental value to me, and i just would like to preserve the content for the future.
Thank you in advance. I really appreciate any input.
Ps. I do not think this cart is already dumped, and even if. I would like to do this, as a project. Which also means that i do not look to send it away to a person who can dump it. I hope you understand ^^ Thanks a lot!
