I have purchased the Kazzo cartridge "INL Retro" Dumper-Programmer, and It seems to work fine for dumping my ROM's to my computer using the Anago wx software. However I have a problem dumping a copy of "Super Mario Bros. + Tetris + Nintendo World Cup" Do anyone have some tips for how to do it? PS Super Mario Bros (single game) worked when I used an updated NROM script (thanks Ice Man) Any special scripts I'll need for this multicart to dump properly?
That 3-in-1 is its own unique mapper, so it'll need its own unique Kazzo script.
As a first pass, you should be able to dump it as MMC3, to get a 64 KiB PRG (containing the menu and Tetris) and 128 KiB CHR (containing the menu, Tetris, and SMB)

The MMC3 works at least for Tetris. Does any script for this exist, or is it any way to "copy/paste" some code and merge it together as a .nes?
It shouldn't be too hard to modify the normal MMC3 script to work, let me try:
Code:
board <- {
mappernum = 37, vram_mirrorfind = false, ppu_ramfind = false,
cpu_rom = {
size_base = 0x40000, size_max = 0x40000,
banksize = 0x2000,
},
ppu_rom = {
size_base = 0x40000, size_max = 0x40000,
banksize = 0x0400
}
};
function cpu_dump(d, pagesize, banksize) {
for (local o = 0; o < 4; o ++) {
cpu_write(d, 0xa001, 0x80); //enable outer bank register
cpu_write(d, 0x6000, (o<<1) | (o&1)); // set outer bank
for(local i = 0; i < 8; i ++) {
cpu_write(d, 0x8000, 6);
cpu_write(d, 0x8001, i);
cpu_read(d, 0x8000, banksize);
}
}
}
function ppu_dump(d, pagesize, banksize) {
for (local o = 0; o < 8; o += 4) {
cpu_write(d, 0xa001, 0x80); // enable outer bank register
cpu_write(d, 0x6000, o); // set outer bank
for(local i = 0; i < 128; i ++){
cpu_write(d, 0x8000, 2);
cpu_write(d, 0x8001, i);
ppu_read(d, 0x1000, banksize);
}
}
}
Using this on an ordinary MMC3 board would trash its save RAM, so don't do that.mappernum = 37, vram_mirrorfind = false, ppu_ramfind = false,
cpu_rom = {
size_base = 0x40000, size_max = 0x40000,
banksize = 0x2000,
},
ppu_rom = {
size_base = 0x40000, size_max = 0x40000,
banksize = 0x0400
}
};
function cpu_dump(d, pagesize, banksize) {
for (local o = 0; o < 4; o ++) {
cpu_write(d, 0xa001, 0x80); //enable outer bank register
cpu_write(d, 0x6000, (o<<1) | (o&1)); // set outer bank
for(local i = 0; i < 8; i ++) {
cpu_write(d, 0x8000, 6);
cpu_write(d, 0x8001, i);
cpu_read(d, 0x8000, banksize);
}
}
}
function ppu_dump(d, pagesize, banksize) {
for (local o = 0; o < 8; o += 4) {
cpu_write(d, 0xa001, 0x80); // enable outer bank register
cpu_write(d, 0x6000, o); // set outer bank
for(local i = 0; i < 128; i ++){
cpu_write(d, 0x8000, 2);
cpu_write(d, 0x8001, i);
ppu_read(d, 0x1000, banksize);
}
}
}
...now I'm worried! Can I NOT use this script with my Kazzo dumper?
??
Just don't use it witha copy of SMB2 or SMB3 (or any other MMC3 game that can save the game): the ability to contain multiple games in one cartridge is controlled in the same way as those games save their game.
Just don't use it with
Since when can Super Mario Bros. 2: Mario Madness or Super Mario Bros. 3 save (prior to All-Stars)? They're TSROM: WRAM but no battery.
Perhaps the intent was "Don't use it with TKROM games." Those actually have a battery.

Since it was Doki Doki Panic on the FDS, which saved the progress of the game to disk.
It didn't work 
In what manner did it not work?
It seems like it didn't work with "jnes", but I tried a couple of other emulators, and they run it just fine 
I will test it on my EverDrive later.
Thanx for all the help
