I am looking to back up/restore the saved games on my NES games that still have some battery life left in them. I don't want to lose all the work I've put into them (my Zelda 2 cart is perticularly impressive). Is there any tool out there that is made for this ? The only thing I've been able to find is a copyNES. At this point I am almost ready to buy a copyNES kit and install it into my spare NES.
I was kind of hoping there would be a piece of hardware out there that I could connect to the save game chip and dump the contents and then write it back to later. I'm not even sure if the save game chips are standard or if different companies used different chips so I don't know how realistic this idea is.
I'd also like to be able to do this for SNES carts as well and obviously this will require a sperate tool. I have found various tools for the SNES carts but I'm not sure which piece of hardware would be most affordable/best suited to what I need.
