 There are many tools available to dump NES / Famicom carts, not all of them are simple to use though. To ensure successful dumps, we won't be listing beta/in progress methods or tools below.
+===== Identifying Game Versions =====
+todo: add info on back-of-cart stamps and non-standard/non-Nintendo-manufactured carts

+SSS-GG-V CCC\\
+S = System (HVC = Famicom/World, NES = USA NES, PAL = Europe NES)\\
+G = Game code (e.g. SM = Super Mario Bros.)\\
+V = Version (starts at 0)\\
+C = Chip (PRG = Program, CHR = Character i.e. Graphics)
+A lot of the time, only one of the chips will have an incrimented version number. And sometimes the chipped are bonded/globbed, so you can't see what is written on them (if anything). Some carts only have a PRG chip.
