Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom

Dumping SNES / SFC cartridges require the use of a specialized dumper hardware that supports the cartridges, not to mention these dumpers may not be able to dump every single kind of cartridges.

Cartridges that contain the SA-1 Chip may not able to work because of its anti-piracy measures, be sure to read about the methods that support it.

Some cartridges may also be not supported because of its memory mapping like Sufami Turbo and Satellaview compatible cartridges (like BS-X), or like game prototypes that don't contain proper info about the cartridge itself.

The Sanni Cart Reader (https://github.com/sanni/cartreader) is an open source Arduino based dumper that supports several systems, including SNES. It is portable, can be customized and does not need a computer to work.

Only a SD card is needed. Follow the instructions here on how to update the firmware of your Cart Reader.

If the Sanni Cart Reader is equipped with a snesCIC and Adafruit Clock Generator, it is possible to dump cartridges with embedded SA-1 chip.

• Unplug the power from the hardware. Please make sure the switches on the side are set like this before doing anything:

Set the 3V/5V switch to the right, EEP to the left, CLK0 to the right, CLK1 to the right.

• Insert a FAT32 formatted SD Card.
• Insert the cartridge, make sure it is facing to the small screen.
• Plug the hardware to power it on.
• Use the left button to select Super Nintendo, then push the right button to select it.
• You will have a list of Super Nintendo cartridge hardware, select Super Nintendo again.
• The hardware will now detect the cartridge. If it could not recognize the cartridge, please power off the hardware by unplugging, remove the cartridge and insert it again and restart. The LED will be red if it didn't recognize, and the LED will be green if it works.
• Select “Read Rom” to dump the ROM, or select “Read Save" to dump the save to your SD card.
• As it does the job, please do not touch the cartridge, SD card, or the Cart Reader. Any interference might cause problems.
• Once it is done dumping, it will verify the ROM dump itself using the internal checksum information. Mind that this information is lacking in precision and is only useful short term. It is still preferable to properly verify your ROM dump using other means.
• If you are done, please unplug the hardware and you can use the SD card to get the ROM image.

The Super NT from Analogue doesn't come with dumping capabilities by default, they need to be enabled by installing the jailbreak.
