  • Nintendo cart pages: add info on “front of cart”/box serials (and non-standard carts if relevant)
  • Split dumping hardware table into individual tables for each console, and put them on the respective dumping guide pages
  • General Disc Dumping guide: add more information on advantages of certain disc drives (e.g. Plextors)

  • Create Atari Cartridge dumping guide.
  • Atari 2600 - dumpable with custom OSCR adapter or Custom adapter for Retrode 2
  • Atari Lynx - Joeylynx or lynx pi hat
  • Atari Jaguar carts - either desolder ROMs and use ROM programmer, or use a BJL-modded jaguar and the bjl_dump homebrew

A flash cart in the early 2000s named WonderMagic could also dump carts, but it's now extremely difficult to find. Carts are secured with two T6 Torx screws. Make sure to not include save data in dumps.
