 +===== Tools =====
 +==== aaru ====
 +PC software
  
-This section should have short description or overviewsuch as:+  * Can make disk images 
 +  * Can dump the CID, CSD and OCR data of the card, with compatible card reader (e.g. built-in ones like on raspberry pis) [elaborate]except for some cards [the "(Retail)" ones [[https://pastebin.com/raw/WktNxxjj|here]] that don't have "(AARU)" folders].
  
-Dumping System X carts is fairly easy, and if you already have Hardware X, only a few modifications are required.+==== General disk imaging tools (e.g. dd) ==== 
 +PC software
  
-or+  * Can make disk images
  
-Dumping System Y discs is quite involved, and requires specialized hardware and software.+==== MMCDUMP=== 
 +N-Gage homebrew: https://github.com/EKA2L1/Akudama
  
-===== Methods ===== +  * Can dump the CIDincluding from the troublesome cards that aaru can't dump the CID from
-Numbered list of methodswith the top one being the most preferred/used method+
  
-  - Compatible SD reader and aaru PC software [doesn't work on some games] +==== Siemens S7 MMC eprom utils ==== 
-  - [lower fidelity method - dump the loose files somehow]+PC software. Not sure what the official site is/was. One version is uploaded here: https://archive.org/details/S7_MMC.ZIP
  
-==== Compatible SD reader and aaru PC software ====+  * Can be used to make disk images of very early protos. 
 +  * Fiddly to use 
 +  * Not known how it works
  
-This can make an aaruf file, which you can extract metadata from, plus the disk image and CID, CSD and OCR metadata (some of the last three are needed to emulate/bypass DRM?) +===== Methods ===== 
-==== [lower fidelity method - dump the loose files somehow] ====+xxxx
  
-Using homebrew on an N-Gage? Files should match those extracted from a proper disk image made using aaru.
