 +===== Tools ===== 
 +==== aaru ==== 
 +PC software
  
-Dumping System X carts is fairly easy, and if you already have Hardware Xonly few modifications are required.+  * Can make disk images 
 +  * Can dump the CIDCSD and OCR data of the cardwith 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].
  
-or+==== General disk imaging tools (e.g. dd) ==== 
 +PC software
  
-Dumping System Y discs is quite involved, and requires specialized hardware and software.+  * Can make disk images
  
-===== Methods ===== +==== MMCDUMP=== 
-[todo +N-Gage homebrewhttps://github.com/EKA2L1/Akudama
-* does dd work?+
  
-supposedly this is good for some cards https://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/+  Can dump the CID, including from the troublesome cards that aaru can't dump the CID from
  
-]+==== Siemens S7 MMC eprom utils ==== 
 +PC software. Not sure what the official site is/was. One version is uploaded here: https://archive.org/details/S7_MMC.ZIP
  
-Numbered list of methods, with the top one being the most preferred/used method+  * Can be used to make disk images of very early protos. 
 +  * Fiddly to use 
 +  * Not known how it works
  
-  - Compatible SD reader and aaru PC software +===== Methods ===== 
-  - Compatible SD reader and unknown Siemens tool +xxxx
-  - Dumping loose files +
- +
-==== Compatible SD reader and aaru PC software ==== +
-his can make an aaruf file, which you can extract metadata from, plus the disk image and CID, CSD and OCR data (some of the last three are needed to emulate/bypass DRM?). Doesn't work on some cards [which?]. usually its built-in sd readers that are compatible, not usb ones (e.g. the one built into the raspberry pi [which model?]) +
-====Compatible SD reader and unknown Siemens tool==== +
-Unknown if the same SD readers are required as aaru or if more/less are compatible. Supposed to work with cards that can't be dumped using aaru. Maybe doesn't allow for retrieving the special data nor metadata like aaru can? But there is a homebrew tool that can be used to dump the CID data?  +
- +
-==== Dumping loose files ==== +
-Using homebrew on an N-Gage? Files should match those extracted from a proper disk image made using aaru.+
