 +**Important Notes**
 +  * Unopened games should have their ROM and save data dumped **before** attempting to play them. This avoids inadvertent modification of the data and helps preserve the game in its unused/"factory" state. Note in your submission whether the physical media was sealed and include a photo of the cart/packaging in its sealed state, if possible.
