-**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. +
-  * You should clean the physical media's electrical contacts before trying to dump it, and dump it twice, checking if both dumps match. +
