   * Create Atari Cartridge dumping guide.
   * [[ https://atarigamer.com/pages/lynx-cart-programmer-pi-hat|Possible Atari Lynx Dumper? ]]
+  * Document this GB dumping homebrew for GBA https://github.com/Lorenzooone/gba-dump-gb
+  * Add explanations of why the different pieces of info are useful to record to [[submission:general-detailed|Gathering and Submitting Dump Info (Detailed)]] / and generally just why its good to use common/open source methods.
+  * Add instructions on how to dump save files
+  * GBA: Document [[https://github.com/RattletraPM/gbaxxdumper|gbaxxdumper]]
+  * Hiccup's notes: https://hiccup.miraheze.org/wiki/Notes_to_assist_with_dumping_guides
+  * It may be a good idea to dump as much as possible (or the maximum known capacity) from some carts on some systems, to make sure all the ROM is dumped (even if the capacity is written on the ROM chip), and then analyse the overdump to find the actual size. Maybe this is something that could be done by the dumping hardware itself - maybe make suggestion on Sanni github discussions.
+  * Hardware: integrate Lesserkuma's {{ ::cart_reader_dumping_compatibility_chart.xlsx |}}
+  * Document common ROM chip serials. E.g. 6th, 7th and 8th character of the "MX" line on MX (Macronix) ROM chips seems to be the ROM size.
+  * Hardware: split into one table per console, and move dumping hardware notes to prices table (rename it)
+  * Create e-Reader guide
+  * Some carts may have DLC in the save data. Add a note to the dumping guide pages about this.
+  * Game Boy: add info on cart/box serials (and non-standard carts if relevant)
