This is an old revision of the document!

Add pictures, and a video guide, to each page
Add instructions on how to dump save files
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.
Nintendo cart pages: add info on “front of cart”/box serials (and non-standard carts if relevant)
Split dumping hardware table into individual tables for each console, and put them on the respective dumping guide pages
General Disc Dumping guide: add more information on advantages of certain disc drives (e.g. Plextors)
GB/C: update the tool overview table and then move back to actual page
GBA: update the tool overview table and then move back to actual page

Create Atari Cartridge dumping guide.
Atari Lynx - Joeylynx or lynx pi hat
Create GBA e-Reader guide
Create guide for Bandai Wonderswan. Sanni adapter requires harvesting cartridge slot from a real Wonderswan. There's also a Tengu cart reader. A flash cart in the early 2000s named WonderMagic could also dump carts, but it's now extremely difficult to find. Carts are secured with two T6 Torx screws. Make sure to not include save data in dumps.

Is it worth dumping each chip individually for some carts? Examples of carts where this would be useful: different parts of ROM exposed depending on PCB configuration, some kind of circuitry for byte-swapping the ROM output (2)? Maybe just looking at the PCB is enough to find special cases like these.
Add explanations of why the different pieces of info are useful to record to Gathering and Submitting Dump Info (Detailed) / and generally just why its good to use common/open source methods.
Hiccup's notes: https://hiccup.miraheze.org/wiki/Notes_to_assist_with_dumping_guides
It may be a good idea to overdump (dump past 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
Some carts may have DLC in the save data. Add a note to the dumping guide pages about this.
Rewritable Hard Disks and Flash Media: add instructions on how to censor personal information without altering the surrounding data structure (e.g. FF/00-out file contents without modifying the filesystem metadata or shifting data)

General improvements
