Dumping a Reproduction Cart ? Will It Work?
by on (#13783)
I want to dump a reproduction cart that I had made with a hack of Mario 3 that I did.

My question to you all is, if you dump a reproduction cart, will the rom work correctly as it did before it was put onto a cart? I was told that the address lines were different on a reproduced cart, than on a normal cart?

Thank you.

If you put the hacked ROM onto the cartridge properly, then if you try to dump it, the resulting data will be 100% identical to what you put on the cart in the first place.

I emailed the rom to someone and they did it for me. It play's 100% identical to the way I made it when I edited it on the .nes format
