An excellent question. Dumping the ROMs off of plug & play is a terrible process that nobody wants to do, so I don't have the answer to this. But I do have an ulterior motive talking about it, which is that I hope to get people interested enough to help.https://twitter.com/SoftlistG/status/1170079656369721346 …

The ROMs are not easily accessible under the epoxy blobs, so dumping these typically means a lot of wiring work and reverse engineering. Also most are destructive, so the system won't work anymore. Also the games are mostly crap so interest is probably low.pic.twitter.com/LuN2nQ1oF8

Hey,
@TheMogMiner,@stilett0_ -- who's the contact on this sort of stuff, anyway? He's probably already talking to the right people, but I want to be 100% sure he's getting all the support he needs.1 vastaus 0 uudelleentwiittausta 1 tykkäys -
In case you all missed the replies I have been talking to clawgrip about this stuff, and buying units to send off to...I forget his name, Sean?

Sean? Then you're most certainly talking to the right guy.

Sean's backlog seems enormous, I'm hoping someone else steps up eventually! But part of that is selfish because I just want all this NES-based stuff dumped, lol

Well, to be frank (and you can be Frank too!) I'd like to see this stuff get dumped too because it's going to be inherently uncommon to begin with.

yeah, really my goal is to document all of the NES-based ones so there's at least a master list of those. I've found several that there's little to no reference to online.

I find it really amusing that the NES is still the system that lives on. Cheap, capable, expandable. Nintendo had no idea what a monster they'd made with that design.

yeah! that's what gets me about all this too, it's somehow still a viable toy computer AND it's almost the de facto hobbyist system for homebrewers now

Indeedy-do - your go-to guy is Sean Riddle, but he's busy until around December at the least. Fortunately, we now have @algestam here in Sweden who can take point on the Game & Watch dumping effort, so at least those games won't be clogging up the pipeline!
