I need to buy some cartridge dumpers for museum archival. Everyone scalped the Retrode and now it's twice the cost, so I'm looking for other options to do catch-all dumping of stuff on the cheap. We have LOTS of different cartridges. What does everyone use for dumping?
Depending on the system, if you want museum-grade archival then you're most likely going to want to dump the chips directly. Edge-connector dumps put you at the mercy of any intervening memory-mapper chips, and having an accurate image of the ROM data can't be guaranteed.

Right. For stuff that we HAVE to get a correct dump of, I'll do that, but I can't open up thousands of cartridges. I'm looking to do simpler stuff like detecting which cart I have if it has no label, simple checksum comparisons to check revision, and perhaps archive SRAM.

For quick ident without opening up the cartridges, it's slim pickings short of the Retrode, but there are two that come to mind: If you're willing to get your hands dirty with an Arduino, this will give you great coverage:https://github.com/sanni/cartreader …
