Hmm, I don't seem to have saved the image. This is the most info I have to go on.

I remember originally seeing it as part of a NFR collection photo on NintendoAge from Jaxsbox but I guess I didn't save the photo. Although I don't think you could tell much from the photo anyway.

Ah I see. Thanks.

NFR = Not For Resale, and they're very typically exactly the type of cart you'd see at an E3 demo.

Ah interesting. Do you have any photos of mass produced E3 carts like this?

What's "The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds [NFR, E3 Demo]" referring to? E3 demos are usually dev carts, not mass produced.

@SNESNESCUBE64 Could you upload the first two images in full resolution? Its not possible to make out the detail (writing) with the reduced resolution imgae.

Yes, I dumped this and another early SMB cart and it’s 100% identical. 

interesting...

I assume the ROM data matches retail? I.e. PRG and CHR combined has the following properties?:

size in bytes: 40960
sha256: fcb6a0ef3a20c19b356005fbb21dc8009563b1cb5a9aaebc8e9386b4a8c5912e?

It seems like PS1 memory card data may contain the game serial. If you could backup the memory card to your PC, you could find those serials then look them up on the internet.

(note: contributing ROM info/data does not require piracy - hashes or patches are enough in most cases)

I was told it can be done with an Analogue NT Mini but that method looks like it requires the chips to be on a cartridge. How do I dump the bare chips?

The "flashrom" linux utility probably has compatibility with some common ROM programmers.

If anyone has a spot that can hold a 42gb zip file, I can upload everything I was able to pull off my hard drive on my demo unit as I recently found the USB drive I had it backed up on. It has a bunch of demos and other stuff that is beyond me but maybe someone can make sense of it and let me know if anything is useful in general or for my demo console.

 

Might be a good idea to just create a mega account and upload it there (you get 50GB free). If you do that, people can easily duplicate it to their own account, and eventually upload it to archive.org (which tends to have a slow upload speed).

I have one of the hard disk demo consoles. ...

Could you make an image of the whole drive using dd?
