Hi Guys
I have famicom multicarts since 1995 that I really like to dump.So Can I dump them using Kazoo cartridge INL Retro Dumper ?
This is a GameStar Cartridge


This is a GameStar Cartridge too

Yes, but if the cartridges do anything funny you'll have to reverse engineer how they work.

Opening the cartridge, and then taking pictures, is a good first step.

If the cart with auto reset option,maybe you can not dump the cart.
if no,you can debug the mmc,and dump it.
* dump 32k prg from 0x8000 to 0xFFFF
* debug 32k prg,try to find witch address to be written.
* try to write these address, then find page bank addressed and values.

so if I take photos of them from inside , it's possible to specify if they can be dumped?

Extremely likely.

Waiting for a new ROM

I uploaded the pics above in the original post

Pictures of both sides, please

It's going to be pretty tricky to figure out what's going on with the ones that are a single epoxy blob.

Do you already have a kazoo, or are you trying to decide if it's worth trying to buy one?
If you don't already have one, how hard would it be to get/make a TapeDump cartridge?

Also, what did the outside of the cartridges look like?

well I uploaded them
no I don't have it but just interested in buying it specially for these cartridges.They're very significant to me
no it's too hard for me to make that tool 'cause you can tell I'm kinda noob and it's really hard for me buy such chips and stuff that I don't know anything about so I'd prefer to buy it if it's worthy

so can I dump them with this tool?'cause if it can be , I'm gonna buy it for sure

It will not be trivial. We don't know the hardware in those multicarts, and they're not even in Санчез's collection, so there's basically no documentation.

It is possible to reverse-engineer the mapper, hence why I suggested starting with the cheaper route of TapeDump... the first step will be dumping the cartridges as though they were mapper 0/NROM.

well I'm gonna give it a try and read the tutorial

The easiest way is send me your cartridge, i can help you dump .
