By checking physically the continuity with a multimeter between the pins of the chips FAX813 and 74LS174, this revealed that the pin 14 (of the chip 74LS174) isn't linked to the pin 7 (of the chip FAX813), but it is linked with the pin 4 (of the chip FAX813).

My friend's cartridge will arrive from China in January. Then we will redump it using a CopyNES.

By checking physically with a multimeter the continuity of all the links of the PCB :
  • in yellow : valid links
  • in red : 7 corrected links

I already sent you a script. The errors in the last dump from the NRS script seemed to come from a source other than the script.

I did not look at pictures depicting any links between chips; I was merely debugging the menu code to produce my modified script. You keep asking 500,000 questions instead of just trying the script again.

The changes between the "guesses" and "verified by continuity meter" are:
  • The exact order of the traces for the CHR RAM is different, but this has no effect on dumping the cartridge
  • The exact order of the outputs from the TIBPAL is different, but those behavior of those outputs were already unknown due to the TIBPAL. The decipher script already figured out what's going on.
  • As already mentioned, the input to the 74LS174 is not A5 but is A12.
The correct changes for this are those as matched by NewRisingSun's dumping script. Please run it again.

有些一合卡
一但切换了游戏的模式,不复位是无法再读取其它模式的游戏的
所以并不是所有的游戏卡带都可以使用dump工具一次性读取完

但可以使用编程器一次性读完

Finished dumping the 1050-in-1, along with a 400-in-1 using the same mapper 354. I have updated the wiki article accordingly. The ROM image file will be released in a more appropriate place early next year. If you need the file earlier than that, you can always run my script with your own cartridge. Note that no public emulator currently runs the 3 MiB variant of mapper 354.

In the previous dump, it seems that the INLretro dumper started crashing from byte 0x13510. No explanation for that...

By running again the dump310331C-32-NRS.lua script, the dumped file is :
[File deleted]

Which complete header to assign to it ?

The PRG ROM content is identical to my dump. The correct NES 2.0 header is:

Code: Select all

4E 45 53 1A C0 00 20 68 11 00 00 07 00 00 00 2A
The full title on my cartridge label is "1992 劃面選關 1050-in-1".

The title is different on the cartridge dumped here : "Super 1050 in 1 (Int'l)" / "Supervision Japan"

Code: Select all

$ md5sum 1050in1-IntL-Supervision.nes 
5f90f96b4234129fc6299db6b0676bc1  1050in1-IntL-Supervision.nes
