I've released v0.57 of the menu today. The highlight of this version is that you now can use the SNES Myth as a cart dumper.
Since the Myth lacks a Cic/Ciclone it relies on an original cart being plugged into back of the Myth. So I added a feature that lets the Myth menu read the boot cart's contents and write it to an SD card.
I've verified that this works for ROM (unless the cart uses SA-1 or some other special chip), and it should hopefully work for SRAM as well.
The dumping speed is currently ~10 kB/s, which is limited mostly by the SD standard enforcing CRC calculation on all data written to the card, and this being done on a 2.68 MHz CPU
(I could potentially run some of the code with FastROM timing for a slight boost).
