Altough yes in theory it'd be possible if YOU (or someone else) did the things described above.

Not saying it's impossible, just saying it is not at the moment and don't see anything pointing out toward that on their web page.

The use of a plug in adapter alone wouldn't be enough for famicom cart because of all the different mapper used by this console and I don't see the retrode guy going through the trouble of coding dozen of different dumping script for specific mapper support seing as their goal seem to be toward an easy and plug and play kind of device that anyone can use.
For those willing to put in the effort with the code and share it, the kazzo's hardware can actually support acting as a retrode for the NES/FC.

I concur with MottZilla.

I personally own many backup units for many different game systems and I have never seen nor heard of any device that dumped NES/Famicom cartridges that also played them as well. I have a Turbo Game Doctor 6+ and 3 other units like it, and all they do is play hacked cartridge games off of FDS disks. Those types of ROMs are not available at all online, and it seems to be the only way to get them is to acquire FDS disks with those types of games on them. I really wish someone would have made a Famicom/Nes copier that used 3.5" floppy disks much like the MANY SNES/Super Famicom units did...s much like the MANY SNES/Super Famicom units did...
