I found a way to use my eprom burner to dump official nintendo maskroms

Great way to back up your games.  You could easily wire up a cartridge slot adapter that connects to the dumper if you really wanted to.

yes, this arcticle is not about dumping, but it has very usefull picture with eprom=>maskrom pin mapping

I find the nesdev pinout charts better since it gives you exact charts for all sizes of maskroms.  I only wish eprom to nes maskrom wiring was "one size fits all" but I'm sure there's some situations where the wiring isn't that simple.

Haha, nice- I remember about 11 years ago when I got my first eprom programmer I got the idea of dumping some of my PC Engine games, what a mess of wires but it worked.

I honestly had no idea I could dump with these things.  I burned my first snes games and they work great.
