    Is it possible to dump a prototype cartridge like this with an old device called the BUNG XChanger GB?

    Would that work? Did anyone here by chance dump such a cartridge with the same setup? Or does somebody know of a different setup that works guaranteed?
    Thanks!

    Pull out eprom, read it.

    But cart reader should work too.

    You could just send it to me and I'll dump it. No charge, just pay postage.

    Done this type of thing a few times, so should be able to look up my history.

    Thanks for the answers!
    It’s not in my possession, but I want to help the owner preserve it before the chip dies.
    When I visit him next time, I want to bring a backup device, but it has to be safe.
    If regular cartridge dumpers work, that’s good to know.

    Yeah I dumped a few with a Bung adapter years ago. Other than the inconvenience of the old things, it worked fine.
