Hi, since I was little I had 2 GBA and I had a cartridge that contained many games, this cartridge just started showed a menu with 4 games and selecting the fourth, all 123 games appeared.
This cartridge is called "123 in 1"
Now with a ds phat and an r4 I tried to dump the cartridge, I can dump the wwe rom, i tried to emulate the rom with 2ds virtual console and i also tried with mGBA, the game selection menu appears but only the first game works and the rest of the 3 games do not work so I can not even get to the complete menu with all the games. I would like to ask you if it is possible to dump the entire cartridge including the part that is apparently missing, I also attach photos of the cartridge and the first menu.
I also add that if I press L and R, the VisualNes menu appears.

That is what we call in the industry as a 'multicart'. Try dumping them with an insideGadgets GBxCart RW device, that plugs into a PC, you can set the ROM size to anything larger to look for the rest of the data. Otherwise, if you've only got a DS OG/lite model use the GBA Backup Tool.

Some multicarts won't otherwise allow you to dump the rest of the ROM space, something to do with the mapper or copy protection.

I only have a DS phat, I dumped with godmode9i and it gave me a 32mb rom and it has the problem I described in the post, I tried to dump with Gba Backup tool but I only used the first version because the others froze, the rom came out of 16mb but it always has the same problem. I don't have that device you mentioned, I live in Italy, I don't know if there are Italian sites that sell it but I don't want to spend too much for this curiosity I have to dump

insideGadgets can do international shipping to Italy and other parts of Europe (if listed).

You definitely need a dedicated ROM flasher/dumper like the GBxCart RW, Joey Jr, or GB Flash. All 3 of these are supported under the fantastic FlashGBX software by Lesserkuma. It can auto-identify the flash chip used, and then you can dump the entire ROM chip.

    made enchiladas tonight. came out decent. Not the best I've made, and half of the tortillas split open because I didn't warm them first smh, and I used jarred sauce rather than making my own. Still tasty though

    Coax wire today is much better (RG6) than old school coax (RG58/59). Newer wire more expensive than the older wire.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can buy it at any length @homedepot wire cutting area cheaper than buying preformed cable, but you have to put on your own ends/ connectors.
