==Nintendo Game Boy Advance / DS / 3DS==
===With a Flashcart (On DS)===
<!-- To-do: add flashcarts and/or tools that can dump GBA games -->
===With Custom Firmware (On 3DS)===
To hack your 3DS, refer to [https://3ds.hacks.guide 3ds.hacks.guide].
DS and 3DS cartridges can be dumped using [https://github.com/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/ GodMode9]. This works for both the old and new models, as well as variations like the 2DS.
moved GBA/NDS/3DS to after Cartridge section (sense they are cartridge based), added methods for DS and GBA, added disclaimer
While many companies discourage making "backups" or "archival" copies, if you want to <i>legally</i> play your games on an emulator you're going to need to dump them yourself. This guide covers the basics and more well-known methods, so there may be other methods not mentioned here.
==Cartridge-based (Up to 4th Gen)==
Games on Nintendo's NES, SNES, GB and N64, Sega's Master System and Mega Drive (aka Genesis), NEC's PC-Engine (aka TG-16), and other systems from the same era were stored on special cartridges to be read with a very particular pin layout only found on their intended hardware.

* Rare Replay

===GBA Link Cable (GCN and Wii)===
* [https://github.com/FIX94/gba-link-cable-dumper/releases GBA Link Cable Dumper] - Slow transfer speeds, can dump BIOS also. Cannot be used to dump GB(C) sadly.
==Nintendo DS / 3DS==
===With Custom Firmware (On DSi)===
* [https://github.com/RocketRobz/GodMode9i GodMode9i] - Only works if run off of SD card, not on flashcart.

==Sony PlayStation 1/2==
==Wii U==
Wii U discs have rounded edges making it impossible to read on Blu-Ray drives for PC the same way, though early dumping groups made a non-public physical modification to the Wii U to dump the data directly from its optical drive. If your console can run homebrew, however, you can dump your Wii U discs with [https://gbatemp.net/threads/dumpiine-v1-0-dump-your-rpx-and-rpl.398790/ Dumpiine], [https://gbatemp.net/threads/451736/ Wudump] or [https://wiiu.guide/disc2app disc2app]. Only Wudump produces a lossless dump, the others extract the bare code and data for the game in either RPX/RPL (Dumpiine) or WUPInstaller (disc2app) format.
