If you should feel the need to dump an N64 Prototype but don't own one of those Backup Devices like the Doctor V64 or Mr. Backup (That don't always work withprototypes anyway ), well you're not totally out of luck, if you own an GameShark Pro version 3.2.

The GameShark was the Nintendo64 cheat device flag ship developed by Datel and distributed by InterAct in the US. Not only would it work out of the box as a game cheat device, memory card manager (backing up cartridge save games too), it also had the ability to connect to a PC program called "Game Software Code Creator" through the parallel port.

Now this is where things get really interesting, backup wise. Because not only will the Code Creator software let you look for ways to cheat in games, upgrade the Action Replay/GameShark firmware, but last but not least the program is also able to "Dump Cartridge Rom".

Please note that the Gameshark Pro is universal, meaning they will work on any N64 console. So what you need to dump an N64 rom is:
1. Nintendo64 console (with power cords etc)
2. GameShark Pro ( Software version 3.2 )
3. Parallel port cable DB-25 (male-female)
4. Game Software Code Creator software ( Download Version 1.10.101 )
5. The cartridge you'd like to dump

Now here's a step by step guide to dump an N64 prototype cartridge using the "Game Software Code Creator".
