I am looking into dumping my collection of games, but I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations about which hardware to use (my current plan is to make my own) or any experience with this sort of stuff. Also, does anyone know which mappers are common in pirated games/multicarts?

From what I've noticed, pirate multicarts usually have either NROM, CNROM, UNROM or MMC3 games. Some MMC1 games are used, but these are all MMC3 or UNROM conversions. (And in Dr. Mario's case, CNROM) The only exception I'm aware of is JY Company's 45-in-1, where all of the larger games are converted to a custom mapper. Can't help you with ROM dumpers though.

But what about the mapper in the cart itself? Is this normally proprietary or are there some common ones?
