So I\m trying to figure out what's broken with my Waku Waku 7 cart. I believe one of the P ROMS are busted, so I was planning on dumping them with a TOP-3000, but I can't really figure out how.

They are marked TC538200AP, and I dont see that as a supported chip in TOP3000.

I assume there's some other chip that's more or less the same that I can use to dump this somehow? Any help would be awesome.
 
27C800 (8mbit) and 27C160 (16mbit) eproms are used for program roms in conversions, so those should work.
 
Thanks, that helped.
Managed to dump them. Needed some extra stuff done though, so Ill probably write a short guide somewhere since I was not able to find one.
 
TL;DR for getting working dumps:

P ROM TC538200:
Dump as M27C800

P ROM TC5316200:
Dump as M27C160

V ROM TC5332204: These ones are more tricky and needs romwak or similar
  1. Connect Pin 30 (Q15) and Pin 22 (Vcc) with a test lead. Then dump as M27C322 to a file v1_vcc.bin
  2. Move test lead to connect Pin 30 (Q15) and Pin 12 (GND) instead. Then dump as 27C322 to a file v1_gnd.bin
  3. romwak_x64.exe /b v1_vcc.bin split1 split2
  4. romwak_x64.exe /b v1_gnd.bin split3 split4
  5. romwak_x64.exe /m split3 split1 v1.bin

v1.bin now has the complete dump
