• You dump a single 4 MB flash from a "300‑in‑1".
• You find that the first 64 KB contains a menu that writes to $8000 to select 16 KB PRG banks.
• Disassembly reveals a table: bank indices for each title.
• Extracting a particular title requires concatenating banks [N..N+1] for PRG and reading CHR banks referenced elsewhere.
• Create .nes header: set PRG size to 16 KB × number of PRG banks used, CHR size accordingly, set mapper to the simple custom mapper number, test in emulator with patched mapper logic.

• Hacks and Palette Swaps: Super Mario Bros. appears as itself, but also as "Mario 2" (a hack with different enemy colors), "Mario 3" (a time-limited version), and "Mario 10" (starting at world 4).

• The "Same Game, Different Name" Trick: Circus Charlie might be listed as "Circus," "Charlie," and "Jumping Circus."

But the beauty of the 300-in-1 isn’t variety — it’s discovery. Unlike a full No-Intro ROM set (which has every game ever made), a multicart ROM is curated by chaos. It’s a time capsule of late-’90s pirate logic: repeat popular titles to pad the count, splice in weird Russian-developed Famicom originals, and always include Contra with the “30 lives” code already activated.
