Assistance required: Dumping NES prototype

I posted this at DigitalPress yesterday.

I found a The Rocketeer proto cart:

At least I think it's a proto cart. I tried this thing on my trusty NES toaster and couldn't get it to boot. I got two garbled screens, and that was it. Nothing even remotely recognizable. I'm not sure if my NES didn't like it or if the cart's dead... So I want to get it dumped.

I mean, it's the FUCKING ROCKETEER, I doubt this is worth a lot of money anyway. I'd like to get this dumped, release the rom, and sell or trade the cart to someone afterwards. Proto or not, it's still a collectible item, you know? image

So can anyone help? I'm located in Southern California. Any US-based dumpers around?

    Well, if you're wondering if it is "real" or not -- it's a good sign that the label they used is from a 3.5" diskette image Every little clue helps!

    Oh I'm sure it's real. image I picked it up and recognized David Warhol's name because I submitted the game credits to MobyGames a while ago.

    Looks like you should contact David Warhol, whoever that is...

    Edit:  NVM looks like you already know that much.  image

    Dave Warhol is well known INTV programmer, worked on Monster Truck Rally for NES too.

    wondering if the eproms are shot. Anyone with a copynes should be able to dump it to rom or raw code. I'm sure a few people here have one, including me.

    If the board is the issue and not the EPROMs, an EPROM programmer would be needed though.  Itf it doesn't boot in a regular NES, I would assume the same would be true in a CopyNES.  I would think an EPROM programmer would be the way to go.
