Thanks Flack,
I found these threads already, I need to know do these NEED dumped or are there Roms out there already?
I added a list to the original post for an easy checklist

There are ROMS out there already for the majority of them. If you want to sell the N64 test Cart, please let me know, I am looking for one.

Wow! What great finds! Congrats, dude! So did you pay an arm and a leg for those, or did you get a steal?

$315 for everything in the pics (including the manuals) I got them from an old electronics store, formally an official Nintendo repair center.

Here's the actual dumped code from the N64 test cart!
5 REM N64 DIAGNOSTIC CARTRIDGE C 1996 NINTENDO
10 PRINT "DOES THIS SCREEN APPEAR FUZZY?"
20 INKEY $ "YES"
30 INKEY $ "NO"
40 IF "YES" GOTO 50
50 PRINT "SYSTEM PASS. DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE."

Your test is always going to output "SYSTEM PASS. DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE." no matter what they enter. Now if this were a Virtual Boy diagnostic cart, that would explain a few things.

That sounds really dumb. What's the point of this cart then?
