Is this possible to dump games through Adapter?

Example: I own a SNES Dumper (Super Wild Card PAL) and Adapters to play all NES (TriStar Adapter PAL) or GameBoy Games (Super GameBoy PAL).

So is it possible to dump the complete TriStar Adapter with a NES game inside or dump the Super GameBoy with a GameBoy game inside? Will this work?

I have try it in the past with a PAL/NTSC Adapter, to dump SNES NTSC games, this has not work. Nothing show on the TV as I turn the console on. But will this work maybe with other Adapters? Or can something broken when I try it? I am worry, that I can broken something, so I have not try it yet.

When it is possible, is it too possible to Rip the NES or GameBoy game from the "SNES" Rom later? Or can you only play it on SNES Emulator when it work.

I have think about it, because I own some Prototypes for NES and will get one GameBoy Prototype and own one pirate GameBoy game, which not exist as normal game. But I own nothing to dump them.

I can tell you the Super Gameboy part won't work -- I've tried it. Really, the cartridge is just a complete Gameboy with a small bootloader. When you try to dump your Super Gameboy all you're getting is the loader -- the SNES hardware has no direct access to the Gameboy cart.

If you get anywhere with dumping NES games through the Tristar, I'd love to get a piece of that action. ;) I suspect it's the same deal as the SGB, though.

My guess is it's not possible. I have a Super Wildcard DX and have tried dumping things like that with no success. I'd have to agree with Dimitri, I think it tries to dump the code in the adapter instead of the cart you have in the adapter.

Can you dump GB or GBC games with a GBA dumper? Never tried it, but I always assumed it would work.
