Dumping Ganbare Goemon Gaiden 1/2

[benbini]

I am having difficulty dumping ganbare goemon gaiden 1 and 2 (mappers 25 and 21 respectively; 256/256 prg/chr for both). Other Famicom games, including Ganbare Goemon 1/2, dump successfully, and the latter games even belong to the same "family" of mappers.

Looking through the technical information on nesdir.github.io, I see that unlike Goemon 1/2, Goemon Gaiden 1/2 both have 8k WRAM, which I assume is "Write RAM" storage for save files. Does "WRAM" correspond to the "RAM" option that Sanni prompts for during mapping configuration, and if so do I need to set it (to 8k in this case) to dump Gaiden 1/2 successfully, even though I don't want to retrieve any save file information that might be on the cartridge?

Yes that is correct. I should add that information to the Wiki.
