That's pretty neat about save games, actually.. but this seems like a service tool not a purchase for everyone.

I definitely believe there are a few handfuls of games out there that need dumps. Most of them are owned by collectors who don't want the value of their collection to go down. Eventually they'll die and we'll get those too.
