Jakobud:
Hmmm... thats an interesting reason. I dont know if you can do this or not.  I dont know anything about the hardware used to dump games.  There are various SNES emulator state save archives around, like at Zophar.net. I would look around and see if you can find a state that is close to what you have in your game. And if you can't find anything, is it really that hard to get back to where you are if you started over again?  Super Mario World isnt too hard.

Beley:
Yes, you can grab the saved games(stored in the sram chip) off a cart just as easaly as you can grab the rom. you can build something to do this(more trouble then its worth, ive done it).  Or you can use one of the commercial cart "backup" units , ie super wild card, mega game hunter.

i dont know if all the "backup" units support sram dumping but both of the ones i have acually used(mega game hunter and something double fighter) did support it.

DAmnb:
My old 16mbits SuperWildCard supports it so im pretty sure everything else also does  ;)
Problem is that not all emulators use the standard sram save format as on the carts so even if you do dump it im not sure which emulators can load it.
Still this is going to set you back alot ($$$) so why not just replay the game on the emu and leave it at that?  :P

DaveMMR:
I assume you have the 96 and the star next to it?  It's probably easier to repeat that feat (which isn't all that hard anyway) than to go through the expense of copying a saved game (besides once you get that there's not much else you can do with the game).
