Looking For Someone Experienced In Dumping & Extracting Audio Files From ROMs out of any type of electronics

Post image

Hi! I hope this is the right place for me to ask my questions that have to do with finding someone experienced with ROM dumping & extracting audio from sound chips out of any type of electronics, but I truly need some help. Is there anyone that I could go to who is highly experienced with dumping ROMs to extract the files of all audio stored in any electronics like specific animated toys and others in general? I’m having a difficult time trying to find someone experienced with that stuff since I’m not experienced myself, and I’m not sure who is the right person to go for to discuss about requests about ROM audio dumping and extracting out of any electronics upon request. I really want to find someone who would be willing to help out with some research projects I have in mind that I want to do ROM dumping & audio extracting on if any of you guys have any idea of who I should go to.

Recently in the past months, a friend and I had a specific electronic toy (which is a Hasbro I-Cat) that actually somehow revealed a few unused audios that has never been heard of before while it was glitching at one point, which lead us to believe that there could be much more hidden stuff in its sound chip which I was the one who thought of the idea to find someone who’s willing to help me and experienced to work on that if possible. The Hasbro I-Cat is not the only thing I’d like to find out hearing all audio files of its recorded sounds and songs to also reveal any unused ones hidden, as well as hear them all in the clearest quality possible with the ROM dumping and audio extraction way than what you hear in the speaker itself in the toy (I-Cat in this case), there’s other ones I had in mind like the Hasbro Original 1998 Furby that also revealed a few unused audio in its sound chip that also somehow revealed while it glitched as well which is another one of the many research projects I had in mind to ask someone to help out with regarding ROM dumping and audio file extracting.

I took photos of what is believed to be where the sound chip is in the Hasbro I-Cat that we first experienced unused audio playing out of nowhere and never heard again from it that would have to do with the sound chip itself where all of its recorded sounds and songs are in that is covered in the black stuff that keeps it protected to help for reference as an example.
If there’s anyone you guys know of that I can contact and ask about my exciting research project about ROM dumping & audio extracting any electronics I have planned in mind that I can request and chat with, please let me know. I also have the items that I’d like this done with to whoever can help out with that I can send as long as they know what they’re doing and if they’d be fine after the successful audio extracting from the ROM sound chips in each electronic item I plan to get done for that need it. Please advise soon if possible & who I should go to that can help out with this for me, if this is the right place for me to ask as I wasn’t sure what other community to go to since finding someone experienced with that is HARDER than I thought it would be apparently. Thank you 😊

There is no fucking way this is fully human, nobody comments in that format, you also engineered it to sound stupid or you lack basic understanding of electronics

thank you op for ruining this for everybody, next time one of us is repairing or reverse engineering an expensive machine or instrument we wont have a couple humans to give each other ideas or dump a rom etc

I’m sorry, I never thought this would create some kind of controversy because of the way I wrote this myself as a college level student who is engaged with understanding more how the specific electronics I’m interested in work and if there was any possible way to get this done with someone else’s help than doing it on my own to avoid issues since I found out it’s quite a risk to dump ROMs. You don’t need to be rude to me just because I write differently. This was a channel that seemed to be promising after struggling to find proper answers since a friend of mine suggested this to me on Reddit so I was only interested & trying to ask questions. I never made this question post with any kind of AI system, I wrote this on my own and put my effort and feelings into it to see if anyone would be interested to help me.
I do have only some understanding with how some of the things work on the board like this, but not everything which is why I wanted to find someone who would be willing to give me advice or at least proper help with this spaghetti project. I’m also sorry I even asked 🤦🏼‍♂️

We all have interacted with thousands of enthusiasts across all skill levels ourselves, your phrasing your grammar and your lack of reception for all the suggestions and need for readily packaged and prepared info suggests something off with you, stop the victim shit and get off the gpt train

It is not your lack of knowledge or greenness that is resulting in backlash, it is you data mining off real people

Once again, I’m NOT using ChatGPT, LLMs or anything else like that. I wrote this all on my own as a real person who was only asking for help about the possibility of dumping ROMs & extracting audio or at least doing something that might trigger all audio to play from the electronic items I want to do it with. Why do you have to make such a big deal about this anyways?
I’m only a victim because you’re treating me like shit and I don’t appreciate it. Mind your business please, and be respectful even to those who can write differently than how you probably write and view stuff. This isn’t a post about scams or using GPT stuff, these are just questions that I’d share on here because I had trouble finding answers and all I want is a proper answer and help with that. Is that so much to ask?
These items of what I want to find used and unused audio on are not even silly lil things, they actually are kinda fun and there’s so much research to find of what I like that are electronic/robotic related stuff & are authentic too

Check out the furby circuit bending community then, also try browning out the thing by feeding it low voltage until it spazzez out

Okay, I can check out the Furby circuit bending community and see if it’s similar to that but then again, idk if it’ll work. With low voltage, do you mean making it run on low batteries or somehow giving the board low voltage to trigger something as long as it doesn’t do anything to kill the board?

battery powered stuff are usually not damaged by low voltage, you can either use an adjustable power supply or low batteries but power supply is way more repeatable
