Is there any way or a device you can use to backup SNES *GAME SAVES*?

I'm really wondering if there is a way to backup Super Nintendo game saves stored on a SNES cart with a save battery. (presumably backing them up on some kind of flash media device or on your PC, tho whatever works...)

That way when the save battery for the cart inevitably dies, you could simply transfer the game save data back into the cart, after replacing the save battery of course, and then you would never lose any game saves. ^_^


I didn't even think this was possible until I recently discovered a third party cart called the "N64 Passport Plus III" (3) that when combined with a N64 Dex Drive lets you move the game saves IN a N64 cart to the controller pak and then to a PC. :-) (and BACK into the cart again so you could restore them later ). :-O

So does anyone know of any way to backup SNES game Saves from a actual SNES cart?

The only thing I could think of would be a ROM dumper that attached to the serial/expansion port on the bottom, at least I think that's how they did it back in the day. I assume that's how they did it back in the day anyway. All that type of stuff is both illegal, and no longer produced though.
