flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It is designed to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware/optionROM images on mainboards, network/graphics/storage controller cards, and various other programmer devices. Supports more than 476 flash chips, 291 chipsets, 500 mainboards, 79 PCI devices, 17 USB devices and various parallel/serial port-based programmers. Supports parallel, LPC, FWH and SPI flash interfaces and various chip packages. No physical access needed, root access is sufficient (for mainboards, presumably).
A site which takes a totally legit copy of the ROM of Final Fantasy 1 for the original NES and lets you randomize many aspects of the game, including the type of game (regular, hunting for x of something, boss rush, boss battle types), whether or not the bugs in the original ROM are fixed, what's in the shops, and other things. You can supply a seed to the randomizer or let it pick its own. Then download the ROM, load it into an emulator, and see how you do.
Someone fed ROM dumps from a couple of Atari games into distellamap and generated maps of function calls, with sprite dumps. Amazing, how simple games were back then...
