shmerl: I made a script for extracting the ROM files (thanks for help from Castlevania community about offsets and header data):

See here: https://gist.github.com/shmerl/202332219bebb5e5135ad41140f8f6d5
Question: If those ROM files are extracted, you could just run them in another NES emulator or MAME, and they'd run, correct?

Yes! I only tested them in Nestopia though.

[A bunch of silly stuff about not being able to run the script.}

Never mind, I figured out how to use it. Thanks for the super-helpful script, Shmerl!

I found a way using "misanthroat" and "blakstar" post. (Thnx both of you!!!)

Using bash in Win10. Use following commands 1 by 1.

NES ROM Header

dd if=cc.exe skip=1041776 bs=1 count=16 > nes_header

dd if=cc.exe skip=124272 bs=1 count=131072 > castlevania

cat nes_header castlevania > castlevania.nes

dd if=cc.exe skip=255344 bs=1 count=262144 > castlevaniaii

cat nes_header castlevaniaii > castlevaniaii.nes

dd if=cc.exe skip=517488 bs=1 count=393216 > castlevaniaiii

cat nes_header castlevaniaiii > castlevaniaiii.nes

dd if=cc.exe skip=910704 bs=1 count=131072 > contra

cat nes_header contra > contra.nes

dd if=cc.exe skip=1041792 bs=1 count=131072 > jackal

cat nes_header jackal > jackal.nes

dd if=cc.exe skip=1172864 bs=1 count=262144 > superc

cat nes_header superc > superc.nes

After this repair the headers with this:

blakstar: I downloaded the following:
NES header database: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19940 (nothing illegal, just an XML database)
NES Header Repair python script: https://github.com/Kitrinx/NES_Header_Repair
I unzipped them both in the same directory as my reconstructed NES ROMs, and ran the script. Please note that it does a trial run to make sure that everything is OK -- to actually make any changes, you have to edit the script and change TRIAL RUN from 1 to 0.
