Maniac Mansion NES Question
I believe I heard that Maniac Mansion NES can be run on SCUMMVM but I'm not sure if it is true. Also, I don't know how to get it to work so steps on how to get it to work if it is true would be nice.

P.S. See Forum Rule #1 i.e. we often have good documentation if you look for it.
P.P.S. You will need either a commercial cartridge dumper to dump a ROM image of the cartridge. If you don't have one, you can build one from an open source design. See: https://github.com/digitall/eprom_reader

Instructions
Is there a visual guide to this? I got it wrong and I'm a little confused about the instructions. I've never used Hex Editor before.
If you are using Unix, then you can do this with the dd utility:
dd if=<ROM Input File Name> bs=1 skip=16 of=<ROM Output File Name>
This should work on OSX as well. If you are running Windows, then you should be able to use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnxUtils to do this.
For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29
The options I have given are "bs=1" which sets the block size to 1 byte and "skip=16" which skips 16 blocks, thus 16 bytes before copying the rest of the file.
Apart from this, I think the "extract_mm_nes" utility in scummvm-tools will operate on the full ROM file dumped out and extract the required LFL files which can be used instead of the ROM image.
