Undumped and incorrectly dumped games

ROMs do not last forever — specialized hardware used on some cartridges may last even less time. There is an active community of people interested in maintaining data about dumped ROMs to ensure games are not lost forever. However, some releases are rare. making it hard to track down and dump the ROM (Sansan was this way for a long time); in some cases, this happens to particular revisions of games. Not all dumps are good dumps — overdumping (when more is dumped than the EEPROM actually has and there is wraparound — which could probably have other errors) or bad dumping (when something goes wrong and the data is not bit perfect) can also happen. Finally, homebrew developers are actively looking out to ensure piracy of their games do not happen, and consequently those games also remain undumped, as they have fallen for the completely baseless idea that any proof that a game is dumpable will always, immediately lead to mass piracy that knocks all game sales down to absolute 0; much to everyone's extreme misfortune, they will both actively target ROM dump groups and preservation groups and use hardware mechanisms that are known to guarantee low data retention (for instance, CPLDs that are only known to last ~10 years).

Valis III Japan	????? — see description	The no-intro ROM name was changed after the list was made to "Valis III (Japan) (Rev A).md." However, the list says they have 1.1, and are missing 1.0. This might mean 1.1 is Rev A, and 1.0 is another revision. Investigation needed.
Wonder MIDI	Undumped
World Championship Soccer II	US dumped, EU undumped
World Cup Soccer/World Championship Soccer	????? — see description	The no-intro ROM set has an unidentified revision, a "v1.2," and a "Rev B." However, the list says they have "v1.0," "v1.2," and "v1.3," and are missing "v1.1." Much like with Valis III, this requires investigation...

Zhong Guó Xiàng Qí	Undumped	Rather rare, though copies are known to circulate and screenshots exist. Realtec game, so be wary of its mapper. Actual name unknown.

Furthermore, the following are on no-intro's undumped list, but the ROMs they have are marked as for more regions than the list indicates, so it is possible the undumped ROMs were dumped and found to be identical to the already dumped ones, unless there is evidence of difference — this requires some investigation. The list is outdated so this could have been investigated already (outdated entries on their list that can be proven easily from the current datfiles are already omitted from this page).
