Some games ask for the player's name/initials to populate a high score table, usually after the ending. There may be a time limit during which this may be entered (see Wizards & Warriors) or the game may just stay on that screen until the choice to end input is selected (see Wizards & Warriors III—loss of progress). What should be the official procedure when dumping these games, especially the ones that get "stuck" on the input screen? For W&W3, the entire ending finishes before the screen in question, so the dump could be ended with the last story screen. Is there any reason not to do this, or are there any games for which doing this would not be desirable?
