Back in the day you could also just boot to a minimum environment to dump chipram after a soft-reset, and 99% of the time the mod would still be there (unless it was stored right at the beginning of memory), and you could just scan the memory dump for the mod.
I had a special memory dumper that fit in a bootblock to do this. No graphics etc. to eat chipmem, just stick in a new floppy and hit space and it would dump all 512k of chipmem to a blank floppy.
A few games had a reset vector protection to stop you from doing this, but not many.
