What’s the command you’re running? Could you post a screenshot of the directory you’re working in?
Edit: On another note this guide is pretty out of date. There’s an updated vcromclaim that uses Python 3:

C:\vcromclaim-master\wiimetadata.py C:\nand-extracteda
I am using the newer version of vcromclaim and python 3.8 and now am getting a different syntax error:
C:\vcromclaim-master\wiimetadata.py C:\nand-extracteda
File “”, line 1
C:\vcromclaim-master\wiimetadata.py C:\nand-extracteda
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
I think I see the issue. Are you running the Python command and then in the Python terminal entering the directories? If so, try it all in one line in a fresh cmd window:
python “C:\vcromclaim-master\wiimetadata.py” “C:\nand-extracteda”

I was just running 1 line with a space in between wiimetadata.py and nand-etracteda. i just copy/pasted what happened after I hit enter to show the error. Do I need to add quotations?
If there are spaces anywhere in the directory lines then yes, you would need the quotes. If it’s not too much trouble, would you be able to post a screenshot of the cmd window?

I see now, instead of using the python terminal use the cmd terminal. In the search next to the start button type “cmd” and it should be the first result. Then enter the command in there.

Any way of getting older firmware officially?

Not that I’m aware of. What’s your goal?

Older firmware for what? PS3?
Edit: Just saw what the reply was too. You can get old PS3 firmware from PS3 discs. If you have a certain LG Blu ray drive, you can use PS3 Disc Dumper to extract the data to your computer.

I assumed they want older PS1 and PS2 firmwares. But it’s unclear
Yes, that’s correct. Would be nice to have the full boot bios for Ps1 and 2 as well.
I believe only the PS2 is the full boot bios. If you’re still interested the list of drives are here:

Atari Flashback 8 Gold
Using a micro USB cable you can cut it open and solder the black, green and white wires to 3 of the 6 holes found on the PCB. See image below for reference.
PS This was my first time using a soldering iron.
Power up the console and put the USB plug into your computer. If everything is in order it should pop up when connected.
Since this is an Android device you will need ADB drivers to be able to access the files on your computer. Download SDK Platform Tools for your platform and unzip the file.
For Windows you can use Command Prompt to change directory to the platform-tools folder you just extracted. Example: cd C:\Users\YOURNAME\Downloads\platform-tools_r34.0.1-windows
Then use the command adb devices and you will see “List of devices attached DYQA8W5CM5 device” pop up on the prompt screen.
Type adb pull /system to dump all the content of the console to your platform-tools folder.
Inside the dumped folder \system\atgames\Atari you will find all the Atari 2600 ROMs included on the flashback.
Fun fact. It also includes the original 2600 version of Frogger and Space Invaders. Even if the Atari Flashback is based on the 2600, when you try play them on the TV they looks more like the plug-and-play NES-on-a-chip versions. If you want those versions as well you can find them as APK-files under \system\app called Frogger.apk and Invaders.apk. Those can actually be installed as apps on a Android device.

AtGames Legends Flashback
Using a USB to UART adapter with male to female jumper wire you can dump all of the included games. Even though you can, there is no soldering required to do this.
First, format a USB stick to FAT32. (Not sure if it’s necessary, but since it worked on the Super Retro-Cade, I formatted it with the partitioning scheme MBR, using Rufus.)
Use PuTTY (or other terminal programs) and set the serial port to COM (and the correct USB port number. COM5 in my case). Baud rate/speed to 1500000.
When the Linux command prompt starts up type in root and hit enter to get root access. (Not sure why, but I needed to do so before the login screen showed up.).
The games can be found in the folder called rom and the SD-card inside the folder called media. (/media/usbhd-mmcblk0p1/). You can make a folder at the root of the SD-card called GAMES e.g. and copy the content from the rom-folder into the SD-card: cp /rom/* /media/usbhd-mmcblk0p1/GAMS, or use the cp -r command to copy the whole folder instead (that way you will get the sub-folders copied over as well).

These efforts are wild! Nice work.
Thank you 
Excuse me, have someone tried extracting ROMs from the 3DS game “Ultimate NES Remix”?
Welcome!
Did you try this? I looked over it and it should still work, it requires a modded 3DS.
