The Open Source Cartridge Reader is a great diy project for dumping your own roms and saves. If you order a kit with the surface mount components already installed, it’s also a great beginner soldering project.
Cloud saved banjo kazooie runs. The future is now.
The closest thing I ever used that backed up actual hardware was a Playstation 1 card reader. At the time I was backing up game saves and porting them to the ps2 for emulation or something i forget exactly.
It was wild to do something like that on your computer back then. A Sony memory card in your PC? Bonkers.
Awesome project. Please crosspost this to !3dprinting@lemmy.world
Thanks and done
Nice! I got my Save the Hero Builders OSCR and it’s fantastic. Backed up my whole cartridge collection
Yeah they make pretty solid prebuilts, this was a diy kit.
Love my retrode 2 but this one looks awesome.
The retrode was a good device when you could buy it. What I like about this one is that you can dump all the popular cart systems without needing adapters, while being able to build additional adapters for less common systems.
Awesome project.
