Hiccup

@Sinton You don't need a computer to dump/restore from carts to the SD card. But if you wanted to play the dumped ROMs on an emulator or flashcart, you would need to use a computer.

@Sinton You mean if it can act as a cartridge? No. You'd need to buy a flashcart for that.

@deKay This is open source and can dump NES/Famicom, SNES, N64, GB(C), GBA, SMD, plus with adapters you can dump even more. Also its open source hardware+software that's actively, developed and probably much faster/reliable than old things like that.

@Sinton @Roam85
This allows you to read ROMs and read/write save games from carts. It uses an SD card - you can plug the SD card into your PC. It doesn't require/use any console hardware. It looks like a pretty good kit for backups and preservation.

Its not "from" Save the Hero, they are just manufacturing some (not that this is a bad thing). Its Sanni's cart reader, which is open source (hardware + software): https://twitter.com/CartridgeReader/status/1489555753640013830
