Anybody tried one of these RPi based N64 cart dumpers off Aliexpress? (lemmy.world)

Looking to ROM dump just a handful of games, so I’m trying not to spend hundreds on a Sanni or Retrode. I saw this on AliExpress for $15.

I’ve personally had good luck with Alibaba and Aliexpress, but I recognize that this could just straight not work. There’s no documentation, but it claims the game data will show up like files on a USB flash drive.

Anybody know where this design came from?

Stop making me sad. I have hundreds of hours poured into VPW2 customizations on a cart that hasn't been powered up in 20 years at least. In my heart, that save is still alive.

Sorry =x

BUT! With modern emulator editor hacks you could have the fun of rebuilding it all without pouring all the hours into it again!
