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?

I really can't stand it when people feel the need to denigrate other people's hobbies.

what's denigrating about calling the game a number? Is the hobby collecting devices from China? Why not figure out how an N64 works and dump it yourself if that's your hobby?

I'm not against the idea, homey. I just wouldn't plug this device into my computer. Grab an Arduino or JTAG cable.
