I have a Sanni Open Source Cartridge Reader (OSCR). Does anyone want their games and saves backed up? (github.com)

I really like this device. It's really cool to see my saves on another device. Some of them are well over 30 years old. Right now though, it isn't seeing much use because I have all of my media backed up. Every once in a while I get something new and that's about it.

These are pretty expensive. I bought mine for $265. So to put this to good use, does anyone want to have their content backed up? I don't know all the details on how it would be handled yet. I thought I'd gauge interest first. It definitely takes some time to do, so it wouldn't be something I would be doing for free, but I'm sure we could come to a reasonable price.

I could also be interested in lending it to you for a fee and/or deposit. But again, I'm just gauging interest right now.

I'm very curious what you think would work best. Also, if you are interested, you can leave a comment or direct message me.

What are your geographic constraints, if any?

Great question. I am in the United States and it would probably be best to stick with the United States for now. Probably Canada too.

Of course, I would like it if anyone from any country could use it, but that starts to get complicated. If a lot of people are interested, that may change things.
