Open Source Cartridge Reader
This project represents a community-driven effort to provide an easy to build and easy to modify cartridge dumper.
Happy making. 🔧🔨😊
For any questions you can use the Discussions and/or Issues section here on Github or visit the accompanying thread in the Arduino Forum.
And be sure to check the guides in the Wiki too.
Features:
- Completely stand-alone, does not need a PC to operate (unless for updating firmware)
- Easy to modify open-source code, write your own extensions and share them with others
- Portable thanks to a battery/power bank
- Modular design using mostly off-the-shelf components
Supported Systems:
- Reads official NES, Famicom and Family Basic cartridges including save
- Supports Mapper 30/NESmaker and flashes INL NM30 boards
- Reads SNES roms and reads/writes save games from and to the SNES cartridge
Supported cartridge types so far: LoRom, HiRom, ExHiRom, DSP, SuperFX, SuperFX2, SDD1, CX4, SPC7110, SA1 (last two chips need Adafruit Clock Generator) - Reads and writes SNES Satellaview 8M Memory packs (BS-X cartridge and Adafruit Clock Generator needed)
- Reads and writes Nintendo Power Super Famicom Memory Flash Cartridges (needs Adafruit Clock Generator for best result)
- Reflashes some Chinese or custom-made SNES repros with AM29F032, MBM29F033, MX29LV320 or MX29LV640 flashroms
- Reads N64 roms and reads/writes save games(4K/16K Eeprom + Sram + all 3 types of Flashram), Eeprom needs Adafruit Clockgen by default, Proto carts are not supported yet
- Reads and writes N64 controller paks and also can test a N64 controller's buttons and thumbstick
- Reflashes some Chinese N64 repros with S29GL type flashroms
- Reflashes N64 Gamesharks with SST 29LE010(and similar) eeproms
- Reads Game Boy (Color) roms and reads/writes save games
- Reads and writes Nintendo Power Game Boy Memory Flash Cartridges
- Programs custom-made Game Boy (Color) flashcarts with AM29F016, AM29F032, MBM29F033 flashrom
- Programs EMS GB Smart 32M flash carts
- Programs Gameboy Camera Flashcart
- Reads Game Boy Advance roms and reads/writes the save games(4K Eeprom, 64K Eeprom, Sram/Fram, 512K flash, 1M flash)
- Reflashes some Chinese GBA repros with i4000L0YBQ0, i4400L0ZDQ0, MX29GL128E, MSP55LV128, PC28F256M29 or M29W128GH flashroms
- Reads Sega Mega Drive roms and reads/writes save games(Sram/Fram, Eeprom)
