Building a ROM Dumper – The Open Source Cartridge Reader

In this video, I'll show you how to build your own ROM dumper for under $40, by using the Open-Source Cartridge Reader (OSCR) project. This is a standalone device that will let you make backups of over 30 different types of classic video game cartridges. I’ll take you through the end-to-end build process and explain how the device works along the way. I’ll also be testing its saved game features and see if it’s possible for me to inject a saved game from my Analogue Pocket handheld FPGA into a real game cartridge. 🛍️ Cart Reader Auctions: - Urban Grey: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115980328635 - Galaxy Black: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115980332398 - Signal White: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115980322463 - Jet Black: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115980335298 🔗 Links Mentioned in this Video: - Open Source Cartridge Reader Project: https://github.com/sanni/cartreader - OSCR Parts List: https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/What-to-order - List of Games that Use SNES Enhancement Chips: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips - TL866-II Programmer: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Programmer-TL866II-EEPROM-Adapter/dp/B07KPJZCWT - RetroArch: https://www.retroarch.com - JLCPCB: https://jlcpcb.com - PCBWay: https://www.pcbway.com - ATMega 2560 MCU (the one that I used, which works with undervolting): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TGF9VMQ - Fully Enclosed OSCR Case: https://www.printables.com/model/409926-kytor-industries-fully-enclosed-open-source-cartri #RetroGaming #OpenSource #GamingHardware
