The Open Source Cartridge Reader is a great project for backing up saves (very useful for replacing dying batteries) and dumping roms. It’s also great soldering practice. I chose to go the kit route from here since it was only slightly more expensive with the case than source everything yourself (no case kit: $125, with case: $145, source yourself: ~$134).

    Please help me understand how you have a photo in thumbnail in retrogaming community but nothing but an Imgur link in this one. I’d really prefer it to look more like retrogaming’s post but I don’t know why there’s a difference. Thanks for the post.

      Best guess, the retro gaming on was a single image. For console repair, I added multiple pictures to show some soldering.
