Back Up Games *and* Saves with this Cartridge Reader! Save the Hero Builders / Sanni / Arduino

The new pre-built cartridge reader assembled by Save the Hero Builders leverages open-source work to back up your favorite SNES, Genesis, N64, GB/GBC, and GBA cartridges, with options to expand to NES, Master System, Neo Geo Pocket, and Wonderswan. It will also back up your save files, so you can resume your save games from decades past, all stored securely on a microSD card and ready to launch on your favorite emulation platform.

Please note that the Save the Hero Builders project is a high-quality assembly service; if you’re up for it, the cartridge reader can also be made at home using open source software developed by Sanni. Links to both the pre-assembled cartridge reader and the DIY project guides are below.
