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.
