Looking to ROM dump just a handful of games, so I’m trying not to spend hundreds on a Sanni or Retrode. I saw this on AliExpress for $15.

I’ve personally had good luck with Alibaba and Aliexpress, but I recognize that this could just straight not work. There’s no documentation, but it claims the game data will show up like files on a USB flash drive.

Anybody know where this design came from?

I have a super Mario world cart that has retained its save data. 20 years old now…pretty nuts

My OG Legend of Zelda cart (NES) still has working saves on it with the original battery…

My only game that’s had its save battery die is my copy of Final Fantasy for the NES. All my other games save just fine!

Cool to know there are some that are still hanging on! If you care about keeping the saves into the future you should do something about it now, because the battery dying is a question of when not if
