Thanks for great project!

Here's my build: HW5 Rev.3 + 6-slot adapter
I am a total noob, but it works!
Little advice for the 6-slot: solder the SNES/SFC slot 1st, then the pin headers on the underside, and then the other slots.

HW4. I took this picture for the support thread on getting Phantasy Star IV working, so I might as well post it over here. :D

Also, my adapter PCBs are loosely color-coded to system. (I remember that yellow is Game Boy by thinking of it as "Pikachu Yellow".)

finally got my v5 PCBs (already had the cart adapter)
and have started my soldering
its gonna be an all black build.
so far ive done 3 changes.

1. put a right angle header on the 5v USB port for the arduino
2. crimped a female dupont pin onto a wire to use for the 5v USB power.
3. moved the fuse on the arduino to one of the ICSP pins, (the one next to the hole, but not pin 1. not sure if thats pin 4 or 6)
   this is probably not needed. but it makes me happy to know its still flashable without the adapter.

i will also be doing a socketed CIC on the adapter. and i will also be locating black ribbon cables for the display cables, and will lastly be painting the edges of the board (ill probably be using model paint as its cheap.)

HW3 V7.3
SFC SA1 was completely dumped. Many thanks for this wonderful project!:)

Another kind of "build"... a (working) dumping tower !

[cybik]

That's a tower of power all right.

I designed my own simpler base plate because I already had spacers for the display PCB.

Thanks, sanni, for making this possible!

thats an idea. and i have PLENTY of wood i can use to make a slate build.

[Stanton54]

Thanks to you guys I was able to dump all these games during testing. Next step is to go to dump the first games I ever played. Thanks again!

[Chomemel]

It's alive and finished !!!
Please, don't laugh. I asked a friend: "print the case with the color you never use !" ^^

Thanks a lot to everyone than helped me; especially Sanni for all your answers to my questions. Thanks for sharing this incredible project.

Hi guys! Here I am to report that my build of V. 5 Cart reader has been a totally successful project. I'm a some kind noob for electronics, soldering and building devices, so my build will never gonna win design/style prize/award, but I've managed to get all parts together and working. I'm very pleased with the result: A very heartwarming (at least for me) pack of NES, Famicom, SNES an N64 cartridges have been dumped, and even no single one could be found as an impossible task. All of the dumped roms are funcional and corresponding to database CRC's.

It is worthy to mention that in some cases I'had to try the dump more than several times, but after checkin' cart slot contacts or pcb's connections, all dumping jobs went OK.

I do attach some pics of the dumped carts as proof of completion of the whole list of dumped GEMS:

FULL LIST:

The dumped games are nowadays played by me on my Anbernic Win600 handheld (Retroarch on Steam AND Batocera via USB), on RetroArch for the unnamed (Using a SteelSeries Stratus XL Controller via BT dongle), and on RetroArch in a spare Android phone.

Nota Bene: The N64 cartridge is slightly off match with the pin holes, so it's not soldered but as it fits very tight into the pcb holes, the N64 cartridge reads sweetly.

THANKS TO SANNI AND ALL OTHER CODERS/CONTRIBUTORS/BUILDERS for making possible this so awesome Cart Reader Marvel!!!

Best Wishes and Have a happy new year for all of you folks,

Jessie

Would anyone consider selling these? I'm interested but don't have to tech knowhow to do it. Also does this essentially make the mister a game console as in set it up put in the cartridge turn on the mister and play whatever game?

[sanni]

The OSCR just dumps the ROM to the SD card. There is no real-time access to the cartridge over the USB port, therefore you can't connect it to the MiSTer.

Also please understand that this Github is for development and not a marketplace.

[Seroczynski]

I'm making five of these, all looking the same for obvious reasons. Loving them!

[lucadentella]

Just completed! Works perfectly... thanks a lot for sharing the project!!!

[Ancyker]

Finally got this built today :3

[rinemetal]

Used a carbon fiber pattern print bed and some silk pla to pull off a carbon and anodized look.

Sanni Cart Reader HW5 Wooden Style Enclosed Shell

[Chomemel]

Gorgeous !!! I like the mix electronics + wood. And what an excellent solution to close the shell.
Bravo.
