NES Adapter
Ryoku7
Works Great! But a little thin / Setup Difficult.

So, I bought this adaptor to backup my NES saves and it worked surprisingly well! Only complaints I would have is the adaptor is not as easy to use as the other built-in options. From what I can tell there is no auto-detection for NES carts. You have to go to the NES cartridge forum and find the setting for the specific game you want to backup BEFORE hitting anything on the S.T.H builder. After punching in all the correct cart information it works great, but you have to be very specific beforehand. I put some labels on the back of my carts after backing up just for future use. Also the file structure doesn't remember the name of your NES game with this method so I'd advise doing your backup and then plugging it into your PC to change the names of the newly created files before you move on.

Also, it is pretty thin and flimsy feeling so to make it sturdier you can saw an unused SNES cart down and put this board into the empty shell. It is designed to drop in perfectly and even matches the keying so you can't insert it backwards. After about an hour of sanding, applying some hot glue and cleaning up my custom Cart it looked like this. Even added the Ukraine sticker to complete the look i wanted. It's much sturdier now and looks great. Hopefully this gives the next buyer some good ideas for their own build.

Thank you again SaveTheHero! You are preserving my whole collection and a history of my childhood game saves going back over thirty years.

Hello Ryoku san, Thank you so much for the wonderful review!

NES has an automatic title detection feature. Could you please refer to this and give it a try?
Also, please make sure to clean the cartridge contacts before dumping.
Please update the device and replace the contents of the SD card as well.

Cart reader works great!

Cart reader works great with little to no issues even with the base firmware installed. I would recommend that you update the firmware once received since some games did fail to dump at first, but from a hardware perspective everything was great and I'm very satisfied with my order.

Great device and easy to use

Great device and easy to use, the only improvement I would recommend is putting the required settings on the different adapters (NES to SNES).
