I wonder if the creator ever got around to implementing thatRetrode user develops NES plug-in
This just in: Regular contributor Wannado, over at the Retrode forums, just announced that he has been able to read NES cartridges through his self-built plug-in. We’re looking into ways for you to get your own NES plug-ins too, and to factor his firmware modifications into the next update.
BUT then again, this was posted years ago (2014)
While you say you’d expect it to, does it actually allow you to dump the games to a pc? I’d prefer a device I could put a game in and connect it using a usb. Does anyone here know the best device with that function that doesn’t require a lot of work?I should emphasize that the Retron and the Retrode are two completely different things.
(The Retron is really just an emulator box with cartridge slots, so you would expect it to be able to dump things – just not straight out of the box.)
A Google search for "dump cartridges with a retron" (no quotes) should tell you what you need to know.While you say you’d expect it to, does it actually allow you to dump the games to a pc?
A Google search for "nes usb dumper" (no quotes) is also informative.I’d prefer a device I could put a game in and connect it using a usb.
I get dumping and restoring saves (from those NES games that had them anyway) but why are you so keen on dumping ROM images?While you say you’d expect it to, does it actually allow you to dump the games to a pc?

Is it as simple as dumping and that's it? I was looking into some devices and it says hat you need to write in information yourself after the rom is dumped. If this is as simple as dumping into an sd card and that's it that sounds like a good deal.The Cartreader I posted is able to directly dump to a SD card. If you do not know how to build it yourself I know a german forum message board where the creator and other people who rebuilt it are online. If you want to I can ask for you if some of them would sell one that is allready completely built.
