Found this on AliExpress for £17, comes with a 8GB microSD filled to the brim with games. I feel like in my opinion that its too much for the money, but also, you could do it yourself on the cheap with a microSD to SD card adapter by swapping around the pins which is what this adapter is doing here. This will only work apparently as the description says with 3.70 or below.

Interesting find on AliExpress for £17. Thinking you could probably DIY it with a microSD to SD card adapter for less, but they mention it only works on 3.70 or below. Worth considering the pros and cons :)

You can make your own. I found an image on how to do it here:

In order for it to work though, you need to install the jailbreak firmware for 3.70 or below called "JailBreak_V0.4-5-gecf6931.img", which is based off firmware version 500a. Suppose you could also make a PCB with the pins swapped and add a microSD slot, which is what the manufacturer created. This specific adapter on the listing came originally with the NGX Tools package.

I’m confused. Do you mean DIY the microSD or DIY the games shown on the link? I don’t know if I’m familiar with any of them.

The console that had huge carts, now the games are in a tiny card.
They didn't put much effort into storage for their carts, just a botched up SD card that swaps the data lines around.
