Video of dumping a N64 cartridge
Setup
Apply the following switch settings:
(HW4/5 only have the 3V switch)
Important: For reading EEPROM saves you will need to have the Adafruit Clock Generator installed.
(Reading/writing Eeprom might not work with repros)
Furthermore the n64.txt database file needs to be in the root of the SD card.
Insert the N64 cartridge into the N64 slot and power on the cart reader.
Emulator saves:
If you want to write a savegame from an emulator to the cartridge or if you want to play a savegame from a cartridge in an emulator you might need to byte/word swap it first.
- To byte/word swap on Windows, you can download saturnu's ED64-Saveswap. For more details on this tool, you can reference this post on the EverDrive Forum.
- Alternatively, to byte/word swap on any other machine capable of running Python code, check out ssokolow's N64-Saveswap.
