PicoCart64: Nintendo 64 flash cart using a Raspberry Pi RP2040
Not a retail release, but 2MB is plenty for homebrew development. For example, there is a clone of Flappy Bird[1] written for the open-source LibDragon SDK[2] that works great on PicoCart64. With FPGA-based flash carts increasing in price and decreasing in availability, I welcome any solution that lowers the barrier to entry for testing homebrew on real consoles.

Nintendo 64 Java
There's an open source effort to build one with a Pi Pico: https://github.com/kbeckmann/PicoCart64/tree/develop
I have no clue how tested it is, and README mentions only up to 2MB ROMs, but it is a start.

Another open source flash cartridge based on the RP2040 chip
The main idea is to make the cartridge as simple and cheap as possible. Contrary to Konrad's idea of multiplexed PSRAM chips and two RP2040, I decided to use one SPI flash memory chip and one RP2040. Modern flash chips allow to erase and flash data more than 100,000 times, which is more than enough for home use for many years. Since the RP2040 does not support SPI flash chips larger than 16MB, it was decided to use page mode with page switching through the Extended Address register (EA register).

Raspberry Pico-based 100-Msps logic analyzer
The mentioned N64 cartridge is most likely this project:
https://github.com/kbeckmann/PicoCart64/
The creator [0] tweets about it frequently, in particular this thread [1]. It uses the cool RP2040 Stamp [2] mini-board with FlexyPins [3], a very interesting way of putting putting boards with castellated edges (that's the patterned edge with contacts built right into it) onto a carrier board.
