Is there an EverDrive 64 x7 alternative that doesn't use that reset button thing for saving?
Summer Cart 64 is a good alternative though the menu for it is still in development - it is a DIY option, though
- Most of us are willing to spend as little as possible on games/consoles Resellers don’t play games they only care about the money. We need to get out hobby back. Who’s with me. Continued below.

Plans for an open source repro cartridge?
There's a couple I know of This one and this one. They're pretty different in functionality and design

- Does anyone know if it would be possible to wire a raspberry pi pico into something like a snes, n64, nes, or famicom and turn them into a cart ripper?

Added a CiB Shiren the Wanderer 2 to my collection.
This particular copy—which was $38 shipped; I probably could've done better, but it was convenient!—appears to have been owned by a Shin Sakuma (佐久間伸 Sakuma, Shin) who put more than a few hours into it judging from the saves. (Which I backed up using my Open Source Cartridge Reader, in the interest of preservation. 😌)
- Apparently in 1996, Nintendo already didn't want you making backups of your games. From the Super Mario RPG manual (featuring the Sanni cart reader I built lol).
-
Does the Mayflash PC adaptor allow memory card access?
I use my Open Source Cartridge Reader to read/write N64 controller paks. (And read/write save data from cartridges.)

Japanese prices are always absurdly low. This is $7.47 USD after tax.
In the long run, another solution might be to buy/build an Open Source Cartridge Reader and use it in combination with one of the more readily available modern flash cartridges.
- I cannot get CH341 drivers to install

A question to all our german friends
I'm not from Germany (I'm from France) but I did modify my Nintendo 3DS with something called Gomode9 to dump my DS and 3DS games, I did bought an external Blu-Ray reader BP50NB40 which can be used to dump PS3 games with a tool called ps3-disc-dumper and I built a Sanni Cart Reader (https://github.com/sanni/cartreader) to dump other kind of cartridge for older consoles.

Does anyone know the hex code for saves in metroid zero mission?
if your into soldering and have other retro games you want to look into the sanni cart reader https://github.com/sanni/cartreader
-
Is there any way to add emulated saves on an official Cartridge
If you can solder, sanni cartreader is probably the best way to go. Otherwise, you can pay to have one built.
