Someone should buy this and then charge like $5 to backup someone's cartridge for them.
Too expensive for everyone to own
Yeah seriously.
Also are we not at a stage where most games have been dumped perfectly already?
This is for preserving one’s own library, which makes emulation fully legal instead of the wink wink “legal” that many gamers find themselves in.
Some people care about piracy laws?
Nintendo bootlickers salty about having to pay a subscription for Super Mario Bros.
Most of the cartridges this device can dump are so old that nobody will come after you for owning such dumps, whether they're from your cartridge or not. It'll also be hard to prove that the ROM isn't from your own cartridge if it's a clean ROM.
