Deals SALE! Custom-built "sanni" N64-only game cartridge reader | ROM dumps | R/W saved games | Free Standard Shipping
This is our custom designed and built 'sanni' game cartridge reader with a single slot for Nintendo 64 cartridges only.

Each device is hand-assembled and quality tested in our home studio. We have several color choices available and are adding new (and in-demand) colors every day. (COMING SOON! Ask us about our soon-to-be-available option to request your own custom color!)
