 Because the Retrode, the Sanni Cart Reader and the RetroBlaster 2.0 with standard N64 adapter [[https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/discussions/295|don't supply enough power]], //development carts cannot be dumped with them//. The 64drive, RetroBlaster 2.0 with N64 Pro adapter can be used. The GameShark ProAction Replay Pro and some old copiers can also be used, but they are unreliable. Because the Retrode, the Sanni Cart Reader and the RetroBlaster 2.0 with standard N64 adapter [[https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/discussions/295|don't supply enough power]], //development carts cannot be dumped with them//.
