 **Note on Development Cartridges:**
-The Retrode, the [[https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/discussions/295|Sanni Cart Reader]], and the RetroBlaster 2.0 with standard N64 adapter to dump development carts. 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.
+The Retrode, the [[https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/discussions/295|Open Source Cartridge Reader]], and the RetroBlaster 2.0 with standard N64 adapter cannot be used to dump development carts. The RetroBlaster 2.0 with N64 Pro adapter can be used, or the 64drive, however the latter is out of stock and may produce bad dumps with one type of development cart. The GameShark ProAction Replay Pro and some old copiers can also be used, but they are unreliable.

 Old hardware like v64, v64jr, z64, and cd64 are unreliable and not recommended. If you do have to use one, dump the cart multiple times, and clean the cart in-between each try.
-==== Opening carts ====
+===== Opening carts =====
 Unscrew the back of the cartridge with a 3.8mm Gamebit or line head screw driver, carefully separating the bottom half of the cart's shell. Then, remove the Phillips screws on the metal shielding to expose the PCB.
-==== For Reference: Identifying Game Versions ====
+===== Identifying Game Versions =====
 Once the cart has been opened, you can decode the letters/numbers stamped on the main chip.
