The Open Source Cartridge Reader is a great diy project for dumping your own roms and saves. If you order a kit with the surface mount components already installed, it's also a great beginner soldering project.

I thought the saves were in my memorypak though?
Most N64 games don't actually use the controller pak, instead using their own battery saves
Hmmm, I still have my N64, all my old games, etc and could test. Do you know if there is a way for me to check the memorypak to see what games actually saved to it?
Now that you mention it, I recall either OoT or MM saving to the cart directly.
Edit: May have found my own answer:
Will check and report back.
To add to this, the reader also has a N64 controller port so you can also dump memory cards via a controller.
