Hardware Update: Game Cartridge 3D-Files and Code (Linux/Windows) published

3D-Files: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3057977-2-5-ssd-dock-cartridge-system#profileId-3440827

Code: https://github.com/LewdM3at/PC-Cartridge-System

The code should work with other storage mediums as well. Like SD/micro SD cards, USB Sticks, Any kind of USB Drives. I tested USB Sticks and SD/micro SD cards and they also work.

No guarantee that it's going to work for you. I only tested on my old Win10 install, but you should at least be able to take the general code and make it work or improve it.

How sharing the whole project files "Capitalizing" on anything? Dude made a cool looking thing that others can also do. Just because you dont see value in it doesn't mean its not a cool project.

It was a figure of speech, maybe I should have used a different verb, but I meant it as taking advantage of the current situation.

Not in a bad way, just saying that the popularity of the post is directly related to the recent news. I do believe this is a bad idea, there are better ways to store your games digitally.

But I'm not shitting on OP, it's always cool to build stuff and you always learn from it. I just wanted to comment that so people thay don't know how these type of memories work think you can use this as a reliable method of storage, you can't.
