From the project
Open Hardware SNES Cartridge with save capability
This project was possible thanks to poorstudenthobbyist (Very nice and informative guides) and whicker (Showed the basics of how to wire a FeRAM to SNES), as well as other members of NESdev forums.
I also find the canibalization of original cartridges for making repros, while understandable in many cases, discusting, so, may this project help to curb this practice.
