I had a very similar issue a few weeks back with Zelda 1. My issues though was a couple of things, first it was I needed to clean it even more (which it seems you have done), and second I thought it was the wrong region, so that affected my choices when choosing which settings to dump it with. Make sure you are following this guide; and check out the different links which point you to which settings to use for different games Beyond that, it’s maybe better for someone else to help 🤷♂️ |

Can you post the last entries(multiple Zelda dump logs would be best) of the OSCR_LOG.txt found in the root of the SD card? Example: |

Yes I can. I can't find in the wiki on how to update it, just to flash it. Do I need to remove the Arduino from the unit to flash it? I hope not. That'd be annoying. |

No need to disassemble it, just plug it into PC, turn it on, start arduino.exe from the latest portable release and upload code. https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/How-to-flash-the-Arduino |

Awesome! And one last dumb question before I try updating it. Do I need to turn on the Arduino board itself, or can I turn on the whole unit with it's power switch? |

Whole unit. |

I flashed it to 12.1 and it still won't rip properly. Now the emulator that I use (fceux) doesn't even recognize it as a NES ROM. The old rips would load into a gray screen, but this one now throws an error. I have two dump logs from rip attempts after the update. I cleaned the pins before the second dump. I can't see a difference between the two, but I'll post both just in case: OSCR HW5 V12.1 [+] NES/Famicom Searching database CRC not found in database Select Mapping from List NES CART READER CURRENT SETTINGS MAPPER: 1 Press Button... [+] Read iNES Rom Saving to NES/ROM/LegendofZeldaTh/78/... Press Button...

since you already have the pcb removed, you can try something slightly more abrasive for cleaning than IPA, maybe hit it with a pink eraser, then IPA again. It might just be the lighting but the front contacts still look a bit iffy. |

The pins look fine to me, but here are some more pictures with the pins getting better lighting. Couldn't get the lighting even so i just have 4 pics (one for each side of the pins) |

I am having the exact same problem with The Legend of Zelda. Interestingly enough for me the reader identifies the cartridge as the European release, despite it being the NES-ZL-USA (Rev A) version I have. I am using Version 13.1 of the Sanni software. |

Could you send me the file (CRC 50597A85) so I can investigate? |

Hello. I was able to dump my entire cartridge collection using the OSCR with minimal issue. Some games needed me to manually pick their name from the directory, but after the checksum happened it was all good. That is except for my copy of The Legend of Zelda for the NES. I have been testing all of my games on emulators to make sure that they have all transferred properly. Zelda is the only one I'm still having an issue with. It isn't auto detected, when I dump it the checksum never says its name, and the emulator (fceux-2.6.4) won't launch the game only leaving me on a gray screen. I have tested another version of the Zelda ROM on the emulator just to make sure it works and the borrowed ROM does launch without an issue. I have cleaned the cartridge (white eraser and 91% IPA) over and over. The game works on my actual console. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong at this point. If anyone has any idea what I could do to remedy this, that help would be very much appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day :)
There are some pictures of the actual cartridge PCB if that helps at all:

Here is that the LCD shows during the process of dumping the ROM
