I do not plan to support them because I simply do not have the time nor slightest motivation to understand and implement the zillion different savegame schemes of the N64 (SRAM, EEPROM, etc). Sorry!

Right now, there remain a few open questions, most importantly where to get the card edge connectors. I do not want to order 200pcs, since there is NO WAY I will ever sell that many 2600 adapters. As for the N64 plug-in, I hope to get the final proto running by the end of next week (including the GBs!), at which point it will be all about ordering the parts. Again, it's the large quantities that give me a bit of a headache, but that can be figured out. Actually, I haven’t worked on the 2600 in ages, since N64 is just so much more fun with every regard.

I guess I could try making my own, and probably fry my Retrode in the process.

As far as I can tell, the Expansion Pak just adds 4MB of RAM. I don't think the carts that require it are special in the way they store their data.

If it can support that it truly something to take seriously. The problem is I am not sure if there any emulators that support those games.

It is missing the ground plane, which connects both pins to GND, so yes, you're right. Are you referring to the screenshot?
