What exactly does it do?

If you develop homebrew for the N64, you can use this to run it on an actual N64 console. It is also used for playing backups of games. You can burn roms onto discs and play them.

Can I use it to dump roms/save data to my pc?

Yes, but you will need a parallel port adapter. I'm not sure if it's a standard adapter you can buy or not, but the schematics to build one can be found here: http://n64.icequake.net/mirror/slaanesh ... 64/ppa.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That link appears to be dead. Can I adapt parallel to usb?

[stuntpenguin007]

I don't know about the parallel to USB thing, but as for the dead link... can you access this page? http://n64.icequake.net/mirror/slaanesh ... 4/CD64.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Trying clicking on the link to the schematic from that page.

Got to it that time, thanks. Let me think about this, I'll let you know when I decide to buy, not that it matters, being an auction.
