supposedly supports NGP carts via a user-defined adapter, which in theory would mean being able to dump their ROMs and read and write save data. Unless you can create a circuit board from a software definition of one though you might be out of luck; I don't know that anyone is actively making and selling the adapters. The base reader itself is pretty sweet aside from that though, and it does natively support GB, GBC, and GBA carts.
from Paleface.

Here's the NGP adapter one user made for it:
 
The software definition ("Gerber file") of the NGP adapter board for the Sanni is https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/tree/bd3eaa106b6e4cbdffbfa89a3fb5fedf3e028b17/pcb/adapters

Instructions for getting the PCB made for you from https://jlcpcb.com/ are https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/How-to-order-a-PCB

The connector for the NGP carts to the board is probably https://www.adafruit.com/product/3342 ; other candidates include https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sullins-connector-solutions/RBB40DHHN/927341 and https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/pi-supply/PIS-1240/10315765 (same as the adafruit one apparently).

Apparently that first adapter "works great, with some necessary modifications. A bit of work with a dremel and hot knife." And maybe soldering or whatever connects it to the printed adapter board, I suppose? Anyway their result is the one pictured.
