The article says a free version isn’t available, that isn’t accurate:

You’re limited to 3 games and it has ads, but it does exist. Probably good enough to test if it works for your favourite games.

I need to fix my Saturn’s cartridge slot somehow.

  Unless you have experience with retro console repair, it may be best to take it to someone who does. I’d look at retro game shops around you and call to see if they do those sorts of repairs or if they could point you in the direction of someone who does.
