Does anybody have experience with these Everdrive flashcarts? They have them for a lot of systems and they seem like a dream come true, especially the n64 one since n64 emulation is a mess. But you know, I'd have to send my money to strangers and hope they ship this thing back, so I was wondering if anyone here has tried them out at least to know if they actually work well.

Buy the actual carts or don't even bother. The library is super small and only has a few outliers in terms of expensive pricing. Literally no excuse.
>>
>>3620495
>Literally no excuse.
What about money? Or time to find a specific cart in this day and age?
>>
>>3620493
i haev them for snes and genesis and its great. if you do get them then make sure you get a good sd card like sandisk pro. cheap nasty sd cards will cause slowdown.
>>
>>3620495
Oh fuck off. Even if it only has 10 games worth owning, most of them are $25-$50 and it's still significantly more expensive to get all of those than an everdrive.

I mean shit, just a cart of CBFD costs almost as much as an Everdrive.

Got it for the gbc and it literally was a dream come true; I thought there had to be a catch somewhere but there wasn't- it was just expensive. I haven't tried to connect it to other systems or shit like that but it's played every game perfectly. As far as shipping, buy from the direct site and you shouldn't have a problem, that's what I did, and there's an active support forum as well.

>>3620495
Don't know why I'm replying to bait but my paper mario didn't work when I got it; small library or not, it's nice to know your stuff is gonna work.

+ You can backup your save files to your computer via SD Card. Don't have to worry about batteries dying or switching them out.
+ The entire library on one cart. No more swap out cartridges. Less wear and tear on the N64.
+ Can play any N64 game, including Japanese titles, translations, ROM hacks and patched games, betas, etc.
+ Way cheaper
>>
>>3620493
Why all retarded questions about flash cartridges are asked with SNES or N64 in mind?
>>
>>3621175
It's pretty expensive, that's why the question comes up
But people have to know that it's a one time purchase for the entire N64 library, USA, EUR, JAP games + Mods and RomHacks. I am always on the fence of getting one since I don't think the N64 is the best console, but my friends always so it is cuz normiezz lol
>>
>>3620493
I've got a Chinese EverDrive N8 for my Famicom and it's amazing, and I have an official Turbo EverDrive for my PCE and it too is amazing.
>>
>>3621175
popular consoles.

i like my sd2snes enough that i'm thinking about grabbing an nes and genesis everdrive. if i could find the gameboy player cheap enough, i'd also grab the gba one, too.

I want to get one for Genesis but I am unsure which version is the best just for running all the Genesis games, like do I need to get the super expensive one to have game saves or qhat?
>>
>>3621175
Because for some fucking reason those are the /vr/ consoles outside Neo Geo with some the most expensive prices relative to game rarity. Super Mario 64 isn't a rare game by any chance, but fuck me if the price for one cart-only isn't below $20 on average. Fucking lttp and super metroid are also getting pricy with each year, and the funniest part is that the SFC versions are dirt cheap in comparison because their country isn't riding nostalgia bait bullshittery fueled by youtube e-celebs.
>>
>>3620493
If you just wanna play games, buy it.
Only collector cucks like me need real cartridges
>>
>>3620493
Would be nice for ROMHacks and Fan Translations. No idea for N64 since it's a haze to me. But might be better for NES and SNES. Latter if it has the required hardware in the cart for certain games.
>>
>>3620495
The current prices of Paper Mario and Conker alone are enough to justify getting one of these. Piss off.

Can you do this as easily with ED64 2.5 as you could with 3.0

I don't know abvout the 64 one but I've got older Everdrive models for both the Mega Drive and SNES. They are quality products and I can only assume the newer ones are at least as good.

>>3620495
Actually, there's no excuse for being a collector when there's a flashcart available.

If only you could buy games with your snap card.

Still a lot cheaper than if you'd buy them individually. Don't tell the hoarders on autism bucks cause they will call you "poor" if you'd rather use your brains than your emotions ...

Hypothetically, If I were to want to purchase a Chinese knock off of an everdrive where would I go? Someone I know said that they couldn't find any on aliexpress when searching for 'everdrive.'

I'm excite but I imagine everything will sell out fast and I'll be put on a 6month waiting list for a flash cart.

For anyone curious, here are the chinese flashcarts on Aliexpress:

You'll be fine if you order from Krikzz directly OP. The only issue that could some up is the shit shipping through customs, but I don't think there are any major reports of that happening.

If you're super concerned about that, you can always go the StoneAgeGamer route, since they're in the states.

If you want to save a few bucks, you can sometimes find people doing group buys directly form Krikzz, since he offers a bit of a discount on bulk orders.

I bought from stoneagegamer when I got my SD2SNES, as the chinese versions of it seem to be a bit sketchier. Was expensive, but it works flawlessly and looks nice. As for my N8, I got a cheap China knockoff and it works flawlessly, so honestly for NES, I'd say that's the way to go.
>>
>>3623184

I just hate stone age gamers logo, so i don't like ordering anything from them.

I have an ED 64 v2.5 and I think it's the best thing I've ever bought. I get all the N64 games I want to play and I made the money for it several times over by selling my old carts.

I also have a chinese Everdrive MD, it cuts the mustard well enough. All the genny and 32x games I could want to play. Someday I'll get the upgraded krikkz original though, so I can run SCD BIOS and play other-region games.
>>
>>3623242
Would you mind explaining the different Everdrive MD's? I've been considering one, but there are like 4 different ones... which one is the best?
>>
>>3623063
I've never had issues. I buy a couple carts every year on black friday.
>>
>>3623184
The chips for the chinese ones are actually bought from krizz directly, so they're pretty good. But the firmware updates are different and if you try to use krizz's updates on the chinese version you can brick it.
>>
>>3623401
For which cart? The N8? Cus I haven't updated my N8 to V15 due to that very concern.
>>
>>3620969
That only happened because you bought it from the russians instead of the chinese.

Haha what the fuck. Even without the black friday sale It'd be cheaper to buy the fucking thing in the UK what the fuck.

I just unzip the roms to the sd card or what

Damn chinese

I just looked at the krikzz website;
the SD2SNES looks like it's only available as a black cartridge - is there a way to get it in traditional grey?

I want to put sticker labels on them (super mario world for snes, goldeneye for n64) to make them look more authentic
>>
>>3626828
I recommend smokemonster romset pretty easy to find with a nigger search
>>
>>3626882
krikzz runs another website called retrogate.com which has a grey cartridge.
>>
>>3626248
totally unrelated
>>
>>3627150
So I get the rom set and just load it on there? Seems pretty easy
Thanks btw
>>
>>3620495
Those outliers do make a big difference though. What if I only want a copy Conker's but go for the Everdrive for the same price. Seems like an okay deal to me.
>>
>>3627695
???)
>>
>>3626882
>>3627153
you could also just swap it out for a gray cart shell, you'd need to dremel some holes though.

my edv2.5 is in a turok case, it was the only game i had that i couldn't fix.
>>
>>3629165
Yes. Just put the ROMset on there and boom. Good to go. Fair warning, the N8 only allows 255 items to display per folder and they go alphabetically, so you'll have to break up folders into letters for sure if you want to actually see everything.
>>
>>3629359
Thank you very much

So, how good are chinkshit flashcarts? Is buying a cheap pal snes on ebay and a chink flashcart on aliexpress a viable idea for an intro purchase?
>>
>>3620495
>literally no excuse

i bought the snes everdrive for the price of a fucking snes console. I was planning on getting some games, but games average between $25-$499 because fucking nintendo neck beards gotta enforce collector price tags.

If I want to dump cash on a console worth investing in I'd get a fucking neo geo.

I lost all my genesis games and console when I went to college thanks to parents clearing out my room without my consent after I ahd been gone for a fucking week. I got all that shit off ebay, rpgs and all, for right at $200.

if I did the same for snes. I could get the console and 2, maybe 3, games. No thank you.
>>
I want to get an SD2SNES, except my SNES is PAL 50Hz

So do games play with 100% accuracy?

Mod the console first for ntsc

Thanks anons, you made me check eBay for N64 Everdrive.

Someone was selling their son's N64 collection and had an official Krikkz Everdrive 64 V2 for £40.
Half the price of the Chinese knock offs.
>>
>>3630781
Buying second hand flash carts isn't wise. Oh well
>>
>>3623184
Any good N8 famicom knockoffs? I'd rather not pay $125 if I don't have to.
>>
>>3630571
there's a thread about this, but I'm hearing that these 60Hz mods are imperfect and can cause problems. I'll happily be proven wrong though if you think there is a mod that does it right.
>>
I have a ED 64 Plus and it's great. I have like every non sports game in a 2gb microsd.
