Why are they so expensive? All they do is load a ROM from an SD card. A Chinese one can do the same thing for $0.50. Is this a Ukranian scam (the fact that he refuses to put it on ebay or Amazon doesn't help).

>A Chinese one can do the same thing for $0.50.
Then why not just buy the 50 cent Chinese one instead of making a thread just to bitch?

Because they aren't mass produced.

Because it doesn't exist. But if it did, it would be 50 cents and would do more or less the same thing minus unnecessary features like save states and shit.

Select "Custom game for 8bits FC". That'll get you a Famicom EDN8 for $76. Check the feedback if you don't believe me.

You're welcome.

It does exist you fucking moron. It's about $25 cheaper and has no warranty. Faggot.

Salty Marinafag detected. No, it doesn't exist. It's literally just the Krikzz one being resold and it is not 50 cents.

Summer. Krikzz has been around for awhile.

Real cartridges have special hardware for memory mapping. Playing a game is not as simple as flashing the ROM in memory because the same hardware will not access every game correctly.

Good flash carts like PowerPak have an FPGA to emulate the mappers, and other features like extra graphics RAM for Kirby's Adventure.

Bad flash carts like MiniCard SD just run an emulator on the system hardware. They suck.

It looks like that EverDrive N8 has a Cyclone II FPGA inside it. Those are not cheap.
>>
>>4135473
Correction, the bad one is called SuperCard SD. Such a waste of money.

>>4134731
So you have nothing but a lack of money. Great thread.

>the fact that he refuses to put it on ebay or Amazon doesn't help

I'm pretty sure Ebay or Amazon won't let you sell something that's clearly illegal.
>>
>>4135474
I have one of those. It's true that it emulates GB/GBC games but seems to run GBA games natively.

Maybe your mom dropped you on your head?

it's called making a profit from a hobby

the price isnt that bad. $70 for the entire library is a steal

wish the snes everdrive wasnt so damn slow. My pc engine and genesis everdrives load instantly
>>
>>4136731
I don't know about Ukraine law, but it isn't illegal in the US.
>>
Because they know that emulation babies are gullible as shit.

Honestly, there should be no reason to sell any of these things over $10. Like, who cares about giving "credit" in the emulation scene? Just copy the workings of one that emulates the chips and sell it for cheap.

Shut up, faggotron. I bet you like that nigger, Marina.

If you dumb niggers would take 5 seconds to punch some of the internal parts into Digikey you'd see the costs yourself. One reason the chink versions are cheaper is because they sort some of the parts from pulls (as in, used chips ripped out of old equipment)
>>
>>4136731
Ebay would only care if a bunch of people reported you.
>>
>>4138514
> cheaper to pull the parts

No, theyre cheaper because they make the shit after hours using counterfeit parts and even cheaper than usual labor.
>>
>>4136808
GBA compatibility was shit on that thing as its main use was loading DS software.
>>
>>4134691
if you work for a couple hours, it's easily affordable. you're already stealing the roms (if owned the actual games you wouldn't be complaining about the cost of a flashcart), at least pay for something

>A Chinese one can do the same thing for $0.50.

I seriously suggest some people here legitimately apply for mental defect or disability.

/vr/, what a wonderful place.

Because you don't actually look around.

So which parts are pulls champ?

the original games cost a fortune in the 80s, if you dont like it just play romz. Its not even that exspenive aboot a day of wages
