/vr/ - Retro Games

PCB of original Everdrive GB.

Whew, now if only we could get some GB games that were worth playing.

>savestates
U niggas serious?
>muh authentic hardware experience

>>3917061
fite me

>>3917020
I have the previous one, without RTC, time to trow it to the garbage

I just got the EDGB like last year. God dammit. Same shit happened with the ED64.

>>3917250
Welcome to the world of technology

>>3917250
>>3917232
current EDGBs won't stop working, and unless you're into Pokemans, RTC ain't useful anyway, iirc.

>>3917023
whats the difference btw this and a Supercard DS Two i have on my DSI XL that cost me 25 years afgo?

>>3917327
Who isn't into Pokemans?

I am

Are you certified retarded or something?

>>3917547
Just ignore him. For the past few years there's been one guy who shows up anytime flashcarts are mentioned to scream and complain about how there are cheaper alternatives to everdrives. He's not interested in having a conversation or discussing anything, he just wants to complain about how everdrives are "overpriced". Then he can't wait to tell you about his cheap chinese flashcart from the 90's complete with 8.3 filename limits in the filesystem, that is SO much better than the crap Krikzz is putting out! Then when people get tired of his annoying act, he cries about how Krikzz fanboys are out to get him.

Don't waste time trying to talk with him, he just wants to whine about products he supposedly has no interest in.

Is there a way to enforce a pal mode on an everdrive n8, or is it a console mod deal?

>>3917020
HA! I just got one for my Genesis. So far it's fantastic, but I could only find one on aliexpress, and the vendors I found are gone by the time they ship.

>>3917420
Me, but mostly becuse my 5 year old is so into it right now, I don't even want to look at it whenever I don't have to be.

I picked up a cheap El cheapo BennVenn one. So good for the price and pretty active development

>>3917020
I actually saw that Krikkzz just got a new GBA flashcart.

Strongly considering getting on. I've been meaning to get GBA and maybe an NES and SNES one too.

I'm having an issue with my turbo everdrive.

Its a v2, I'm getting SD IO error when it should be no problem with the SDcard its a transcend premium 400x 8gb micro sdhc

Gonna try reloading the stuff from Krikzz site. Kind of sucks.

>>3918407
If your planning on getting one for the snes i strongly recommend the SD2SNES, it has the most compatibility (granted it doesnt have SA-1 or SuperFX support) but it'll give you most bang for your buck.

Maybe someone can help me out here.

I have a Famicom N8 everdrive I got from Stone Age a few months back. I've been able to play many roms just fine, except for Earthbound Zero/Mother. For some reason that I cannot figure out, I get graphical glitches in Earthbound Zero (i've tried many different roms, including no intro). So I've tried different roms, I've clean both my system, which is a Famicom, and the cart itself. I've tried past OS and re formatted everything. I even opened up the Famicom controller to see if there was any damage or dirt interfering. As the glitches seem to appear as I move around any direction.So I cleaned the inside of the controller. Eventually as I'm playing, the game freezes. And with the JP Mother rom, the game freezes right as I enter a name. Anyone have any idea what could be up with this?

>>3917327
>not just setting the clock to the time you want it to be

>>3918802
haven't you asked this here like a month ago?
have you posted on krikzz's forum about it?

>>3918703
Look on the Krikzz forums. I got one for my genesis the other day and the mini SD card didn't work. There was no problem other than the particular model of mini SD card I used wasn't compatible with it for no obvious reason (decent Class 10 Sandisk), but then I found a list of mini SD's proven to work and I just bought one from that list and now it works like a charm.

Haven't had that problem with my n64 everdrive, but it might be an issue for the tg16 everdrives as well.

How much is the new edgb

>>3918407
Try the supercard for the gba i think it's bretty good but ig remember correctly, it uses miniSD which are hard to find

>>3917674
>only one person on the internet isn't an underage fanboi
Top kek kid

I got an SD2Snes a couple of weeks ago. I'm really happy with it even if it never gets any further development for the unsupported chips.

where do you guys buy these fucking things.

I want to get an everdrive for my turbografx but there's like 20 places claiming to sell them for varying amounts and half of them are out of stock/made to order

>>3920359
http://krikzz.com/store/home/35-turbo-everdrive-v24.html

if you don't mind waiting like 2 weeks for it to arrive this is directly from the guy who makes them, he generally will be the first to restock for obvious reasons.

>>3918802
weird, the prototype ROM works on my Chinese N8

>>3920359
you can get clones on AE for ~$60 now, or just order from krikkz

>>3917327
>Unless you want to play the biggest most popular game on the console you're just fine
You're kind of an idiot.

>>3920474
Mine's been in "origin post is preparing shipment" since the 23rd. shit sucks.

I assume it won't ship from the Ukraine until there's a full pallet/truck/whatever of various packages and then it sits in customs? also USPS is bad at scanning.

>>3920551
got anything useful to say?

>>3920359
>>3920474
Krikzz also has approved dealers that may have them in stock closer to you.

http://krikzz.com/store/content/6-dealers

>>3917420

>>3917040
mole mania

was that so hard? even has super gameboy features.

>>3921330
they tend to be out of stock more times than not, making krikzz one of the better options as he is more consistently instock

http://problemkaputt.de/gmb.htm

I have a hunch that he's not a connoisseur of the pokemans.

I've always been curious: When you buy a SD2SNES, do I have to solder the chips onto it, or will it be ready to play out of the box?

I've wanted to buy a SNES flashcart for a while now, specially because I felt really good about my Mega Everdrive, but choosing between the options for SNES carts is a pain. The regular Super Everdrive fails to run many of the best games on the system.

>>3922491
SD2SNES doesn't require soldering. It's the Super Everdrive that requires the DSP chip to be soldered onto it, but I think you get get them pre-installed now.

Be aware, the SD2SNES fails to run many of the best games, too. Basically, what it gets you over the Super Everdrive+DSP is Megaman X2 and X3 (to be fair, those games are expensive enough to be worth the extra cost if you care about them). Maybe someday if Ikari ever gets around to it, the SD2SNES might gain the ability to play SuperFX games, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

>>3922491
>The regular Super Everdrive fails to run many of the best games on the system.
so does the sd2snes, really.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips#List_of_Super_NES_games_that_use_enhancement_chips

all games with dsp-* can be played with the super-everdrive with a dsp-chip.

+ all games with cx-4 and obc1 can be played with a sd2snes

all other games using sa1, sdd1, superfx,spc7110, st-0* can not be played with any cart.

and no, sd2snes won't get firmware-updates to support more chips.

it got exactly one chip added via firmware (obc1), and that was years ago.
emulating the remaining chips needs a FPGA with more beef, which the sd2snes just doesn't offer.

so, if you can live without the games using cx4 or obc1, get a superED.

PS: Yeah, sd2snes also supports byuu's msu1, but who gives a fuck.

>>3922731
>>3922491

>announce that you're working on game boy flashcart
>everyone requests RTC
>charge $90 for a flashcart without RTC anyway
>literally never drops in price
>years later announce a hardware revision with RTC
>almost guaranteed to be more expensive variant

Ya nah.
Even the PSP and DS can emulate Game Boy with RTC support, and those don't cost $90.

>>3921405
Imagine charging people for an emulator and throwing an autistic fit when people have questions about literally the most popular game on the system.

>>3920560
Weird. I ordered a couple carts on the 10th and they're already on the way out of Ukraine.

>>3922731
>emulating the remaining chips needs a FPGA with more beef

I like how one asshole pulled this out of his ass with no source and idiots will parrot it endlessly like it's truth.

>>3922890
Prove him wrong then.

>>3922731
>all games with dsp-* can be played with the super-everdrive with a dsp-chip.
Is the DSP4 backwards compatible with earlier versions of the chip?

>>3922904
Nevermind, just found out that the DSP1 is the only chip that isn't used in only one game, and one of them is just a port of a Atari ST game.

>>3922762
Emulation is not the same in any way.

>>3917420
Not me, at least not the games before gen 3, since I can't transfer those pokémon over to later games.

>>3922890
https://sd2snes.de/blog/status

And that page is more or less unchanged since its inception in 2012:
http://web.archive.org/web/20120311074338/http://sd2snes.de/blog/status

But you're free to pay the moron-tax with the prospect of an eventually released firmware maybe in the future which could add those chips, perhaps.

>>3922925
You couldn't tell the difference in a black box experiment

>>3922927
Still not seeing anywhere it saying that the FPGA isn't good enough.

>>3922890
>the guy who run the sd2snes site is one asshole
lel

>>3923061
Are you blind, retarded or so underage you haven't learned how to read yet?

Open your mouth. Here comes the airplane with some spoon feeding:

ST-011
requires 54kB of Block RAM; the FPGA only provides 36kB of Block RAM.
ST-018
ARMv3 core with 128kB of embedded program ROM, 32kB data ROM, and 16kB RAM. Out of reach for the FPGA.

>>3922491
You don't need to solder anything, it's ready to play out of the box barring the firmware and BIOS files (and game roms obviously) which need to be copied to a fresh SD card. You can actually download everything you need, including games, in one handy package here:

https://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?101715-MULTI-ROM-SET-EverDrive-Packs-Release-Thread

As for unsupported games, here is a full list:


Carts with BS memory pack slots, other than BS-X BIOS (e.g. Derby Stallion 96, any Tsukuuru). They may run but cannot use memory pack related features.

>>3922731
C4 is only used in MMX2 and 3
You can play perfectly acceptable ports of these two games on every system from Sega Saturn on to PS3. If you MUST have them, the Japanese carts are fairly inexpensive and the story is pointless enough in those games to ignore anyway.

OBC-1 was only used for Metal Combat, which requires a Super Scope, and is about $8.

So, you're paying an extra $120 over the Super Everdrive for support of 3 games which could be bought for $50-$60 RIGHT NOW.

Oh, and the MSU-1.
If you really like adding custom soundtracks to games, I guess it's worth $120?

Gee, sure looks like he mentioned the SuperFX and SA1 chips there. See >>3922731

>>3922925
You're right, emulation has RTC support and portable SGB features.

>>3924098
I didn't reply to any post that specifically mentioned the sfx or sa1. See readingcomprehension

>tfw got a ps4 for my birthday yesterday

Gonna return it and use the dosh to get my Trinitron convergence fixed, and Everdrives for my SNES and Game Boy.

>>3924145
The post I made, which you replied to, was a reply to:

>>3922731
>it got exactly one chip added via firmware (obc1), and that was years ago.
>emulating the remaining chips needs a FPGA with more beef, which the sd2snes just doesn't offer.

>>3924283
Thanks for confirming I didn't reply to anything sfx or sa1 specific.

>>3924418

>>3922731
You forget that SD2SNES has auto-region patching so you can play Jap games off the cart without modding your console.

Add to this a nice frontend and instant game loading makes the SD2SNES a much slicker, enjoyable experience. Is it worth the extra money? To you obviously not but some people are happy to pay a premium for that little bit extra.

>>3926631
I'd rather invest the sd2snes-moron-tax in a proper hardware-mod, which does the same thing and then some.

>>3926631
>>3926679
I thought the only region lock the SNES had was on the shape of the cart. And regardless, can't you just manually patch whatever games you want to play first?

>>3926812
It's even more useful to those who play on (even modded) PAL consoles.

>>3926812
You're correct, the only difference is the plastic cart shape/size. And there's no reason to play PAL games or PAL consoles ever, so I don't know what these guys are talking about.

>>3926847
I hope you're enjoying Terranigma in Japanese.

>>3927278
I'm not into the SuFami/SNES, and I'm definitely not into euro games.

I just got a chinese supercard on GBA for 15$ that can play gba, gbc, gb, nes.

Sure, I can't play on the actual GB/GBC, but I can play it on my comfy backlit modded gba

needing savestates for 20 minute games
lol

I've been planning to get an n64 everdrive from krikkz. It'll be my first time getting a cart that isn't for the ds. How long does he typically take to ship out?

Has anyone ever thought of a way to replicate Space Invaders' SGB Escape thing to load SNES roms from the super game boy?

>>3928593
Secret of mana takes almost 1hr when TASed, imagine doing that yourself.
Your 20 minutes easily become 20 hours

>>3928589
NES is brutal on the GBA, GB/GBC is great though

how's the EverDrive GB? Clones are pretty cheap now so I was thinking about picking one up, anyone have one/want to share some experiences?

>>3928963
The EDGB clones are the only clones I've heard of with serious design issues, namely the battery is touching a component and constantly draining and will only last a week or two until the battery needs to be replaced.

But that was back a while, I don't know if the clone GB flash carts still have that issue or not.

>>3928992
Hmm that's unfortunate, what's the battery for? Does it not save to the SD card?

>>3922762
Just buy the Pokemon game you want separately.

>>3929016
>Does it not save to the SD card?
Yeah, when you switch games. The games themselves have to save to SRAM, only the firmware of the flash cartridge can handle the flash memory. When you load a game, it gets transferred to RAM.

>>3929145
Gotcha, so would you be able to save at all with a dead battery, like as long as the console stayed on? Or would the A+B+Sel+Start reset clear it I wonder...

anyone got an aliexpress link for a chink Everdrive 64?

>>3917020
does SD2SNES do Super Game Boy?

>>3930125
No

>>3921405
Same shit on Citra, we just want all the people asking about Pokémon to die in a fire, they're too retarded to read simples instructions...

>>3922436
This just screams "all Pokémon fans are retarded". And this is not wrong

This is probably going to sound retarded, but can't we just make a dedicated superfx flashcart? Even a multicart would suffice.

>>3930184
People have and do do that. There's a multicart out there with every SuperFX/SFX2 game for the system on it.

Doesn't use an FPGA though, rather a donor cart and actual SFX chip.

Will we ever get SA1 and SuperFX support?

>>3930184
nobody wants to verilog that shit

>>3930187
this is also true but preservationists get ultra buttmad when authentic SFX chips are harvested (and rightfully so)

>>3930194
someone said earlier that we should make a fundraiser or something.
crowdsource the reward and when the bounty gets high enough, krikzz (or, anyone for that matter) can't resist investing their time to adding support

>>3930202
>buttmad when authentic SFX chips are harvested
Stunt Race FX isn't worth preserving.

>>3930203
I actually enjoy that game if I have to be honest.

>>3930206
You don't have to be honest. It's not against the rules to lie on 4chan.

>>3930194
so, why don't we have it already? how can emulators support it, but not sd2snes? do we need to decap the chips? Is it just a matter of someone writing the FPGA core? What's the deal?

Why not crowdfund and pay Kevtris to do it?

>>3930246
>so, why don't we have it already? how can emulators support it, but not sd2snes?
programming it into an emulator on a high-level language is much easier than doing work on a fpga
>do we need to decap the chips?
no
>Is it just a matter of someone writing the FPGA core? What's the deal?
exactly
>Why not crowdfund and pay Kevtris to do it?
it's been brought up a few times and iirc the snescentral fag said it sounds like a good idea
i'd chip some cash in. would you? let's do it niggas

>>3930202
I mean, I agree that it's not great to go tearing apart working games for them, but I'd also be willing to buy on for the right price, if only for Stair Fax 2.

>krikzz
Not that he couldn't probably put something together, but remember that the sd2snes is ikari's work and krikzz only acts as a manufacturer/supplier.

>sd2snes is ikari's work and krikzz only acts as a manufacturer/supplier
Ah, you're right. But even so, whether it's ikari, krikzz, Steve from the bowling allery or Jim next door, doing the verilog shit is anyone's job because sd2snes allows for firmware updates, right?

>>3929142
I did.

>>3930273
Open source, even. I just see a lot of people attribute it to krikzz since he sells them.

>>3930246
>Is it just a matter of someone writing the FPGA core
>just
cute

sd2snes is a Flash Cart for the SNES. It lets you load your ROM backups from an SD card and play them on a real console.
While the cart has extremely good compatibility, there are 35 games that utilise the special SuperFX or the SA1 chips and are therefore unsupported in sd2snes.
However, the sd2snes firmware is open-source and open to contributions. The goal of this fundraiser is to motivate experts on the field to develop full support for the SuperFX and SA-1 chips in the firmware and release the source to the public. The first person/team to release new firmware that fully supports the SuperFX and SA1 chips will get the full monetary reward in its entirety.
The SD2SNES firmware is available at https://github.com/mrehkopf/sd2snes
The list of all 35 SuperFX/SA-1 games is as follows:
SuperFX games:
• Dirt Racer
• Dirt Trax FX
• Doom
• Star Fox 2
• Star Fox / Starwing
• Stunt Race FX / Wild Trax
• Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
• Vortex
• Winter Gold / FX Skiing
SA-1 games:
• Daisenryaku Expert WWII: War in Europe
• Derby Jockey 2
• Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension
• Habu Meijin no Omoshiro Shogi
• Itoi Shigesato no Bass Tsuri No. 1
• Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius
• J.League ’96 Dream Stadium
• Jumpin’ Derby
• Kakinoki Shogi
• Kirby’s Dream Land 3
• Kirby Super Star
• Marvelous: Mouhitotsu no Takarajima
• Masters New: Haruka Naru Augusta 3
• Mini 4WD Shining Scorpion Let’s & Go!!
• Pebble Beach no Hotou: New Tournament Edition
• PGA European Tour
• PGA Tour ’96
• Power Rangers Zeo: Battle Racers
• SD F-1 Grand Prix
• SD Gundam G NEXT
• Shin Shogi Club
• Shogi Saikyou
• Shogi Saikyou 2
• Super Bomberman Panic Bomber World
• Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
• Super Robot Taisen Gaiden: Maso Kishin – The Lord Of Elemental

Every one of them must provably work on the implementation. Once verified, the reward will be given to the person/team behind the release.

sound good?

is there a wiki for the current state of flashcarts?
a list of what doesn't run on each cart would be great.

for instance looking a shopping description that says "this runs 99% of games" without listing said games that it doesn't is silly.

>>3930346
sd2snes will never emulate st-011/st-018 co-processors, what makes you think it could emulate a full-blown proper CPU like the sa-1?

you've been had, accept it.

>>3930351
you can simply google that, you lazy sack. it takes you 2 seconds to find out what's running on each version of the everdrive for example.

>>3930365
>emulate

>>3917020
I personally can't wait till companies stop shoving inferior optical media down our throats. SD and carts are the future. Nintendo has the right idea. Games are clearly already getting to big as well hince PC games are going digital which I hate b/c I want hard copies of my games and they refuse to at least put games on Blu-rays for PC gamers. asshole corporations.

>>3930375
that's exactly what it does for dsp/cx4/obc-games.

>>3930365
ikari said it can happen right?

>>3930529
He's said he thinks Super FX should be doable. SA1 probably not.

>>3930529
I guess if it was possible with the current sd2snes-hardware, it would have been done by now.

>>3930378
Flash/SD is like 2 orders of magnitude more expensive than a Blu-Ray, or 4 Double Density DVDs.

Blu Rays cost about $0.50 each to press.
A Dual Layer DVD costs about $0.20 each.

32GB flash chips cost $3.00 each, and that doesn't include the costs of placing them on a PCB and having them soldered and packaged into a shell, tested, and botched items destroyed.

64GB flash chips cost $8 each.

>>3930685
I wouldn't bet on that.
Accurately copying a chip in shit like Verlog is rather fucking tricky and the only guy who really seems to be doing work on improving the SD2SNES software-wise seems to be ikari himself.
Adding that and the fact that ikari seems to be pretty occupied with his real life judging from the frequency of updated tells me there's a good chance it would not have been done by now.

>>3922764
>I paid a few dollars
>I'm entitled to developer's personal email and phone number

If I were him I'd have everything that contains the string "poke" sent straight to the trash.

>>3926847
>there's no reason to play PAL games or PAL consoles
What is Rareware?
The N64 can play both NTSC and PAL-versions properly regardless of what region your console is, by the way.

>>3929164
Since the Gameboy doesn't have a reset button, no. Turning the console on and off would likely wipe the SRAM.

>>3930125
Jesus fuck, the SGB contained a whole Gameboy in the cartridge. Are you really this dense?

>>3933297
It doesn't, if you have a dead save battery, soft resetting the game (if possible) doesn't actually clear the SRAM, at least in most games I've ever tried it in, even on the Game Boy. Since there's power going to the battery while it's on, and the power is never disconnected, the save data is retained.

But obviously once you power it off it's gone for good.

>>3933357
I meant resetting the console so you can get back into the Everdrive menu and switch games so the save gets backed up to the SD card.

>>3933372
forgot what thread i was in, my bad

>>3933357
Cool, that's what I was thinking. Maybe for $55 I'll take the plunge on a clone.

>>3933291
yeah, I was talking about the SNES. also rare has like 2 good games, and they have NTSC versions

>>3922735
>no SA-1

Can't even play Marvelous: Another Treasure Island. Trash. Emulators rule.

>>3920560
Same guy as >>3922881 here. As of yesterday, my carts have left New York and are on their way to me. Might wanna check your tracking again. Make sure you use the tracking number from the order with the USPS tracker.

>>3933742
I know you were talking about the SNES, just saying how the N64 works. The PAL-versions of Rareware's games are better, like with most games made by a developer based in a PAL-country.

>>3920560
Ordered my stuff on the 10th of this month and it should be here by the end of the week. Maybe your stuff got intercepted by Russians or something.

>>3934350
How are PAL versions of Rare's games better? If they are, why'd the include the NTSC versions in Rare Replay?

>>3937223
checkmate

>>3917020
two questions;

Do SNES flashcarts require batteries of any kind?

I don't like the stock sticker label on the SD2SNES. Is there somewhere I can get something better, e.g. a Super Mario World label?

>>3934208
I'm that first guy, mines in NJ now, I just have to wait to see what retarded trajectory USPS is gonna use to reach where I live in PA as they usually do

I'm in FL and mine showed up today. From ordering to my doorstep took 2 weeks. Very nice.

>>3937223
Seriously though, even if we ignore the fact that Rare included the NTSC versions in Rare Replay, how are the PAL versions better?

I'm sure this is true for some games (timing issues, etc) but we can't assume that all games made in PAL regions are better in PAL and worse in NTSC. Especially for a company like Rare, who was making games aimed squarely at the larger NTSC console markets.

Is there any point in getting a Master System flashcart or do Genesis flashcarts make them obsolete thanks to the Genesis' backwards compatibility?

>>3938218
There are a few things you get out of the box with a MS that you don't with a Genesis and flash cart. One is the card interface. This means no 3d. The other is proper sound. Honestly the difference is huge.
Both can easily be added to a flash cart by anyone with basic soldering skills and the ability to program logic. So like two people on all of 4chan.

>>3931027
>ask for support
>someone thinks you said email and phone number

I can understand your confusion, since "support" and "personal contact information" are only one keystroke apart.
Maybe that's why you couldn't program your own emulator.

>>3937223
I at least know that the PAL-versions of their N64 games have more stable framerates and whatnot, but I'm honestly not so sure about the SNES games.

>>3937916
>Do SNES flashcarts require batteries of any kind?
Like all other flash carts for consoles where the games stored their saves on battery-backed RAM, yes.

>>3938741
So not like those Sega games that used FRAM? Sega does what krikzzdon't

>>3940347
Why use more expensive FRAM when all the SRAM really does is hold the data while the game is being played until the next reset to the flash cart menu?
Once it boots back into the menu it gets backed up to the SD anyways.

>>3940358
Why use a battery that costs more than FRAM? kek. Why are you too new to remember ED save problems?

So what are some good emulators that pic related can run? I'm looking to run GBA games on it.

>>3942398
If you use that in a 3DS just hack it and use VC injects for 100% compatibility
DS is a different thing, i think you need a Slot-2 Flashcart and use the r4 as a passcard.

>>3942398
Just install gba vc games on a hacked 3DS. Runs perfect.

What's a good resource for 3DS modding and flashcarts?

Sure is gettin' retro in here.

The general opinion is that the longer frame times on PAL make the frame rate more bearable on the N64 games. As to why they'd use the NTSC roms for rare replay, the obvious answer is probably the correct one. All XBones are running at 60Hz even in PAL land, so best to use the ROMs optimised for 60 rather than ham fist 25fps into 60hz.

>>3938218
I have a Mega Everdrive X3. Master System games run smoothly on my Mega Drive. The only problem is there's no pause button, which in the Master System's case was on the console itself and the Power Base Converter also had one. You can get a flashcart with a pause button, I think the X7 has it.

>>3943885
My X5 has one

I am going to buy a Pal Super Nintendo, what flashcart should i buy? Everdrive from Krikzz or The CHINA version? Is there any real differences?

>>3945573
>Pal
why
>Is there any real differences?
One's cheaper.

>>3945580
I'm European, it's easier to find on ebay a pal one, at least for me. Should i go the extra mile and trying to get a jap\american Super Famicom\Nintendo?

So no real differences? One it's just cheaper? It means the china vers. will last a lot less time?

>>3945580
BTW, i am searching for the china version on aliexpress and i can't seem to find it, is there some link to it?

>>3945589
>Should i go the extra mile and trying to get a jap\american Super Famicom\Nintendo?
Yes. They're not much more expensive, and they're far better if you have a screen capable of reading an NTSC signal, because all these games were designed for 60hz.

The 50hz crap wasn't quite as bad on the SNES as it was on the Mega Drive, but you should still avoid it.

>>3942429
This. The 3DS is still binary compatible with the GBA. The only reason they removed the cartridge slot from the DSi onwards was for space reasons.

>>3945573
Why would you do that? Japanese SuFamis are literally $10. Also, don't ever pay Krikzz prices for flash carts, china all the way.

>>3947092
A sufami turbo is hardly comparable to a flash card

>>3947159
what is a sufami turbo?

>>3947159
SuFami is short for Super Famicom, i.e. the Japanese SNES. No one was talking about the SuFami Turbo, which is an add-on for the SuFami.

>>3947208
It's a shitty accessory that lets you run special carts that don't have a CIC. No idea why anon even brought it up.

>>3947092
Enjoy your brick after an OS update.

>>3947421
>updating the OS on a clone flashcart in the first place
>implying krikzz hasn't abandoned firmware development for all of his carts

I've got a real krikzz cart and a fake one, having compared the two there's no reason to buy real ones. Build quality is the same, non-existant developer support is the same, clone cost half as much. Also it's not like the chinese didn't invent flash carts, krikzz is building on decades old copier tech.

What the shit are you talking about? He just released v14 of the NES flashcart OS in Oct 2016, and v1.11 of the GBA OS in Sept 2016. I get you have a hateboner for krikzz since you show up anytime flashcarts are mentioned to make the same arguments, but spewing bullshit just makes you look like a troll.

>>3947783
>He just released v14 of the NES flashcart OS in Oct 2016
Has he fixed the fucked up expansion audio yet? Not the guy you're replying to, but AFAIK that's been a problem for years now. It's the main thing putting me off from getting one.

How accurate are flash drives? I'm all about authenticity. Obviously the games are running on original hardware, but

>>3947842
They are VERY inaccurate, nothing that substitutes real carts.

>>3947845
Keep telling yourself that collector friend!

>>3947842
Depends on if it has to emulate expansion chips or not. Even then, hardware emulation in an FPGA is generally better than software emulation.

>>3947842
The N64 is basically 100% since the carts on that console don't use any special chips. Things like the Famicom is harder though, since carts use their own memory mappers which may or may not be supported, and there's also the expansion audio, the Everdrive doesn't even emulate the FDS sound in any good way.

>>3947783
'just released' 7 months ago? He hasn't released anything past V2 for the Turbo EverDrive which is what I feel burned about.And of course he released firmware for his brand new cart, otherwise how else would he sell it? Look I don't have a hateboner for him (I have literally paid him for thins), but I refuse to sit in silence as his paid army of loyalists sing his undue praises to God.
>>3947840
FDS expansion audio is still brutal, and based on his responses in his own forums he doesn't care to fix it.

What's missing? What doesn't work?

>>3948542
It's not that, it's that there's a lot more it could do. It's completely barebones, and the cost doesn't reflect that. Yeah the N8 is $118, but at least it has cheat support and save states. The TED can't even do saves for games that support it, and that sucks, and it's $90. There's a reason the clones are $50 or $60, because that's what they're worth.

>>3949742
The cost reflects the level of autism and and hand holding demanded by the user base. Case in point, you. If you were willing to accept GBX levels of inconvenience you could have been playing everything except SFII and saving in Populous 15 years ago for less than the cost of a chink ED today. But you must have SD and support for special features only two games used and it must cost less than your weekly allowance.
I'm not a krikzz fanboi and consider his stuff overpriced but not a single tear will be shed by this anon for self entitled little shits like you.

>>3949742
Getting firmware updates within the past year is pretty good seeing as how it's one guy handling everything, and he has about 10 different carts to maintain. Still, I get where you are coming from, but I've never actually seen any hardcore fans here. People recommend his stuff, mostly because they would rather have a warranty than chinese stuff, but I haven't seen anyone here trying to argue his shit is the only acceptable option. Sorry, I might have gotten you confused with that one guy who shows up every time flashcarts get mentioned just to rant about krikzz.

Of course, we do have faggots like this guy:

>>3922731
I'm still waiting for a flashcart with SuperFX and SA-1 support.

I'd like to emulate SNES, NES, GBA and maybe some PSP. I already own an o3ds.
What are my options? Get an dstwo flashcard for my 3ds or get an pi3 and controler?
I know about the whole emulators not being accurate and all, but i do care more about decent/playable frame rates. Consider me a filthy casual but idgaf

If you really want to play Pokemon with the RTC, and you have an old Everdrive, just get an actual copy of the game. Jesus fuck, you guys. It's like $30.

>>3950365
Japan.

>>3950383
T-thanks Anon, you REALLY gave me a hand. There are sites where i can buy them from japan?
>>3950383

>>3950471
Yeah.

>>3950376
I have actual copies of the games. The batteries are dead.

>>3950540
Unless you are too retarded to use your hands properly I don't see why you couldn't just solder in new batteries.

>>3950540
Then replace them.

>>3950365
eBay, Japanese sites that ship internationally, etc. Shipping will always cost more than the console, but it's still cheaper than buying either of the inferior PAL/US releases.

Why do some people say flashcard instead of flashcart?
Are they retarded?

>>3950365
There's a secret ebay site for megaweebs where SFCs are $10. The trick is you have to search for SuFami (case sensitive) or you'll get no results. You can actually get banned for searching any other name.

>>3950997
The media used by the Nintendo DS and 3DS are officially called game cards, and the Nintendo DS was the first console where flash carts where common during the console's lifetime.

>>3950020
>I'm not a krikzz fanboi
sure as fuck sounds like it.
>>3950056
Yeah, I don't have any major issues with the guy, but I buy clones most of the time because why the fuck not; they do everything I need them to. I've seen a ton of shills for him on /vr/ though. The guy who flips out everytime clones are mentioned is a new development, but it could very well be >>3950056 in disguise. I barely said anything and it set him off on that tangent.

They might not be underage. Flashcart is a relatively new term that became popular during the current "retro" craze. Even as recently as GBA flashcarts were called flash cards.
