/vr/ - Retro Games

Just emulate, dumbass.

>>4413416
the SD2SNES is supposed to be the best. Close to 100% compatibility.

Otherwise Super EverDrive + carts of games that don't work.

>>4413418
>emulate n64

whats the difference between the everdrive 64 2.5 and the 3.0? And is it worth almost $70 more

>>4413423
>SD2SNES
>close to 100% compatibility

>>4413536
pokemon stadium, animal crossing and you can save without resetting.

>>4413554

theres like 1600 sfc+snes games in total without counting BS Satellaview games and the SD2SNES cant run around 60 games. That makes it to like 96-97% compatibility. And from those 60 games, 20 are worth playing and they arent that expensive to get on their own.

>>4413416
The answer will be different for everyone.
Which one has more games you like?

>>4413423
The Everdrive 64 actually is 100% compatible. The SD2SNES is missing key titles like Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star Saga, Yoshi's Island, and Star Fox

The most worthwhile by far is the Everdrive 64 v3. N64 game prices are retarded to the point where getting 3-4 big-name titles will cost you the same amount as the Everdrive. Add to that the fact that N64 emulation is terrible and that increases the E64's value.

Psssht kid, come here for cheap chink everdrives clones >>4408508

>>4413416
what system do you like best?

>>4413762
Black Friday Everdrives cost about the same as chink Everdrives you know

>>4413767
What about Black Friday Chink Everdrives?

>>4413416
GBA X5 for your GBA, 2x GB X7 for your GBC and DMG.

>>4413928
>2x GB X7 for your GBC and DMG.
buying a cart which doesn't working in a gbp is udm

>>4416308
GBP is for your game boy camera, and is only a temporary thing until you get a GBL.

>>4416308
>>4416370
although once the first run of X7s sells out, the revision should be fine in a gbp from what krikzz has said. it's fine once it starts up, the gbp just powers on really slowly.

but the gbp is like the fourth-best gbx.

>>4413803
>Yellow and black

Absolutely disgusting

>>4416394
What's the deal with the X7 and Pocket anyways? Is it a power issue or the cart will not fit into the slot? I'm planning on getting it tomorrow but I'll be using it on a GBC anyways.

>>4416608
>cart will not fit into the slot?
Can't be the physical size as the site states
"Cartridge may not work with Game Boy pocket"
Sounds to me like it doesn't play well with certain revisions of the Pocket for some reason

>>4413423
>>4413687
SNES Flashcarts will never be worth getting until they get full special chipset support

Is there any reason to get the $80 mega everdrive over the $50 if I don't care about reseting for save states?

>>4416741
asked this same question and was told the X5 is worth it, the x7 is overkill

>>4413735
Is the v3 really worth it? The main difference is just pressing the reset button to save games.

I have a feeling the answer is going to be no, but how bad is the load time difference between the SD2SNES and the Super Everdrive, and would it be worth it to get the SD over the Super primarily for that reason?

The only real benefits I see the SD2SNES bringing me are those load time differences, and maybe messing around with an MSU1 hack or two; I've got most of the special chip games that I care about on the system (including ones that SD doesn't support) and the ones I don't aren't supported anyway.

>>4413418
This. Free games are not worth killing your console over just emulate until you can afford the real deal off ebay.

>>4416943
>killing your console
Hi René

>>4416608
Apparently you can sometimes kickstart it by repeatedly turning it off and on again - after a few goes, it'll get going fast enough for the Everdrive to work. Other people say using certain battery types helps. Other people just have it work perfectly fine.

>Seems like it happens due the specifics of power circuit of gb pocket, it take lot of time to rise from 0 to 5v. On GBP (MGB-001) power rise from 0 to 5v at 35ms, approximately, but on GBC (CGB-001), for example, it takes just around 5ms. I just tested 50 carts and 3 of them not working with my pocket. Seems like in such conditions fpga refuse to load configuration from internal memory. I tried to reboot fpga manually, after than power switched on, and it works.
>Can we get some kind of response on what to expect with the GBP issues? Is there going to be a firmware fix, hardware fix, or what?

>It will be new hardware revision

>>4416907
no, it's not

>>4417016
alright just bought the 2.5. was going to buy the genesis one i can wait on that since i emulate it on my xbox. going to use that money and hope i get the hd retro cables for the genesis.

>>4413559
>you can save without resetting.
So for the 2.5, to save the game you gotta reset the 64? How does that work? Lets say i save in OoT, after i save in-game, i gotta reset?

Will there ever be an Everdrive N9?

>>4417012
Well luckily the X7 carts he sells right now are the fixed version and are finally compatible with GBP

>>4417353
yeah. for games that use a battery save, you save it and then reset the console before turning it off. you also use a real memorypak for games that uses it.

you gotta decide if paying more money is worth the hassle of remembering to get your fat ass up to reset it.

>>4417374
I hadn't noticed. Sweet.

>>4416938
you've wasted more time asking and posting the same question over and over again than you could ever save by buying the sd2snes just for the loading times.
gg

>mfw Master Everdrive DOES have SG1000 support
Weird. But nice

>>4416943
buying the real game isn't worth it either, just emulate

Mega drive x7 now has fm audio support for master system games.

Affordable and supports almost the entire library.

Dammit I want an SD2SNES but I just don't think I can justify the cost, even with a discount

>>4418565
I'm just getting a Super Everdrive knockoff. Not worth the extra $100 to play Mega Man X2 &3 which I can just play on my PS2

>>4418565

No SNES flashcart isworth the cost, except maybe the chinese Everdrive knockoffs. Definitely don't buy from Krizz, his 'support' is fucking shit. The defective rate is probably just as high as the chinese ones.

>>4416938
I bought the SD2SNES for the load times and because I play my SNES so often that I wanted the best I could afford. I have had no issues with it at all and it's really fun playing Mario hacks and some game improvement hacks like Secret of Mana.

>>4416690
>SNES Flashcarts will never be worth getting...
I still don't understand the logic in this opinion. So I suppose your money will be better spent on the actual cartridges then? You can get an SD2SNES for the price of 4-5 of the more rare/expensive cartridges and it'll play just about everything else as well.

People who whine about it not supporting certain special chip games (of which there are about five games actually worth playing) are fucking idiots and probably emulatorfags too poor to even own real consoles anyway.

>>4420428
>So I suppose your money will be better spent on the actual cartridges then?

If you import, yes. And especially if you plan on owning in the range of 20 - 30 games maximum. It would still be more affordable than a Flash cart.

I got an x5 because I'm too cheap for an x7. How badly did I fuck up?

>>4420453
Mega everdrive*

>>4416943

How do they kill consoles?

>>4420453
x5 is fine. was going to get it but i need the rgb cables instead right now.

>>4420268
>improvement hacks like Secret of Mana
what kind of improvements?

>>4420428

It's not rocket science, a flashcart with no prospect of ever having 100% compatibility just won't appeal to some people. Yeah it's not a big deal statistically speaking, but it's an asterisk attached to the product. When SNES emulation has been 1/1 with the real thing for years, that's just not good enough.

Something like the N64 everdrive also has a legitimate appeal thanks to its emulators being unstable relics that barely moved past 2005.

>>4420504
something about the voltage step being slightly off internally which stresses the components more than regular carts. Theres some article about it and the only cart that passed the test was SD2SNES.

Its a real shame too cause everdrives perform well outside of this flaw

>>4420504
They don't. It's just bullshit spread by resellers who want people to pay $200 for EarthBound.

In order I would get them: SD2SNES, MED X7, ED64 v3., N8.

Go cheaper if you want, I don't plan on buying them ever again so I went with the best current version.

>>4413579

I'd say of the ones that don't work worth playing, there's only about 5 and they usually go for around $30-60 each.

>>4420661
>>4420664
There is no chance it will kill a console but if you leave it powered on for 50 years straight it might, might damage the cart.

>>4417346
>and hope i get the hd retro cables for the genesis

Enjoy the wait, I think it was feb or march 2018 before they are expected in.

>>4420504
They don't it's a fucking underage meme.

>>4420428
>People who whine about it not supporting certain special chip games (of which there are about five games actually worth playing) are fucking idiots
See, you answered your own question.

>>4413416
Wii. GC controller. Component cables.

>>4413416
IMO the N8
I've had access to:
-n8
-SD2SNES
-EverDrive-64 v3

The NES is the most entertaining console of the 3.

>>4420893
>playing SNES with a Gamecube controller
wew. I'll stick to using my Wii for Wii/GC/N64

>>4416943
Even René said the design of some of them were just fine. N8, Megadrive x5, Turbo Everdrive v3 were rated good, the sd2snes krikzz manufactures was rated excellent. Only the chink knockoffs, at least some of them, are really bad, there are reports of people ruining the consoles after only few weeks of use. I've not seen anyone demonstrate krikzz Everdrives to have damaged consoles in practice

>>4421006
>René
who is that? serious question

>>4420893
>>4420958
Why not use NES/SNES Classic controllers? They're 100% compatible with the Wii.

>>4421163
They probably fell for the bluetooth lag placebo.
Still, you can get snes -> GC controller adapters.

>>4421148
The guy who runs DB electronics. He reviewed the PCB design of the Everdrives and found the voltage regulation lacking and basically started the whole shitstorm of "Everdrives will fry your consoles hurr durr", even though it was the Chinese knockoffs he really warned against

>>4420735
Do you know at what point damage can occur? Like obviously if I leave it on for several days straight is more damaging than 4 hour sessions but is there a measurable amount of damage on a small scale?

>>4421851
that's the thing though, it's unknown, it could be hundreds of years for all we know
