Which flashcart is worth buying the legit version instead of the chink knockoffs?

[Anonymous No.10398323]

everdrive64 x7 and mega everdrive pro?

Are the chink NES carts any good? I've bought official krikzz stuff for all my other flashcarts, but paying almost 200 dollars for some "pro" model with a bunch of shit I don't need seems a bridge too far

They're on sale right now from a few sellers, I got the sd2snes chink clone and it's been good so I imagine these are too, I'd buy one if I had an fc/nes to use it with but I'm giving time to other consoles first. krikrikrirkz didn't really do any meaningful protection on these. Check reviews and you'll get the idea if they're shit or a hit.

EDN8 Pro is radical if you're a hardcore Famicomfag.
>>10398513
Despite the new shell design I think these are still clones of the original EDN8, probably with some new mapper support hacked in. I had one before I bought my Pro and it worked perfectly for me for 3-4 years. They used to be $70+ for the clones but they're into "why not" territory now.

I’ve been looking at these lately, and with no understanding of how difficult it is to support extra functions the price differences between them seems random.

These newer models have newer / more capable FPGAs which allows for more features. TED Pro can play CD-ROM2 games, and the N8 Pro can use save states, for example.

Any insight into why the GBA cart is cheaper than the GBC? Is it just because the GBC seems to have several additional mappers?
It’s childish logic to think, “newer console hard and more expensive,” but I am that child right now.

[Anonymous No.10398860]

>>10398838
I think the GBA is just easier/cheaper to make a flashcart for, so the opposite of what you might assume. Like with DS flash carts, those are like $7 because it's just a modified SD card protocol.

The current GBA everdrive is a X5 type. Krikzz was planning to make an GBA X7 but it didn't work out so he dropped it. A $200+ GBA everdrive would be a hard sell anyway since he has strong competition from EZ Flash.

[Anonymous No.10399206]

>>10398323
All of the knock offs are gonna have some sort of compromise, it’s just how big of a deal breaker that compromise is for you. Watch out for some of the shills on here though that will tell you the N64 clone and EZ Flash Omega DE are better, when one requires you to hold the reset button down to save anything, and the other still deletes your saves if you shut the game off too soon after it finishes saving.
As for specifically which ones are better to spend the money on, Mega Everdrive is a good choice, so is Turbo Everdrive pro. These two give you access to the CD addons without actually having them.

The issue with this is that you've got to either desolder a bunch of chips from the cheapest most fragile of Chinese crap without destroying it to reprogram them or you've got to pay an autist five times the price of parts to do it for you.

As much as I still think it's still better than the everdrive because of compatibility, I can confirm it does this shit, even when it appears to be done saving. Gotta give it extra time just to be safe.
>N64 clone needs reset
Only does it because that's how the everdrives used to work, I think up through the X5
Even for the ones that can save without reset, krikzz is a clown for using fucking button batteries in current year

Exactly. It's a POC. Now that all the mildly difficult work has been done you're free to use the information to do whatever you want however you want. You can just reprogram the chips to have the games you want, reprogram the chips on two carts to have all the games, or go as far down the rabbit hole as you want to get all the games onto a single board. If you're an electronicslet you can wait a few months and buy one on aliexpress.

[Anonymous No.10400918]

I have a gb and gg standard and I want the x7 because they use ram so it won't wear and quicker loading times. In game saving is good because a lot of games use passwords and really your not going to be able to write them down if you out.

There are 2 ways to look at it, you get the higher end cart because you will eventually want to upgrade anyway or you get the cheaper one because you expect a better cart to came out eventually.

I have most of krikkz stuff and terraonions stuff so know how it goes.

>>10398698
I got the sd2snes, I actually thought it would be better but there is probably about 5 special chip games that you'd really want it would actually be cheaper to get the games. I sort of expected there would be a lot fx chip hacks but there is not really and the overclock function of the fx chip was highly exagerated, its only about a %10 difference. Recently there have been some sa1 slowdown reduction hacks which are probably the best thing for it. It can play gb games but the framerate is not in sync with the console just like real hardware.

>>10398731
They are usually clones of older versions, if you want the top version they usually don't do it

>>10398939
I've had chinese gba carts and they are annoying. With the gba x5 you just put the roms on an sd and it just works, no problems, no 10 year old weird menus no weird types of memory.

>>10399639
Maybe I got lucky but I've had no problems with their stuff. The overclock of the mega sd asic did allows some slight but noticeable speed improvements and the av out of the super sd is real nice.
