Does anybody have any experiences with Everdrives? Are they worth the money and reliable when compared to just buying a USB controller and emulating on the PC? I want the nostalgic feeling as well as being able to play the games.

I'm looking to get back into a few games from my youth and ones that I missed out on due to being a kid with no money.

Are there any reliable sites to purchase them? I've heard of a couple but don't want to "shill", I don't know what's allowed on this board.

We buy Chinese clones from AliExpress, irregardless of what the shills will say.

If you already have the retro consoles themselves and a CRT or quality upscaler then spending $40 on a chinky Everdrive MD is a good investment. See how it treats you.

It really depends on your budget though. No one would blame you for emulating first, even if just to fully sample libraries and decide which platform to buy your first flash cart for.

Lots of /vr/ primarily emulates some even exclusively although most of those are contemptible for semi-related reasons.

>Are they worth the money

Given how overpriced they are, no. But I'm sure some Everdrive shill will show up and "correct" me about how expensive it is to manufacture all the necessary parts.

The only Flash carts really worth investing in are for portables. DS carts go as low as $10 in some cases, including the ones with very high compatibility. GBA carts are another story. You can get an EZ Flash IV for $40 shipped, but I guess that isn't nearly as overpriced as what Everdrive is asking.

>I've heard of a couple but don't want to "shill"

Yet that's exactly what this thread is.

For future reference: Shilling only makes people not want to buy your products in the first place. It's called psychological reactance.

Now fuck off.

>overpriced
I say this every thread, but provide a parts list with prices for each component if you're going to call them overpriced. No doubt that they are expensive, but this stuff is already niche enough that the higher price is to be expected. Just because some Chinese guy can assemble them from defective parts literally thrown away by some factory doesn't mean shit.

What is the cheapest flashcart or similar device available for any of the following consoles: SNES, Sega Genesis/MD, NES?

I want to hear all about the unlicensed Chinese shit. I don't care if it only plays 99% of games instead of 99.9% of games if it costs $200 less than the "best" alternative.

For SNES I am already aware of the Super UFO Pro 8, which is cheap and can't play any SuperFX games (although supposedly you can if you put another game with a SuperFX chip on top--I have a game like this already so I'd be willing to try that), SNES Everdrive, which is slightly more expensive but also has a cheaper Chinese clone, and SD2SNES which is favored by purists but costs a fortune. Is the UFO the cheapest thing around?

I'm not the guy who wrote the particularly inflammatory post you are responding to, but the fact that the guy can justify his price doesn't mean it's a good buy. I'll be wary of using the term "overpriced" because that can imply that the price is not reflective of the value, which isn't what I'm saying, but it's still possible for something to cost more money than a reasonable person would want to pay for it. For example, it would be very expensive to manufacture a solid gold toilet seat, and it would surely come with a very high price, but would most people want to buy it, even if it were priced "fairly"? No, of course not. I don't need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a toilet seat. I'd rather have a cheaper one that isn't made of gold, or simply do without.

The fact of the matter is that if they can't get the prices of these things down, many people will continue to object to buying them. That may be impossible due to logistical reasons, and that's fine, but then they will never be adopted by all the people who are potentially interested in them (which still isn't very many people).

Second the handheld flashcart thing.

Absolutely the best way. GBA and DS games are pricey, and since they're meant to be fucking portable, lugging around your handheld, with a dozen games kind of defeats the purpose.

I completely understand flashcarts are made by a handful of people or a few small businesses so they are inherently more expensive. I haven't gotten one, but when I want a fairly expensive game like, I dunno, a Wild Guns or something and I'm about to pull the trigger, I may just buy the Flash Cart instead.

Ok, so after looking for Everdrive clones on AliExpress, it seems the answer to my question is that the cheapest flashcart you can get for any of those systems is a Chinese Mega Everdrive for $43. Even the Chinese NES Everdrive is like $80. I don't see why those are so much more expensive, but there you go.

A reasonable price will vary a lot from person to person. You get people now and again who'll spend shitloads of money they don't even have on stuff like Earthbound, PDS or whatever happens to be popular that month, to emulator addicts to whom any amount of money for a game is too much. They all try to justify it one way or another.

They're perfectly fine. Just because something is based on Chinese manufacturing doesn't mean it's automatically shit. DS Flash cards are all designed and manufactured by Chinese companies. None of the cards I've owned have failed so far, and they have over 99% compatibility. There's zero reason to overpay for a Flash cart.

This man has the right idea. There are more places to get them than just AliExpress, though. Most any of the Chinese distributors do deliver on their promises, although shipping can take weeks at a time.

Yes, this is exactly my point. Right now a few interested people are willing to buy flashcarts at high prices, and a few other people are also interested but not willing to pay the price.

But you can't just say that people who think flashcarts are "too expensive" are objectively wrong. Like you said, we just have to acknowledge that people are not going to have exactly the same idea of how much they are willing to spend.

To anyone who is genuinely curious about Everdrives or whatever, don't pay any attention to that ONE guy who keeps shilling the clones on AliExpress. He has this vendetta because Krikzz (Everdrive creator) banned him on his forums a few years back for stirring up other shit for no reason.

As a result, almost every time someone mentions flash carts on this board he shows up and relentlessly rips into anyone and everyone who even mentions Everdrives. If you just look at his posts in this thread you'll see exactly what I mean.

What's wrong with buying the clones? Other than not supporting the guy who spent thousands of hours developing the hardware of course. (But if I'm buying what is essentially a piracy-enabling device, do you really expect me to respect content creators or spend any more than the minimum possible amount of money?)

I mean is there something actually bad about them?

I've heard the NES one has some game compatibility issues and they don't support updates in the off chance anything meaningful is every added to them. They're also rather cheaply made but I've never heard of one crapping out so that's probably not an issue.

According to the Chinese guy that posts here they are absolutely infallible and never have any problems. In reality though problems are known to happen now and again. Try the reviews for the Super UFO 8 on Amazon for example. Shit happens. The majority will work fine, but if you do end up buying from China you're pretty much fucked if something does go wrong.

The same stuff happens with the genuine Everdrives but the Everdrive guy is notoriously good with fixing that stuff. Usually always if someone has a problem with one of the products he's sold, he'll take it back for free repair no questions asked.

When buying from China you do save a bit, but there is also the chance it ends up being a paperweight.

Ok, so it's mostly a difference in the customer service you can expect, basically. If you do buy, say, a Super UFO 8 from Amazon though, doesn't amazon guarantee that you can return it? I suppose if it craps out after 6 months or something you'd be screwed, but if it's DOA I'm under the impression that you're supposed to be able to get your money back.

Chinese clones on aliexpress of course are another matter.

Whenever someone mentions flash carts literally one guy appears and posts the same pattern of ramblings telling everyone to buy from China and that anyone who likes Everdrives is wrong and a shill. The exact same thing happens whenever someone mentions RetroArch in an emulator thread. For all we know they could be the same guy.

As for general shilliness, it's been known to happen. I'm told the buy/sell/trade threads stopped happening because resellers came in and started taking advantage. There have been an unusual amount of repro threads appearing more and more recently as well. Considering they're piss easy to make it's not beyond reason that there would be people trying to take advantage. Can't really prove anything on an anonymous Chinese image board though.

The general rule is to do your own research on any product recommended to you here and make up your own mind.

The difference is more than a few seconds but not more than a minute for any game afaik. Still, once the rom is loaded you can start it instantly, until you load a different rom. Rom load speed definitely isn't worth any extra money unless you're a speedrunner or something.

I have a SNES everdrive, and it's hands down one of my best 'retro' items.

This will vary from person to person, but for me the everdrive really helps me enjoy the game as originally intended --- since it's hooked up to an old TV, and doesn't support anything like save states.

Some people may either welcome the save states, or simply have no problem abstaining, but for me it's a totally different experience knowing that the only way to make through a hard section is to get better at the game.

Got a Super ED. Ordered it about 2-3 weeks ago, surprised it got here this quickly(from Kritzz or however you spell it).

Been running through and checking all SNES games on an emulator, seeing which were worth putting on it and which I was better off deleting. Up to about 175 games on the ED, not counting romhacks.

Can't wait to test it, except I don't have my SNES power brick, since my cousin borrowed it since he lost his.

Why is it crap? I have never owned a flashcart before and I'm not sure if I would even use one if I had it, so understandably I'm factoring price into my decision of whether or not to buy one of any kind. The UFO is the cheapest, so I'd consider buying it unless I heard there was something seriously wrong with it that would damage my enjoyment.

Sounds like it's been confirmed that it works only if the game on top is identical to the ROM being loaded. So, it's useless as a feature and absolutely predatory and misleading to advertise, but there is in fact a grain of truth to it.

Most of the revisions are only labeled differently. There's one that runs at 10.5Mhz or so, and another that runs at double that. Unfortunately that's probably not anything to do with why it won't run on the UFO. I'm pretty sure people have successfully overclocked the SuperFX itself or replaced the slower version with the fast version without any problems.

I have an SD2SNES and what I am pretty sure is a Mega Everdrive clone.

I have a fair (but not unlimited) disposable income and have no NTSC collection for either console, so my decision was fairly easy. They aren't cheap though and even with the SD2SNES there are compatibility issues (no SuperFX and no SA-1 support, meaning no Kirby Superstar or Dreamland 3).

They're easy to use and pretty painless to set up - you're paying a higher price for convenience basically. So long as you understand that and factor it unto your value calculation, you shouldn't be disappointed by a flash cart.

MSU-1 support and the ability to play romhacks on original hardware are cute but I wouldn't say they're game changers. SD2SNES does some clever things that speedrunners like (like savestates for practicing) or so I'm told, if that's your thing.

Are the Nintendo system Everdrives accurate? I'm considering getting a Super Everdrive but I know that games for those systems always had different technical stuff going on (like the hirom/lorom stuff for the SNES, the expansion chips, etc.) and I know that the Everdrive seems to emulate some of those chips apparently but does it actually do a good job of that? That's my main concern with it, I guess, the accuracy of it all. I've heard that the Famicom expansion audio apparently isn't accurate on the Everdrive N8 but I've never heard it in person nor have I heard any actual Famicom music in person that uses expansion audio, so I have no idea how to tell. I was interested in getting one to play Mr. Gimmick but the audio is obviously a huge deal with that game and if it doesn't sound right I'm worried it'll be a waste of money.

I think the audio expansion is more of an NES problem than the Everdrive N*''s problem. The everdrive is just used to load software or rom image files and doesn't alter the system itself, so if you want to play something with expanded audio I'm afraid you're gonna have to mod your NES.

I'm so sorry that you're upset, fellow Anon. You should play your favorite relaxing game.

Did you know that relaxing games have been scientifically proven to be 40% more relaxing when played through full immersion using a product like Google Cardboard? Don't use the cheap ones they cause eye strain you need a fully adjustable product like the VR Box©

Why is everyone on /vr/ so fucking insane?

No one is forcing you to do -anything- for all I dont care you can emulate everything using a computer from 1998 with ZSNES and Nesticle.

I think using a Raspberry Pi is the dumbest shit ever. Its a cool device, and using it to play video games is stupid.

Retron5 has its place. Its kind of neat as a supplementary device and obviously a decent way to play Gameboy and Gameboy advance games without a Super Gameboy, or Gamecube Gameboy player at home. But for most people, they're going to have the original hardware or are just emulating anyways so its kind of pointless.

Flashcarts for 200 bucks may be "expensive" but they have really good compatibility and are the only way for someone whos not really rich to play games like little samson, and mr. gimmick on original hardware without resorting to buying repros. They also allow for homebrew, and unreleased roms with english translation patches, again, without resorting to repros. They are actually really good and worth it, despite the price tag.

>hating resellers
I buy most of my games from resellers. I'm not going to lie. But I always shop around and find the best deal, and there are a few around here that can get me some good deals, and even some on eBay offer good deals and customer service.

Basically, you're just a faggot who needs to stop shitposting.

So, there's nothing wrong with the few individuals who keep flooding the board with their products or software - everybody else on /vr/ is "insane" simply because they're tired of wading through it, and call out shills for what they are? Nobody likes advertising. /vr/ is no exception.

In case you didn't notice, other boards are plagued with the same issues. /g/ and /v/ are practically just spam boards at this point. /vr/ actually doesn't even get the same amount of spam traffic as the former boards do.

So you want to dish out $80 for a mono GB Flash cart when you could buy a backlit SP for less? That's idiotic. Hell, you can even buy a DS + a DS Flash cart for less than that.

Don't be a tool. Everdrives are way overpriced and are in no way cost efficient, especially considering their compatibility issues. Second-hand GB games are dirt cheap right now anyway.

Did you even attempt to search eBay before posting? I'm seeing SP 101s in the range of $60, some bundled with games:

Then there's always craiglist, flea markets and yard sales, which will be substantially cheaper.

The only way I can see an SP being a costly investment is if you're importing it because there are presumably none distributed in your country. Even then, I can't imagine international shipping for an SP being that outrageous.

And the original DS models should be even cheaper than an SP 101 right now.

Being this paranoid should require being commited to a mental institution. While there's no doubt advertising or shilling occurs, thinking that you've found shilling in every single post that mentions whatever it is that triggers you is a sign of a mental illness. You're doing nothing but lower the quality of the board when you "cry shill" constantly at every percieved threat, and also cheapening the word "shill" by overusing like this. We're at the point where "shill" basically means "people who recommend things I don't like".

It's funny because Retron is pretty much the only thing I'm firmly convinced was ever being shilled here and then I think the Retron shilling became it's own self sustaining meme for a while that devolved into irony and the "my wife and I" meme.

Seems some people overlooked the subtlety of that phenomenon and hold pure anger in their hearts which they release at any popular product they don't like.

BTW it's entirely possible that the people who shout "shill" the loudest are resellers trying to keep the increasing legitimacy of rom playing out of the popular culture to protect their investments.

I should really think of a funny catchy thing to say to succinctly convey this theory in these circumstances.

Got my Super Everdrive v2.1 a while back, and loaded a card with about 175 games or so. I'm still going through all the ROMs to find any others that are worth playing, as well as testing SMW romhacks to see which actually work on real hardware.

Once I finally finish, would anyone here be interested in an archive or torrent or something of the remaining ROMs and romhacks? An SNES everdrive starter kit if you will.

Even when I DO decide to add a real game to my library (whether I'm buying outright or trading from my lifetime accumulation of finds from the wild) I would be foolish not to preview it for myself through reproduction or yes even (gasp!) emulation, which to reiterate is making leaps and bounds in the accuracy department.

If you really are a reseller and not just a troll pretending to have suspiciously great interest in protecting the value of retro games then know that I don't hate you back. You've driven the value of my collection so high that it's tempting to liquidate it but as foolish as I'm probably being I love my collection and will probably take this Nantucket sleighride all the way to the bottom.

I'm not usually one to call "shill" or "reseller" but this guy definitely has a off feel to him. I figure someone who is into retro has likely plunked down a pretty penny on some original carts themselves.

Also I initially got into retro carts so I can play retro sports games that have had their rosters altered/upgraded and games that were never released in the US. My first ED was the SNES everdrive and I bought it for The Firemen (Europe/JP release only), Tecmo Superbowl with new rosters and NBA Jam Old School Edition (Shaq&Jordan werent in the original game due to licensing issues).

If it weren't for everdrives you either would be forced to play these games on emulators on your PC or would have to wait until somebody dumps the rom onto a blank cart and pay them 60 bucks for a game that they didn't develop- ie profiting off of someone elses hard work.

What if I buy carts that span many of the popular memory mappers, modify them with removable DIP slots, and use my EEPROM programmer to write headerless ROMs to generic EEPROMSs?
What part of the "system" would I be emulating then?

Answer the same question regarding the use of reproduction carts as well, please.

There is definitely software emulating hardware inside flash carts, to be excrutiatingly technical and some games do suffer some minor issues as a result. You may want to use the essentially synonymous word "simulating" if that other word triggers you

Really though you should just stop posting.

Let me just say that I don't own any flashcarts no do I have feelings about emulation.

However, it seems like quite a few people have a strong negative feeling about "emulation," which typically refers to console emulation (and video game piracy) on a personal computer or portable device. There is an argument that this type of emulation results in a flawed rendition of any given game, and that it is for that reason inferior to the original experience.
Flashcarts on the other hand do not suffer from the same commonly identified problems with typical "emulation." There are games that cannot be reproduced on a flashcart, and others which can only be reproduced imperfectly. There are many games that have no such problems and thus render a "perfect" experience that is indiscernible from the original gameplay experience. Nevertheless, many people assert that flashcarts are inferior and amount to "emulation."

You argue that flashcarts often contain firmware that "emulates" the functions of chips present in hardware cartridges. I accept this as true. However, this doesn't seem to make flashcarts equivalent to console emulation on a PC. Since many games can be "perfectly" reproduced, the argument that flashcarts do not provide an "authentic" experience in any case is incorrect.

Since many people continue to object to the use of flashcarts even though arguments against emulation are not legitimate arguments against the use of flashcarts in all cases, I assert that the objectors have different motivations. One such motivation, I will argue, is related to cost. Collectors are proud of their collections which may have cost a lot of money to obtain. A user of a flashcart can experience many of the same games collectors can, but without the barrier of the high cost of collecting. In essence, flashcarts have allowed new members to join the club without paying their dues, which feels unfair to some people.

Do you think that could have anything to do with this shitshow?

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 23 21:12:48 2015 No.2698560 >>2698549 The thing is that even PC emulation can in many cases deliver an identical experience to original hardware. Some people can't be satisfied and that's just the sad facts.

>make Everdrives.
Sure. You just order a raw SNES cartridge PCB from China, solder on a battery, CIC, DSP-1, CX4, SA-1, and SuperFX chips, then wire all them into a programmable chip and program your own code for loading a basic OS for file loading and loading the ROMs to whatever you have acting as the ROM chips, and you are good to go!

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 24 17:48:40 2015 No.2699935 >>2670083 None of the flash carts support SuperFX at this point, although the SD2SNES might be able to some day. Super UFO 8 is a piece of shit, if you're looking for a low cost SNES flash cart get a Chinese Super Everdrive.

Expansion audio with the N8 is hit or miss depending on the sound chip the FPGA is trying to emulate. Both the Disk System and the VRC7 did FM synthesis, which is basically impossible to accurately emulate, which is why Genesis emulation always sounds like garbage.

But honestly, Castlevania III sounds fine on the N8, not perfect, but still better than the US release.

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 24 19:27:47 2015 No.2700140 So are flash carts the same thing as playing a real cart, other than compatibility issues?

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 24 19:30:48 2015 No.2700146 >>2700140 For some games it is "the same thing," for some games there are bugs, and a handful of games don't work at all because they rely on special processing chips that are not present in any flashcarts.

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 24 20:07:57 2015 No.2700195 >>2699616 Not Everdrives but there are plenty for other types of flash carts. Unfortunately if you have to ask it's probably beyond your ability to do.

I guess shit you've never hear of because it's not Nintendo. And SNES emulation is no where near "perfect" unless you have a super computer so there's that.
Feel free point me in the direction of a "perfect" TI emulator when you discover what those systems were.

I know what you're talking about. I'm pretty sure I do, but I guess those systems are not in demand for emulator optimization and development. The systems really worth mentioning are the popular computers such as the Apple II, Amiga, Atari, and systems such as the Genesis, Master System, NES, PC Engine, etc.

Apple emulation is spotty and Amiga is less than perfect. It's good enough for most things but I take issue with this constant drone of emubabies claiming emulation is perfect or near perfect. It's just wrong information that gets repeated. Try something like "emulation is good enough to enjoy most games you'll want to play on popular systems" if you don't want to be wrong.
