Saving Private Everdrive

[Anonymous No.9698717]

Bros, I think it’s not gonna come. I ordered Feb 7 and have not gotten any updates since. I am starting to get worried that it’s probably not gonna come. Anyone have a successful order recently ship? Do you know how long approx from purchase date til shipping notification? I might need to sign up and go get it myself.

[Anonymous No.9698729]

You haven't even waited a month. What a waste of a thread.

You just gotta be patient sometimes

I ordered a GBA Everdrive from Krikzz back in September and it shipped out of Ukraine. There weren't any shipping updates between September 15th and October 11th. The final delivery was completed on October 13. I think I ordered it on September 21, so I waited nearly a month to receive it. I understand your feeling, but you need to be patient. Give it time, it's coming from a literal war zone.

I'm looking to pick up his new PCE Everdrive and probably an FX Pack Pro, so I'll be in the same situation as you in a few months.

I’m trying to gauge timeframe bc although I haven’t waited a month, the situation over there is getting worse. Seen videos they are forcing all men to fight so the factory could have been raided and noones working anymore. I filled out a ticket for support but wondered if anyone has recently purchased and had received

>>9698738
September is like two Putin addresses ago, that’s all, as mentioned above im just worried things got worse over there. But I’ll keep patient. Tbh I don’t mean to shill but you might wanna consider investing early in getting those just to secure it. Although I think krikkz escaped to Spain so even if shit goes terrible there the stuff should live on.

[Anonymous No.9698761]

Krikzz is active on Twitter and posts photos from the factory in Ukraine all the time. Calm down.

>Option A) Buy reputable product that meets the technical specifications of the console including proper voltage and will not cause excess ware to the console. Product is made, sold and shipped buy a reputable seller.
>Option B) buy literal garbage that does not meet the technical specifications of the console (including improper voltage), and is so cheap that it often doesn't even have a beveled edge. Made, sold and shipped by a literal who in China - a shithole where public restrooms don't even have divider walls between toilets and the pipes are too narrow to flush toilet paper.

>>9698805
It won't kill it right away, but it will cause wear faster than what is normal. However there is also the possibility that the cart you have is within the acceptable range. The problem with these Chinese clones is that you never know what you're getting, it's always a gamble.

My wife ordered it at the beginning of December and got it mid January. Was planning on it being a Christmas present, but it is a warzone so what can we expect. Be patient. It is worth it.

Brother, I waited 3 months to get a clarinet concerto, it was a small booklet of 16 stapled pages. International shipping is a bitch. You haven't even waited a month.

The 64 cartridges are literally the same as the old 64 everdrive (x7 maybe) that you need to reset the console to save the game. Krikz must be butthurt and is making shit up because the chinks cloned his product when he contracted them to manufacture this shit for him.

my launch day famicom Everdrive N8 turns 10 this year and it still works great. i have used the fucking shit out of it for both gaming and development and it has received tons of improvements over the years. hell i even killed and replaced it's battery a couple years ago. it has given me multiple thousands of hours of joy and is hands down one of the best things i have ever bought.
i think that explains alot.

[Anonymous No.9699169]

>>9699056
I wonder why that button slot gets so dirty, I guess the clearance is just too tight so any crap that gets in makes it stick and in my experience, n64 kids were dirty as hell

I bought a FX Pak Pro and was getting sound but no video after launching a game. I have a near launch SNES and thought perhaps something was wrong with it. I took it to a repair store where they used a second Gen. SNES and it worked just fine. Is it a firmware issue or is something wrong with my SNES? How do I fix this?

[Anonymous No.9699771]

>>9699769
Regular games work on your snes?

[Anonymous No.9699801]

>>9699769
Are you using an OEM power brick? Was the repair shop? Flashcarts use more power than the generic 3rd party power brick usually supply.

[Anonymous No.9699814]

>>9699771
Yes.
>>9699801
We used the same power supply on mine and his.

[Anonymous No.9699983]

>>9699769
If you bought a new FX Pak Pro then congrats, you just paid out the ass for a plastic brick. Go open it up and compare it to pic related, because any carts made after 2019 are only good for the municipal dump.

[Anonymous No.9699995]

anyone have the n64 x5 one? 100 bucks more for the "real time clock" doesn't seem worth it. or the "save without restart" whatever the fuck that is

[Anonymous No.9700042]

>>9699983
Please explain

[Anonymous No.9700110]

>>9699983
Looks exactly like that. Like I said, it worked on the 2nd gen SNES.

[Anonymous No.9700114]

>>9699995
I have the v2.5 from before the rebranding. Hitting reset to save became second nature, but when you forget to do it once you feel the pain of losing your progress.
Switched to an x7 like a few months before Russia hit Ukraine, and I actually am pretty happy with the upgrade. The best feature is being able to have it automatically backup and then load in memory pak saves for each specific game, that's something you can't do with the lower tier.
Of course you can always settle for the old ass ED64 Plus which is the exact same thing as the x5 but cheaper

>Samsung SD card
Well I found your problem
Nothing wrong with Samsung SD cards, I use them for a lot of shit myself, but all of these flash carts and ODEs don't like them because they operate ever so slightly different from regular ass ones. Go try it again using an authentic Sandisk one

[Anonymous No.9700129]

Here is the video I am getting btw.
>>9700121
It worked fine of the second gen, we sat there and played an entire level while on mine we couldn't even get past the first bullet bill in world 1-1. Would that really be the issue?

[Anonymous No.9700169]

>>9700129
It can be, hell some flashcarts make firmware updates specifically to address issues with certain SD card brands. GCLoader recently put one out to fix PNY compatibility for example.

>whatever the fuck that is
It means you don’t have to reset your console after you play a game to make sure it saves
If you don’t reset it on the X5 all your progress will be lost

>>9698717
I don't know how to tell you this, but out of every retro nintendo system (nes, sfc, n64). The n64 flashcarts are the least complicated, and thus chink versions are fine. n64 doesn't have enhancement chips or mappers, it's literally just putting roms into flash memory.

[Anonymous No.9700614]

>>9698717
reminder, if you bought something and never recieve it, chargeback. I feel like even Krikzz would want you to do that.

dear lord you people need to stop peddling this lie

[Anonymous No.9700715]

>>9700710
It has the proper voltage it just does it without using an IC. Anyways wouldn't that just fry the cart and not your console, I'm pretty sure consoles, don't feed power back to the console.

As far as I'm aware, some draw more power than they should which can cause damage to the console

The aliexpress one is the same as shitter ones he sells. If you are gonna give him money you need to buy the high end one that doesn't need to be reset to save. Fuck having to do that shit every time I want to save.

I know bro, I’m just nervous there’s film of Ukrainian armed forces snatching up regular citizens to be drafted like in the streets. So I wouldn’t put it past someone tattling on the everdrive boys unless he’s employing all female.

Hoping nothings going on over there .. for their safety first, and then after that, my precious flash cart

I have an ED64, but I’m upgrading for the no reset and the developer features.

[Anonymous No.9703023]

Op here - they replied with a tracking code. Our card is coming home.

Dudes, what’s nuts is it starts it’s journey through Sumy Ukraine and when I looked up where that starts from and it’s basically right on the border to Russia. So I don’t know whether this means it’s already russia territory or if it might be wise to make purchases someone in the near future to be safe. Your call

I've had problems with my brand new FXPak Pro as well. Had the black screen issue and downloaded the beta firmware from Ikari on the krikzz forums: https://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=12308.0

https://sd2snes.de/files/sd2snes_firmware_v1.11.0b2-RevD.zip

It still doesn't act quite right. Sometimes I get glichy graphics (like in Star Fox 1 and 2), sometimes save states don't work. I hope the next firmware update fixes it.

I have an Everdrive N8 clone (famicom version) from Ali that I can't update via the regular way. I've tried the official files and all I get is a black screen.

There's an update for the bootleg N8 on archive dot org (EDFC Everdrive N 8 China Clone Mapper Update), but all it does it add some mappers and it's still glitchy as hell on certain games.

I have a real N8 Pro for my NES that works great, though. I just wish I could update that bootleg one.
