Thinking About an Everdrive.

[aitsu124]

It seems everyone just says what they want here about the video quality.

The Everdrive is quite cheap for what it is IMO. Other flashcarts are much more expensive and it's not worse than those either. Buy a few repros and you will pay the same amount in no time.

Don't ever expect the Everdrive to handle FDS, that would need a button or something for handling the disk swapping, and perfect sound chip emulation of course. It's for cartridge ROMs first and foremost.

The Everdrive does support two-sided FDS roms, it sets Side B right after Side A loads up. It just doesn't have great FDS support.

Even though it's cheaper than the Powerpak, for instance, it's still fairly expensive. Really, what I'm saying is not that you should get another flash cart instead, I'm saying you should consider getting a flash cart at all. As I've said before, the only reasons you should get one are that you either for some extremely rare cartridge games that can't get, or to play hacks you're making on real hardware. If you're getting one for FDS games, get an FDS RAM Adapter and an FDSStick. It's made for that stuff, and it's worked on every game I've put on it. It's also cheaper.

[P]

Yeah the FDSStick is using the RAM Adapter so it should work 100% like with real disks.

The Everdrive does support two-sided FDS roms, it sets Side B right after Side A loads up.

Yup and that's exactly why it sucks so much (besides missing expansion audio sounds). On a real disk drive or FDSStick you can manually flip the disk whenever you want, instead of when the Everdrive thinks it's time to do it.
