Another Shameless EverDrive Clone? The ED64PRO

In today’s episode of “Does it suck?” I’m checking out the ED64 Pro. And no, not the ED64 Plus which is all I could find reference to while researching. This one has a flashing LED! This is an N64 flash cartridge that appears to play everything at full speed and supports saving, although only to the micro-SD card if the game uses SRAM. This may all sound great but unfortunately, it’s an EverDrive clone.

It doesn't sucks, what sucks is krikkz charging an arm and a leg for something that can be sold for less. Ill stick to the chinese clones.

[@mediaproductions3557]

Exactly, he would go ages without any in stock either. He’s made his money now so screw him

[@soraaoixxthebluesky]

I’m about to get mine after buying my N64 but my goodness. They asking a price a whole Series S for that thing. Like wtf?

[@MrKrewie]

@@soraaoixxthebluesky omg really, fudge that chinese it is

[@TheNintendochannel64]

I've had this flashcart for well over 2 years and it has never given me any issues with saves or such

[@mrcrunch8000]

Same, I've had no issues at all with mine. The only time I noticed a problem was with the sd card it came with. Once I copied everything to a quality sd card it has been flawless.

[@chrisearl2217]

If your gonna review something then review it.

[@lilsal16]

if the original wasnt so damn expensive id buy it. heck the new switch flash cart is somewhere between 60 or $70. compared to $150 for the everdrive x7 which youll need to buy an sd card then format and install firmware. 60 buck comes with all games its not perfect but works great good enough for some rom hacks and cheap . edit everdrive is $159.00

[@blastproces]

ed64 and super 64 are very good actually and reliable. Don’t mess with the OS and it will be a good alternative

[@pd3ct]

to change the wallpaper: if you go to the wallpaper folder and hold down the bottom c button for 4 seconds it lets you change that picture to the backround.

[@Anthonyelmio2]

For Gba, Ez Flash Omega Definitive edition is great and cheap and it has images for games

[@mediaproductions3557]

All I get are the Chinese flash cards. Was always hard to get everdrives etc in Australia. If you just want to play games they are fine, it’s more advanced features on some of the everdrives that make them worth the money. Also for years they would hardly produce these in large numbers and you had to sign up for wait lists or join their patreon and contribute to get one earlier. For 90% of people this wasn’t an option.

[@stevenm1832]

Emulate? Why wouldn’t it run on original hardware? What’s the difference between pro and plus? That should be the main question as this is the first time seeing the pro Thanks for the video

[@LokiStil]

Hello, my SD card got corrupted and I'm looking for the original firmware files for the Super 64 PRO, could you help me?

[@erik9817]

How does this work for homebrew dev?

[@OperantSound]

Does it come with the roms loaded on the sd card?

[@drian198490]

I deleted the software from the SD, and now I can't find it anywhere, can someone help me, thank you

[@Ridley1911]

search for ED64p

[@blastproces]

Did you find it ?

[@blastproces]

I have the super 64 os files they should work with ED64 same as far as know

hope that helps

[@Pvt.Joker64]

shameless he said XD

[@choiwaynekiet]

just get the summer cart 64

[@JaeliusFairmout]

"n64 is notoriously difficult to emulate" its kinda amazing how soon that will be a thing of the past. the n64 MiSTer core is already in a shockingly advanced stage of development, already playing some games indistinguishablly from original hardware (or even better tbh, as it does hdmi and rgb/ypbpr already)

[@retrogameon]

The PS1 core seems to be coming along nicely too. I'll probably buy a Mister once that generation is up to speed.

[@JaeliusFairmout]

the fpga gaming solutions do have me wondering if Krikz will pivot his business to making something else in the future

[@near5148]

​@@retrogameonhello

[@JaeliusFairmout]

@retrogameon its complete! and better than the original hardware in many respects

[@retrogameon]

@@JaeliusFairmout No way!

[@ypasco]

I have the ED64+ and never had any troubles with it. Even pokemon stadium 2 runs with it, it's not the case of the "real" everdrive..... so why talking of clones? and saying it sucks ? They may have reverse engineered the real one but it's better....for less $ (for N64, not talking about some emulators GB, etc... that may be included in the real one.)

[@Straatbrak]

Can you take the memory card out, attach to pc and modify the save for stadium 2. Looking to your answer i will then buy the same.

[@otterdonnelly9959]

Because something being stolen to be cheaper is lame when the creator is still producing the product. Krikkz supports the community. These other companies just steal his stuff and run off peddling it to people who don’t appreciate his work. Do you know the power consumption of these carts? Can they fry certain modded or OEM systems?

[@bertlow3427]

Where can i buy

[@dandaye3258]

Why can’t people just add all the rom hacks to it. I don’t want to break the sd card

[@bertlow3427]

Where do you find theses?😊

[@somehow_not_helpfulATcrap]

Kritzz team implemented a security feature in their Everdrive software. If you try to use their software on these clones it can brick the clone permanently unless you are capable of rewriting the flash memory on the cart itself. Thats why these clones will never really change.

[@sagebondcast8115]

Thumbs downs Kritzz

[@VeritasKonig]

How comical this guy makes a video and make money from the views, yet moan and groan about Chinese copies! Get real, dude!!

[@mgproductions2007]

So it works fine and offers basically the same features for a fraction of the price? Sounds good to me, I will probably pick one up. You're pirating hundreds of Nintendo games through it and going to talk about the morality of someones designs being re-used. Don't pretend you just use these to only play your backups.

[@VeritasKonig]

This guy is such a hypocrite

[@ClareHehe]

i don't understand it. nobody seems to have an issue with all the other chinese copies of flashcarts for the other consoles.

[@agus.lorenzo]

This youtuber is THE WORST. Such hypocrisy omg

[@sirducksworthythe3rd842]

No it doesn't suck you do fir thinking it dies cause it's not official

[@Shiniandkutie]

everdrive is so completely overpriced and not worth it.

[@RAPTOR948]

Thanks for the heads up for the review. I'll steer clear of this clone.

[@TheNintendochannel64]

You shouldn't. It is a decent N64 flashcart for the price

[@RAPTOR948]

@@TheNintendochannel64 Yeah but I'm looking for a N64 flash cart that is going to last me. A cart where I can put my entire N64 library onto the cart and not have to worry about pulling it out again. So many games I have I wish I could have gotten the revision copies of, but can't because of the fact some of the companies like THQ are out of business and likely no longer have the ROM files for the revisions anymore.

[@near5148]

A clone eh

[@retrogameon]

indeed
