FXPAK PRO | The NEW SD2SNES Pro Super Nintendo multi-cart by EVERDRIVE!

[@czimmerman86]

I have an Everdrive for my Genesis (because best console ever) and my Nintendo 64 (because emulation still doesn't feel 100% for that console yet). Best purchase I've ever made. It really gives that jukebox feeling we always wanted as kids with the original hardware. The next one to pick up is the SNES one for me.

[@spiralings]

Ima go out and buy this right now! love emulation and I had no idea that it was so easy to play on OG hardware. I have a nice CRT SNES and NES all ready to rock

[@BJWanlund]

Regarding why you’d want higher size microSD cards, there are very large files like CD-quality music files that the FXPak Pro has support for.

[@reesercliff]

those pokemon figures are terrifying...

[@Restalgia]

You should check out my dedicated video on them 🤣😂

[@jasonsmart8063]

They are terrifying but for some reason I wanna buy them 😂😂😂

[@jasonsmart8063]

Where would I go to buy them?

[@DivisibleByWaffle]

Mine just shipped and I can't wait for it to get here! I'm here watching to build up hype lol

[@kylerobinson6102]

Is it worth buying?

[@DivisibleByWaffle]

@@kylerobinson6102 I've really been enjoying mine. Only game I've had trouble getting to boot is Ballz 3D (which I was only streaming as a joke anyway!) but everything else has worked like a charm. I decided to buy one because I'm bowing out of collecting retro games as a hobby due to the expense and space commitment involved, and this is a great way to cap off my SNES collection. I would say that if you have the money and you think you'll play on it a lot, it's worth every penny. You could easily drop this much on a single copy of some particularly rare titles.

[@snx70]

It also supports MSU-1 enhanced games which is pretty cool.

[@JuanDiaz-jo1rw]

I put an order about 3 weeks ago. Still waiting for it to come in the mail.. I dont think this is expensive tho when you compare it to the amount of money you would spend building the SNES library.. thank you for the information and the links..

[@pcm2fchris]

Thinking of ordering one myself. I assume yours is here. If so, how do you like it? Do you notice any input delay, compared to original carts?

[@JuanDiaz-jo1rw]

@@pcm2fchris it works the same way as an original cartridge. Plus you can add cheat codes and also play hacked or patched games.

[@ChristopherAndersonPirate]

@@pcm2fchrisif you’re playing on a CRT with a console and this there should be no input lag at all, from my understanding. I have a Trinitron I just ordered one of these for. We will see how long it takes to arrive lol but $50 cheaper on his website rather than stoneagegamer and I had to purchase one since they’re in stock again

[@dannyman5751]

Thanks I was really hoping you would review this!

[@Restalgia]

I have another one coming soon too. Something 64 times better 😉

[@dannyman5751]

:O

[@matthewmcgann2931]

The SD2SNES Pro and the FXPak Pro are identical. He had to change the name. There was an original SD2SNES, which you may be attempting to reference.

[@Enchurito]

It's not made by "Everdrive". Everdrive is a product by Krikzz

[@Uniquedesignsincrome]

When the Analogue Super NTs go back on sale I'll be looking to get one of these along side it in the future. In the meantime I'm looking forward to the Terraonion MODE for the Sega Saturn (and Dreamcast)

[@Ozzie314]

@Karl Burnett True but you have to load a custom FW (right?) and will probably void warranty if you do. But either way, good call on that.

[@manichispanic999]

Karl Burnett it doesn’t play special chips or MSU so it’s not the same at all. Only 80% the same lol

[@manichispanic999]

James Osburn yup, can’t get it fixed if it messes up

[@prufrockrenegade]

Or just get a basic MiSTer setup for about $200, and a raphnet dual snes controller adapter for $30. With that setup you can run >99% of the SNES library with 100% accuracy and virtually zero lag, as well as the full libraries of all the other major 8 and 16 bit systems

[@manichispanic999]

prufrockrenegade please stop. You aren’t helping the conversation.

[@AttractionSpot]

I'm actually trying to get one now but all the websites are sold out. ☹️

[@Restalgia]

Yeah unfortunately they are sold out everywhere. Krizz is located in Ukraine and he has had to flee his main office due to the ongoing war. He did get re-established but I would assume it will be a while before we see regular stock. You may need to purchase one second hand.

[@skins4thewin]

The custom firmware that adds Super Gameboy and Save State support is great!

[@RenEffect]

First thing I'm going to do as soon as it's in! Just got my Super NT, let's goooooooo!

[@Larry]

Have you tried playing the ROM of the SF-1 modded Gradius 3 on it?

[@Restalgia]

Not yet, but ill give that a shot and let you know how it performs

[@Larry]

@@Restalgia Sweet!

[@heilong79]

No slowdown in Gradius 3 sounds like a miracle.

[@Utgardaloki76]

I have and it is flawless. My skills how ever aren't. Even the arcade version has slowdown and like the snes version is tough as nails. With no slowdown in the snes SA-1 version the game feels as if its running in fast forward mode. Death rate and game over screen included.

[@cybernitemusic]

I have. It’s awesome!

[@shattered-reflection8045]

I have the regular SD2SNES. Great cart. I don't think it's worth upgrading for me personally

[@sleepinglionarchives]

Agreed. With firmware updates, it can handle FX games

[@mikeloveskimbo]

I agree. I've had my SD2SNES almost 2 years and after first updating it plays Starfox 1&2, Yoshi, MSU1 etc.. As someone who used the Snes floppy disk wild card floppy disk system in the 90s (cool at the time) I've been really impressed with SD2SNES and don't think it's worth it for me.

[@Mante_killa]

what monitor is that? does it take rca input?

[@leecollins5479]

i had an everdrive x5 for my megadrive.well worth paying the extra for a quality product

[@nemesisnine3297]

So I'm thinking of getting a super famicom instead of the grey and purple snes because where I live the snes is stupid expensive and they're beat up and dirty, so does fxpak pro fit in a sfc and play all usa roms no problem? What about like super scope and stuff like that?

[@ATthemusician]

For some reason my fx pak wouldn't fit into my NA console properly, the part that locks the cartridge in when you switch the power on, but after taking it apart it works properly now. Love my FX pak, GBA mini and N64 x7 drive.

[@rkitchen69]

Where are those derpy Pokemon from?

[@skins4thewin]

I do wish that they still offered the shells with these that have the LED extenders where it appears that the LED's are on the shell itself so you can see them better. Other than that love the new look of the FXPAK Pro.

[@joshuaharper4439]

Hi there I just got this from Stone Age gamer can you tell me where a reliable place would be to get decent Ramz dumps thanks

[@mattmyers9351]

Great video! I've got a Everdrive N8 Pro, love it, great product! Can not say enough good things about krikzz and the products they put out! I also own a master everdrive X7 for my mega sg so I can play master system rom games on it! Very cool products!

[@pcm2fchris]

I got a rasperry pi and notice some input delay. Certain games (e.g. Mega Man, Tyson's Punch Out), it is very noticeable. Do Everdrives have any of this delay?

[@mattmyers9351]

@@pcm2fchris not to my knowledge they don't. Buy the one that says krikzz on it. Otherwise your getting some cheap chinese knockoff. The everdrives are basically fpga, which means they are replicating the original NES cartridges mappers and chips, the Famicom and Famicom disk system too if you buy the pro version. This isn't software emulation, it's the real hardware cartridge deal and worth the money!

[@Lenmaer]

Nice. But I'd wish they ditched the mini-USB port for an USB-C one or even an micro-USB port. That's really outdated.

[@Restalgia]

Yeah, its really only used for developer support and a couple odd features.most will never use it anyway, as firmware updates are all done via the SD card.

[@MaximilianRehkopf]

Hi, sd2snes/fxpak creator here :) The Pro actually does have a micro-USB.

[@Restalgia]

@@MaximilianRehkopf I must of misunderstood the comment. Yes it does use micro usb

[@skippyzk]

I'm glad it fits everything. I got a super famicom in Japan with some j only games.

[@WRILLI4M]

I got one of these recently. It's close to perfect, since very few games are still unsupported. Sadly, Sufami Turbo games (including the Carranger game, which I enjoy playing) are among these unsupported games for now. This is very minor compared to what the cart can do, though.

[@ATthemusician]

I just bought one from krikzz and it actually came in a hard case like genesis games, super cool

[@skins4thewin]

You made a mistake in your review. The Super FX and other chip supports aren't actual chips included on the board but are simply FPGA Emulated. There are no extra chips on the board to help support those chips.

[@Restalgia]

Thanks for clarifying man. I appreciate the info

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

I have a question...I read a couple of reviews that mentioned something about screen tearing with some games that used special chips such as Yoshi's Island. Had anyone experienced anything like that with this?

[@Ricky_85000]

Just ordered one after watching this video

[@SDChargers93]

As of 3-23-23 FXPro is in stock on Stone Age Gamer This device is amazing I love it I have one for my Mega SG It’s truly the only way to play honestly.

[@MrEightfortytwo]

Got the 7x for my sega and its awesome. The fxpro will be here Tuesday!!

[@Restalgia]

you wont be disappointed!

[@HMansion999]

does this work with the SNS-101 model?? (sometimes referred to as New-Style Super NES)

[@transtremm]

I'm glad it can handle larger size SD cards, that MSU-1 library of titles takes at lot of space.

[@LaminGaming]

Since there's no region lock. Would a PAL SNES run NTSC? Or would there be issues.

[@spaztask]

Any chance on a video on how to get cheat codes and game genie working?

[@BJWanlund]

Also I definitely am considering a FXPak Pro, but I was waiting to see what would happen. Looks like someone might have gotten Super Game Boy 2 compatibility going so that might be a purchase sooner rather than later.

[@JuanDiaz-jo1rw]

So how do we add cheats..

[@manichispanic999]

I got excited a second thinking this was for a new firmware update

[@Restalgia]

Developer programming

[@hhectorlector]

3:18 MSU-1 modded titles can be up to 4gb so that'll help (those are the hacks with CD quality audio)

[@HybridDivide]

A small correction for your video. The original SD2SNES (Non-Pro models) were the ones with the fewer features. The SD2SNES Pro that was released at the end of 2019 is identical to the FXPak Pro you're reviewing here. The name was just changed due to a copyright issue.

[@RedRanger2001]

Most likely the "SNES" in the title...

[@mrtea7562]

These things still have the voltage conversion issue? I've heard its been partially mitigated since it was first brought up in 2017 but not fully resolved and the creator of these flashcarts brushes off any questions about it. Apparently it could be resolved easily with a redesign. Not great to "overrev" the snes so to speak.

[@SixxsBunker]

Hello! Thanks for the video! I just got the FXPAK Pro and set it up. The problem is no audio is coming out. The games work perfectly but there is no audio. I am using an original Super Nintendo. Has this happened to you?

[@windyfionn5897]

Is the FXPakPro compatible with the SuperNT as well? Or will the voltage resistors cause long term damage?

[@vhx5438]

I was watching lots of reviews of super NT and sd2snes this past week and I did came across people talking about this issue and according to the developer of the super NT he said that voltage differential will not hurt the super NT at all, as for the original snes it maybe can cause problem in theory but extremely unlikely will be a problem. I think the voltage difference was 3.5V vs 5V something like that.

[@sean3920]

@@vhx5438 thank you for your answer. I had a couple concerns to figure out before buying this, namely the compatibility with the SuperNT and the FXPak Pro. Many forums discuss the sd2snes, and I know streamers that use a sd2snes and a SuperNT, but no one seems to have commented on the FXPak Pro itself. There could in theory be a difference in how the FXPak Pro runs vs the sd2snes on a SuperNT, because of the improvements to the FXPak Pro mentioned in this video. But it is good to know that the voltage issue covered here is at least not an issue All that said, I have been told it should work fine and have a couple retro discords from twitch to help work out kinks. I'll update here after receiving my FXPak Pro and trying it out with a few games

[@exodous02]

How often are Everdrives released? It looks like this one and the Mega Everdrive Pro are over a year old. Should I wait for new revisions? I just got a Mega SG and a Super NT and can load the cracked firmwares bit won't be able to play the SNES enhancement chips or Sega CD games so that is why I'm looking into Everdrives.
