Just a quick update - they recently pushed down a new firmware update that will allow for multi-file bin/cue CD images. I'll try to do a followup soon to show how that works.

Just from my personal experience, the Everdrive is a good choice. I have the X7 and I looked for the first time in a year or 2 at the Krikzz download page and there were some updates. One of which was getting Virtua Racing working, which is pretty cool at least he cares about updates. I think that update kinda went unnoticed by the retro tech sites.

Oh yeah, also in case you're into playing ROM hacks, Sonic Delta 40mb is playable on any family of the Mega Everdrive (X3 to X7 and Pro), however with the X3, X5 and X7 you either need to use a modded firmware from the Sonic Delta 40mb page or hex edit the ROM to make it pass like if the game is Super Street Fighter 2 (the game can be saved by the way regardless of the method you use to play the hack) and you cannot have the 32X connected to your console, nor the Sega/Mega CD (at least with the ROM hex edit method as far as I know).

There’s a program you can find on google called redump to PSIO that I use for the PSIO flash cart that converts redump a to a single bin and cue. I would think it’d work for this too.

There's also Binmerge, a Python script that will merge multi-bin images to single-bin. It will also stay Redump-compatible, as in the CRC-32 will match the total CRC-32 listed on Redump. Versus burning and re-ripping to a physical disc might not, depending on the software used.

If that ends up happening, in the future I'll upgrade from the X7 (I'm currently waiting for my cart at the time of this comment) to that revision, but since I don't have a Sega CD, nor the 32X (and I'm hardly interested in their games aside from 2 or 3 of each add-on... like Knuckles Chaotix and Shining Force CD), the X7 is a perfect upgrade for me (I currently have the Everdrive MD V2 chinesse knock-off... that I don't use it too much for security reasons)

Sorry if I missed your coverage on the video already, but how does either device handle FM sound emulation for Master System games? Big ones to test being Ys 1 and Phantasy Star 1. In 2019 MegaSD's FM sound emu was shown to be crap, but maybe it was fixed in 2020. Or maybe it wasn't, and maybe Mega Everdrive beats it.

You forgot to mention that the NES CORE is FPGA RECREATION. Not software emulation, and not every NES game will work from my understanding (as of now). Saying "EMULATION" will only confuse people. Some prefer FPGA over software emulation for native play which is not considered to be emulation, but FPGA RECREATION.

Does the "In-Game-Menu" allow you to get back to the rom list? I assume that's what that is. Pretty important feature for those who like to jump through games, and have their Genesis system across the room. I do sort of wish this had a more modern GUI. Having a small corner display, showing screen shots as you scroll, can look great, and also be useful for some roms that you don't instantly recognize while scrolling. It's also useful for Save States. I used this a lot on emulators, to create my own makeshift level select, often right as it showed the stage # or name in the screen shot. That, combined with the ability to play either an mp3, or Genesis chiptune, can really make it a neat experience. Even my old SNES copier from 1994 had a nice looking graphical menu w/ background music.

I have the Mega Everdrive x7 and yes, the in-game menu does let you drop back into the file selector. The UI is barebones but at least it's very responsive which I personally prefer over audiovisuals you might not be able to turn off. The Mega SD has a flashier UI which is still nice but the MED Pro has by far the sexier cart.

@SiliconeClone

Game Gear produces more colors than the Genesis can produce. So there is an issue with that. However a lot of GG games are on SMS so you could get them there for playing, or use the patcher to convert GG games to SMS in order to play them on the Genesis. No core really needed. www.retrorgb.com/gamegearongenesis.html

you can. the GG roms have since been patched to work on the master system (SMS POWER) as it essentialy the same hardware requirements although colours are reduced and some border garble can be present they play just fine a good example being mega man and sonic triple trouble,power rangers.the file extension now being .sms instead of .gg the everdrive pro wont have probs il probs try this week.the sms can also run msx roms and again they are converted and will run on the pro .600 msx games. you know the other day i put the MiSTer program files on my pro sd card and the MD emulater actually booted up or tried a gameboy advance game,it glitched after 2 seconds but it STARTED so its possible the fpga can launch more than it says on the tin

Really cool info for you today. I got my MD ED Pro today and it works on my Retroad S Plus HD 7" Handheld SNES with the MD adapter. I am not getting all of the movie audio but the game looks stunning. Maybe I can use notepad++ to change some files and see if I can get that audio to work. Ali-Express has that Retroad S Plus but I would use like a green dot card or something and not a major credit card. Now I just need to get a hori fighting commander controller for the SNES and I can get my Popful Mail on anywhere.

Ahem... Or you can just buy the ROMs of new indie titles or rip some from collections on Steam and GOG.com or the Sega MD/Genesis Mini. Sega is very good for this sort of thing and if you consider for example, that the Sega collection on Steam has nearly 60 games (some of which are a bit pricy as original carts) and which goes on sale frequently, the economics start to make sense. Or that's what I keep telling myself at least.
