Scrub the all pins with isopropyl and a q tip if you haven't, even if you think it looks clean. The adapter, too.

I have the Mega Everdrive v2/X7 and none of the roms save with patches, save states, or pressing reset.
I let the ROMs download overnight from the epforums, just as suggested. This morning, I formatted my SD card, unzipped everything that was downloaded, loaded them onto the SD card, and they're still not working in the Everdrive.
Here's a question: I actually don't have an SD card reader, so I've been having to plug the micro SD card into my phone and adding the files that way. Could that be a part of the problem? Is it possible that the phone might be formatting the card in such a way that ROMs won't load on an external device like an Everdrive? If that's not the case, then I may have run out of possible troubleshooting scenarios.
Hello. I'm new to this forum and I'm seeking help. After following some tutorials, I've still had some difficulty in loading ROMs through my Everdrive. I have the ROM folders stored in my top directory, and all of my Genesis ROMs are .bin extension, but it won't load those or .sms files. For what it's worth, my setup consists of a Model 1.5 Genesis with component output using cables purchased from HD Retrovision.
I've tried storing the ROM folders in both the top directory and MEGA folder. I've also changed my In-Game Menu option from its default setting (shown as FF) to what I'm guessing is an off setting (NN). Despite all this troubleshooting, the ROMs still won't load. The Everdrive can see them, but when I press A to load one, it just goes to a black screen.
Will anyone be able to assist me? I just want my device to work. :-(
Try posting a request (WTB, want to buy) in the retro marketplace section, if you are lucky someone will sell you their old Mega ED.
Thanks, this sounds like a good idea. I was unaware that this section existed.
Also, it seems there have been lot of different versions of the mega everdrive over time, and I'm wondering what the major differences are between the v1, v2 and x7. I would like to know what the major differences are in layman's terms. I know that there are a lot of comparison charts out there that compare a lot of differences in technical terms that I don't always understand. Many people have told me that the newer versions are far superior to older versions, but I saw a post where Krikzz specifically states that v2 is exactly the same as x7. Is this true? Not true? Is there a major difference between v1 and v2?
All I really want is an everdrive that takes standard SD cards and has the ability to save game states. But it seems there are people out there that think this is a totally unreasonable request. If these carts were made in the past, why is it such a big deal for me to want one now?
No Eeprom save support.
No saves without reset.
No battery saves.
No save RAM.
I do appreciate you trying to help. But please correct me if I am wrong. I believe this video shows an everdrive saving without reset while using a standard size SD Card.
