Everything and More about the Everdrive 64

Just made an account to say thanks for this webpage that you made, and I think you've convinced me to buy this product.

Is there a way to sort the game list alphabetically? It's kinda sorted, but not really. For example it will list "Mario Party 2" before "Mario Party", then "Mario Golf" and finally "Mario Party 3".

Edit: Fixed it by deleting all files from my SD card and copying them back over.

Lots of hardware devices (such as home media players, portable mp3 players, flash cartridges, etc) don't sort the filenames properly, and instead partially or totally list the files in a folder according to the order they were copied to the USB stick or memort card. To fix this, you can move the files from the USB or SD Card, and then back again, as you did, or you can use a utility such as FolderSort which will sort the files into proper order for you automatically.

Note that there's a later version of FolderSort available, but v1.1 seems quicker and does the job properly, so that's the one I use, and you can get it from here:

I got two questions about the ED64.

I ordered mine ED64 in the 2.5 version because I can't get the V3 from Krikzz.com. It's not arrived in the US yet. The V3 is more expensive and they are not in stock this month. What's the difference between these two versions?

If you can play some NES games in ED64, what about SNES games or others?

v3 has and v2 does not
RTC (real time clock) v3 only
Separate SRAM & save battery v3 only (v2 you need press reset to save your game save)

Hi guys, great news! I just finished my page on the Everdrive 64: http://micro-64.com/features/everdrive64.shtml

The purpose of this page was for it to be the ultimate Everdrive 64 resource providing as much information about the device as possible. It covers what it is, where to buy, how it works, how to set it up, what it's capable of and much more! Everything is written to be as simple to understand as possible. It's very user-friendly.

Let me know what you guys think! If you have any comments, suggestions, or criticism please let me know.

Hi, great info on your site. Nice to see it all in one place. One thing I noticed though is the link you have to download the OS is broken, just returns a 404 error.

I just fixed that link but that was the only thing I changed. The page is approaching 2 years without an update which is something I really need to get done. So much has happened in the last 2 years.

This is a great guide especially for a noob like me.

Something not on your web page is that Everdrive v3 (vs. v2) has a spring loaded SD slot (press and it pops out, unlike the 2 and 2.5 that you have to press in with your fingernail and pull). Doesn't seem like much but it's actually an awesome/appreciated upgrade

[Traveller]

Probably been asked before, but is there a chance the 64 Everdrive will also be reworked at some point? I'm still on v2, but will probably hold off on upgrading for awhile longer still. Just curious if we can expect another revision at some point.

I doubt that, compatibility-wise the only plausible improvement that could be made is to do whatever is necessary to allow Smart Media card access for Mario no Photopie.

What other improvements do you hope for?

None really, I was just wondering about the possibility.

I just got my ED64 today and have a quick question.  I understand that both DK64 and Banjo Tooie have copy protection that the ED64 automatically patches.  When I boot up Banjo Tooie, it gives me a splash screen of the patch before going to the game.  With DK64, it doesn't do this.  Is there a way of validating the patch was applied?  I don't want to get into the game and have it erase my save at random.  I'm using a No-Intro romset for both games. 

[saturnu]

patches aren't needed anymore, just delete them from the auto-patch folder.

Found your site through google, great for new users of the Everdrive 64.
BTW, there is a typo in the OS, Cheat Dissable, common Krikzz.

Hey OP your list needs an update, for custom backgrounds. On the everdrive 64 x7 does not support a background over 320x240, and they need to be a jpeg. The older verisons use .bmp, but the new does not. 

Heres some good examples of this: http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=10508
