    Helped Revive a Seemingly Dead Console

    Posted by M. Murphy on Aug 12th 2020

    I was about at the end of collecting for the NES after a string of terrible luck with 72 pin adapters across my NES consoles. I purchased a Blinking Light Win to get my main NES working again and a base Everdrive to feel the passion again. The software meets my needs and loads quickly. It's a major quality of life improvement.

    Perfect, no real issues.

    Aside from a translation that was too big I've ran into zero issues here and am super happy.

    Absolutely fantastic, and room for growth

    Posted by Troy D on Nov 26th 2018

    The Everdrive series of flashcarts is the best you can buy, hands down. Krikzz's ingenious use of an FPGA allows for new games to be supported all the time, and features to be added to the everdrive software. I've had absolutely zero problems with SD card configuration, it's "Drag'n'derp" all the way through. While the OS may seem bare, it's incredibly well-thought-out and perfectly serves its purpose, with a few extra features added in. The only game I wanted to play that was incompatible is The Legend of Link, but that wasn't even a retail release and supporting it would increase the cost of the cart. A built-in .nsf player would be nice to utilize the extra sound chip emulation, but that's a really niche thing. This is an all-around fantastic product and Stone Age Gamer's presentation only serves to enhance it.

    The Everdrive N8 is a great piece of hardware. I purchased my N8 a few months ago and had no issues...until it stopped working. I let krikzz know what was happening (via his website) and I sent it out for repair. I got it back shortly (2 weeks) after and everything is in working order. Krikzz makes a great product and the Deluxe Edition stone age sells is great!

    No issues as long as you're using clean ROMs. issues with some 'hacked' ROMs. Very nice cart for people who want to play NES games on actual NES hardware.
