I like your video about Nintendo 64 Flashcart - Everdrive 64 X7. Thank you for the information because I too own a N64. I'll catch you on your next video. Thanks again, Madlittlepixel !!!
oh cool *clicks link*.... *spits coffee* wtaf
Where to buy this one at ?
@WoodStrings that's never going to happen
Do you know of any tutorials on setting this up?
The fact that a small finger nail sized sd card can store every N64 game made, is pretty crazy. Try convincing anyone of this, back when the N64 dropped and everyone would just laugh at you. Crazy how far we've come with certain tech.
i just mentioned this with a guy at work a day ago , its literally insane that like 128 , 256 , 512 fuggin terabyte cards exist. its pretty insane .
@GamingSince1998 crazy how a 100gb game from today can't compete with ocarina of time at 5mb or so
@@superlativeb *gigabyte.
Micro SD Cards weren't on. Terabytes yet.
But maybe years from now.
@@kevinm4x man my internet ain’t even good enough to play those mf games lol downloads would take forever, living in a rural area does that. I’d get scared of downloading a game I might like that’s tons of GBs in file size spend days waiting for download and may end up not liking it.
The EverDrive-64 is a big reason why the N64 is so popular this Christmas. It's nice having the entire console's library all on just one cartridge.
I got the X7 and I love it!! It's so fast and the auto region detection is great. The cartridge is so well made and I'm glad I waited until a new version :)
Does it come ready to play with the games on or do you have to download them?
@@eeefox1 you have to download them
@@eeefox1 you have to download them.
I just got my Everdrive X7. Many games I have to load 3 -4 times because of 02 errors or file not found errors. Any Ideas or have you had this issue?
Would nightmare creatures work on my pal console with this x7 ever drive? Game is only USA from what I can see
I’d rather get everdrive 64 with all the games instead of the limited run shitty ripoff Mario 3D collection
Hmm I'll just make my own for $250, you kidding?
no? 250 is alot of money.. sanni card reader can reflash chinese reproduction cartridges, so if you don't play more than 5 to8 Games it might be possible?
Can you play games on this Everdrive 64 without an SD card inserted? Is there a library of games in the cartridge itself? This is my first time ever hearing about this and I love my 64
Super 64 comes with every N64 game preloaded only cost $40. Save ur money
Just received mine yesterday and had already set the sd card up beforehand so I dived right into it. Loving it!
Where did you download roms?
I got my hands on a X7 about 2 weeks ago and i'm enjoying it. However I've ran into some problems with certain gameshark codes not working. (Like Majora's Mask, the enable code doesn't work. It just doesn't boot with the code on.)
where can I find the anti-aliasing patches?
I love flashcarts but I really wish they would put some work into updating the menus.
Plain text in a box looks super dated.
I'd like to see pictures of box art, screenshots of the games, maybe some menu music, ability to see scans of instruction manuals, cleaned up names, etc.
The mini consoles and front ends like RetroPie have spoiled me.
that would be a nice innovation in the near future
everything except the scans of manuals. Like. what's the point? At least for my mind...not so great with short term memory. I tend to have the manual there beside me for a quick reference. No need to look at the manual, then try to play the game, then forget a button or movement, etc..then have to get out the game to reread it..only to get back into the game and forget it again.
I grew up with these old systems and I still have problems with some games I haven't played in a while and that's honestly a problem with my idea of having scans.
I tend to have my cell phone with pdf files either loaded up or downloaded, referring to that as I'm playing the game
@@agonleed3841 - It isn't really about buttons or moves. Manuals in the 8bit to 32bit era often had tons of additional story and artwork in them.
Part of the experience IMO.
@@AlexysRM I agree. But it's so easy to just goolge the pdf AND while it has backstory, it's still a manual, with buttons and moves, and most would use it as such. Just doesn't TRULY matter whether it's on a menu to read within.
From my perspective
Yeah, a basic slideshow menu for game selection would help. Especially if youre setting this up for a child or the less technically inclines.
Anyway to get back to the X7 menu without having to reset the cartridge?
Nice review, I kind of want this version of N64 everdrive now. Subscribing to your channel after watching this.
why are these so expensive...
Love my V3, always great quality.
Same here it works great with my ultra HDMI
At first I thought this was a N64 game I had never heard of lol
wow another overpriced flash card...
F-Zero X Expansion Kit and 19XXTE 0.11 (Super Smash Bros. hack) are what I play the most on my EverDrive 64. Those two games alone justify the price for me.
Man the X7 looks like it is made from Nintendo itself, just amazing!
So, what happens if the battery on the board dies? Do you lose the saves themselves, or does it lose the ability to update saves stored on the SD card so your saves are essentially "frozen" until changing the battery?
Unless the saves could potentially be backed up to the SD card (idk for a fact if you can, just saying hypothetically), then it should be the same result as if the save battery on any cartridge dies; you lose all the data and have to put in a new battery if you wanna save on that cartridge again.
I do hate relying on batteries for game saves. Thanks for the replies guys.
@@codyr.48 I was actually just kidding. I really don't know what would happen if the battery was depleted.
@@codyr.48 Saves are moved to the SD card each time you start the system. The battery is only there hold them in memory until then, whereas V2.5/X5 depend on the console to keep providing power, hence the need to use the reset switch. What you could lose are any saves made since you last booted/reset the system, so just do that if you're expecting a longer break.
Backing up is still never a bad idea, SD cards randomly corrupting isn't exactly unheard of.
I heard the X7 allow you to play a few games that were to "large" for past Versions to handle/process -- Is that True?
You know: Now with the powers of the SD era, It would be impressive if the studio that made the RE2 demo for GBA, can be completed and fit into any 128 Gb SD. A portable terror without space issues.
Is it madre of "unobtanium"?
Anybody know if games like Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 support GBC Pokemon Gameplay through the N64? For example, can I play Crystal on Stadium 2 through Everdrive?
I don't know of any way to emulate the cross-system connectivity those games had. As far as I know that's also an issue with GBA-GCN connectivity in games like Sonic Adventure 2 Battle or Animal Crossing and the e-Reader
Theoretically, since the Everdrive is already meant to run on original hardware, you could probably buy the controller dongle and a GBC copy of Pokemon but I'm sure that's not the answer you wanted
couple more paychecks and ill buy one of these 😎 saw an old video on this but maybe it was an older one? love is back would be cool to see your take on them thought Nintendo ninjas wiped them out.
Cant wait till mine comes in the mail. Show my kids whats what on goldeneye and no mercy.
Typical, I just recently bought an x3.
Wont change how the games play. There's no difference its just some added features.
Does anyone know if I can get a quality no mercy of use this??? No questionable resets of caws.
Bumping for interest.
@@chrisb6992 huh?
@@4ArchieLee it means I’m bumping (or in this case liking and commenting) your comment in hopes that it gains more visibility and thus increasing its likelihood for an answer because it’s relevant to my interests.
You have a cold.. I can hear it
Nick Tronson you have updog
Leo what’s updog?
V3 also did auto patching as well you forgot to mention
Does the NES emulator work with the control stick and D-pad or just one of the two?
I never got into the N64. I was always a Sega man (specifically the Sega Genesis). But, now that I'm back into retro gaming I'll eventually start collecting for the N64 and I'll add an Everdrive Cart for it.
I had both. I am personally more fond of the Genesis. Especially the Sonic & Knuckles lock-on.
Mega Drive
@@SproutyPottedPlant Genesis
My day be so fine
Then boom, everdrive 64 is $200 which I can’t afford
Billy super Cartridge.... but make sure to see reviews ...
ed64 plus
Sell one copy of Conker's and you're golden there, champ
i'm content with version 3
Same here. V3 with Smokemonster pack on RGB-modded N64 with Tribute64 and Brawler64 controllers and HD Retrovision component cables going into a Sony PVM 20L5. Nothing more I could want.
yeah, x7 is better if you're on 2.5
Damn, $200 though. Its cool dont get me wrong but damn
Just like buying 3 brand new games at once.😆
CAPCOM784 the library is small on the N64. You are better just buying the original cartridges. The Sega Mega Drive / Genesis everdrive is worth buying but the N64 everdrive isnt.
@@Reactivate100 Yeah I know the n64 isn't my favorite for playing retro games.When gaming I mostly play nes,snes,genesis,tg-16, saturn, and dreamcast.
CAPCOM784 if you soft mod the PS2 Phat you can play PS2, PS1, Sega Mega Drive / Genesis, Nes and Super Nes games. I have a Sega Megadrive / Genesis Everdrive. Thinking of modding the PS3 next. Laters.
Im out here still rocking that $60 bootleg ED64 lol. $200 is too much imo
Does that thing handle all game saves properly? read an old thread on some form a long time ago when it first came out that said eprom saves wouldn't work properly any thoughts or experience with this?
@@rikkerdaddy Havent had any issues myself in the year i've had it. Just gotta hold the reset button before you turn off the system for it to record the save. Only real downside, but doesnt take long to adjust to it
@@sebs4238 thanks brother I appreciate it.
Why are they soooo expensive
I know right. As a hardware/software developer myself i know how much work went into it, but in my opinion they are still overpriced.
I plan to make a cheap flash cart, first for snes and maybe do n64 and other consoles later. I just realized how many features I would have to add to compete, but then again, if I'm only charging around $40 + shipping maybe it wont matter.
@@LittleRainGames $40 sounds reasonable
@@GravitronGaming theres already $50-60 n64 flashcarts. basically everdrive clones. ed64 plus
LittleRainGames just dont clone krikzz's work like chinese people do.
Too expensive for an old generation option to play your N64 games. Wait for Pico Boot. Save your money!
What the hell is this pricing?!!?
That's not to mention this model and every other is hard to find this side of the pond in little ol' england
yup pretty much impossible it get in australia as well
Well, it is expansive, but actually it saves your money, because you don't have to buy game cartridges. Also, you probably know that some cartridges for N64 are quite rare and therefore very expansive.
It's expensive buy it or dont
Why are they so expensive? Yikes...
Supply and demand i spose
Does the N64 EON work with the flash cart and make the games look better?
It would have the same effect as if you had a real cartridge, so yes!
Was this a sponsored review or did you pay for the device yourself?
Ill answer your question after you actually watch the video through.
Ahh ok, i stopped when you got to the nes and ips part. You should open with the statement saying it was sent for review though because there are far too many paid/ free reviews on you tube and amazon now. Its great you would purchase it though had you not got the v3.
How are you gonna look at those boards next to each other and tell me that not much was changed between the two
These devices are complete rip off
How often do you think we will have to replace the batteries?
Less often or equal to a computer bios battery, almost never but maybe once
Why are flash cards so expensive now $193 is £158 wow its just a cart,I remember buying a flash card for the DS for £30 years ago.
difference being, everdrive dont just flash roms on the consoles, but it also performing just as the real cartridge of the rom u were to play when other flash cartridges that arent everdrive dont and drops on fps due to the flash cart instead of the game.
everdrive is simply the best original experience to a real game cartridge
Just curious- if the N64 Everdrive can emulate NES games- is there any reason why it wouldn't be able to emulate SNES games as well?
This is cool, ive been thinking of getting a n64, guess i waited for the right time to get one especially with with eon hdmi adapter now released.
N64: 40-100 depending on model
Eon adapter: 150
Everdrive: 200
Wowzers!!!! Pricey
@@TheFrenchy82 French RGB modded first models are not so blurry. It can be a nice option if you find one.
Get the Rad2x instead of the EON adapter. Costs less, more versatile and looks better.
how do we populate the sd card? is there a card we can get that already is?
I am new to this, how would I go about putting N64 games on the Ever Drive? Does it somehow connect to your PC and do you go to a particular website to download the roms?
So you would need a micro sd card. You would save all your ROMS on that card. There is a slot on the top of the Ever Drive cartridge that you would put the SD card in. Then, when you launch the cartridge in your N64, you launch the emulator.
Great review I have a 2.5 and am really considering upgrading now!
Nice video as per. I'm still more interested in having the Ultra HDMI mod available for anybody who would choose. Getting hold of one of these mods is near impossible.
I have Ultra HDMI mod on mine and honestly, I wouldn't say I am super impressed with it. It does improve the picture slightly, but I wish it had more video filter options to make it even better. You might get similar results doing the RGB mod for it and it might be cheaper anyhow.
@@ianray9137 interesting. I actually have the Advanced RGB mod on mine. Now I'm thinking I might just be happy with what I have. Very confused now lol.
@@user-rd5wj2mm8n I don't remember if I did a comparison of Ultra HDMI versus RGB. I recorded this video with Ultra HDMI n64, but that purple N64 in the beginning of the video is a RGB modded n64 with deblur switch. I am happy with the Ultra HDMI bbecause I don't need to use any extra scaler etc. But im gonna check if I did a proper versus video, and if I havent or if its old Ill do a new one.
@@Madlittlepixel you an incredible N64 setup. Well jealous. Anyway, regarding mods, I'm hearing a new variant of Ultra HDMI mod may be nearing. One like the Wii Dual which outputs both digital and analogue. Keep up the great work.
does it still play ntsc at 30fps and pal at 25fps depending on rom loaded or only water physical unit you are using.
I got my self the 2.5v of this cartridge when it was new to the market and it's been the best money ever spent but if I did not already have that I wolud definitely get the new one
Same
Why doesn't it have a way to add box art
Still waiting for NINTENDO to make a 64 CLASSIC...
It's a lot more difficult than people who dont understand the hardware and logistics give it credit for.
TheeLightBearer You can just... well... mod them.
I’ve been contemplating on getting the x7 but I can’t find a site that has the roms. Can someone please help me out ?
check out Vimm's Lair
"wow roms" is a very good site!
Did you find? Lmk if u need
It's a mini b port m8 🤭
do you need an expansion pak or memory card when you use the everdrive 64x7??
Good question
That battery holder is so nice for very long term maintenance
I just purchased an X7, where can i download games onto my as card? Do you have to buy roms ? Sorry I’m a collector of N64 games but very new to these everdrive systems. And would love to know how to actually do that if anyone can help :)? ❤️
Does the X7 save without having to press RESET?
Yep
Hi, i got my Everdrive 64 x7 a while ago, now is giving me Error D3. I tried diferents and new MicroSD cards and nothing yet. you might know whats going on? Thanks
No SNES emulator? Dang.
What are you using for video output on this purple 64? It looks beautiful.
I actually didnt use that n64 for the video. That one is RGB modded with a deblur switch, but I used an UltraHDMI modded N64 for video capture.
@@Madlittlepixel Thanks! I am using the Super 64 and It does not look nearly that clear. I'll have to get the UltraHDMI one of these days!
Do you need a expansion pack for the games that use it?
Yes.
The menus are still so ugly, would love something that allows cover art as well.
Pretty cool that there’s emulation. But yeah, the msdos font style is a let down for me, personally.
'Ah man I want to play goldeneye but the msdos font style prevents me from wanting to play it' - said no one smart ever
@@eepykami Absolutely. The developers certainly have limitations when working with older hardware. Thanks for mentioning.
what do you expect? that console is OLD
@@LotarioRed That's not it, the console is easily capable of doing stuff like this and a flash card could in theory be equipped with such a function. The reason simply is, why bother? Flashiness only slows down. It's more important for Krikzz to have a functional and easy to understand menu, since you are only spent seconds on it anyway.
Yeah it's hard to know what you want to play, or to be inspired to try something new just from some boring text.
Where do i access the roms?
No snes play tho uh just nes? :(
Where you you get the roms for the sd though?
Everywhere
cant get the anti aliasing patches, smokemonster links are dead. can you post them please?
I know this video was just made for commenters to say i have an n64 everdrive and then boom the Nintendo ninjas track you down find and detain and bring you to Nintendo jail because you emulated Nintendo games.
I wish there was a way to load bigger hacks. Did you order the deadpool nes cart?
Where is that one at?
Great product, but if you have V3 there is no purpose and this is why X7 simply replaces the existing V3. So unless you have no clue about PAL or NTSC, everything else is layout tweaks. I personally prefer the cart artwork on V3 with the original Everdrive 64 logo and having an SD card slot instead of microSD.
Wow, imagine a switch that can only be in two positions caused problems to the point where they had to dumb it down, seriously folks put that brain in your head to work, I’m seriously frightened to see what the future holds, actually I’m terrified.
So everyone who purchased a v3 essentially wasted their money if they thought they were getting top of the line. Everdrive will come out with an upgrade to the x7 which will make it obsolete in a year. Don't waste your money on these.
Damn I thought these cartridges were gonna be like $40 ): now I'm sad
>$40. Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Hahahaha. It costs me nearly $300 AUD. I just ordered mine.
@@TheSolidMidgetOfficial Ew a 1 upper.
@@TheSolidMidgetOfficial Jesus I had forgotten that I paid in USD lol , I bought my V3 it was around 181 USD including shipping to Australia. so yeah your right its nearly double for us. BUT 100% worth it . Meant I could take my N64 around the world with work, also installed Ultra HDMI mod. perfect setup!
I paid around $170 USD which ended up around 180 with shipping. Definitely worth it!
Able to get more Emulators ???
Hi where did you get all those patches and cheat files, i dont need the games but save files also would be nice
But dose it have NES
OK guys I have the X7 can somebody tell me where is a reliable place to get ROMs from thanks
I have the Everdrive 64 version 2 and never felt the need to upgrade it even if a couple of games that I would never play anyhow aren't compatible.
The usb port on the V3 is called a mini usb.
Mini B to be correct. :D
If you don't want it later I'll take it. Lol
V2 also can't play Pokemon Stadium 2 which was my main reason to go with v3
For any games I couldn't play on my V2 Everdrive 64, I would just buy the cartridge personally.
I prefer to own all the games I love, yeah. The Stadium 2 cart alone is around $20 USD and a v2.5 goes for $50 less than the X7 so you'd still be saving if that's really the only unsupported game you want. Animal Crossing is popular too though, and would cost another $20. You'd also be missing out on a few convenient features of an X7 but both are a fantastic value in any case.
Can you still just use regular memory cards with the everdrive or does it always just save to micro sd?
didn't know that teleport in mario
I got an x7
I'd be curious to see if the NES games play better using the Switch NES controller connected to the N64 via the new N64 BT Controller Receiver. It might save me from having to mod my old NES.
Can I buy your N64 ever drive with all the games on it ???
So with this new version I can download a save file off the internet, put it into the ED64/SAVE folder location and transfer that to the memory pak/card and 💥BOOM..... all the costumes for Bomberman 64 unlocked?
do wannnnnnt. i need this for Nimpize Adventure 😍
StoneAge Gamer completely sold out.
Yeah, and then they decided to have a sale on everdrives. I was pissed.
I wish they weren't so expensive :(
Tbh the N64 libary is so small I'd just buy the games individually that you'd like to play as they are not too expensive compared to The Snes libary unless you're buying something like conkers bad fur day or Starcraft 64
Jezza 6692 exactly I thought of buying one of these years ago and thought the exact same thing. Don’t know why this system gets so much hype. There’s only about a dozen games worth buying for the system.
@@Reactivate100 nostalgia and most multiplayer games are 4 player compatible but yeah I agree the systems great but it's not the crazy Hype train everyone makes it out to be
i have a 2.5 i think. Im content with it. No need for the x7
iValter Baptista me too the 2.5 is great and can’t see the need to upgrade.
Have you guys experienced any crashes during gameplay on the v2.5 at all??
So if i buy this i need to download roms or does it come with all n64 games?
I just discovered this thing
Quick question
Do all n64 games run full speed with this?
Yes, it’s not emulation, it’s running on real hardware, so your experience will be bug for bug the same
This great but can we load save files to this device? Such as all the worlds and mini games for Mario Party to Mario Party Three? If that is true I might consider looking into this device 0/
Ev'ixyn yes you can
so many games .. just better than mario
.. why always show that game
Anyone have any ideas on why my 2.5 version stopped reading my sd card overnight. I’ve since reformatted and installed a build on it since and it still says its not finding the sd card. The card was brand new as of yesterday along with the ever drive.
