definitely saving this video for future reference. i plan on getting myself 2 analogue pockets in december for my sister and myself. we had been talking about how we'd want to play some of the older pokemon games but didn't really want to hunt down legit copies and working hardware. i was originally gonna do just that, but the more i looked into my options, the more i was swayed by these flash carts and r4s. id only need the APs and the 2 carts with all the games we wanted loaded into them. though im not sure if we'd be able to trade with each other, but it wont hurt to try since im grabbing a link cable. it theoretically should work but if it doesnt, we would still have plenty of games to play even some rom hacks like Unbound. the sd card setup might be the most challenging part out of all this since i do not own a computer... i do however, have a tablet and a usbc sd/micro sd card reader dongle. so im hoping i wont struggle too hard setting it all up 😅
A computer will make it much easier. Borrow a laptop if necessary. Also, there are multiple cores you can download to play most older retro games. Thanks for watching.
Man I wish I can get one of these one day. But for now my only option to get an EZ Flash Omega. I know it's cheaper but I've already done my research between these two flash carts. Overall, the Everdrive is better than the Ez flash in terms of quality and longevity of the product. Plus, someone in the community did an awesome job measuring the battery consumption between different linds of GBA carts. From the original to bootlegs. In the end, the Everdrive is one to one identical as an original GBA cart. He even made a table for the findings that he got for everyone and I highly recoommend to check it out. And as someone who has a modded GBA screen and wants to play for much longer, this is my obvious choice. Great and in depth review btw!!!
Why run NES off a GBA Everdrive when the core is on OpenFPGA? It’s not ideal on the AP. I’d even prefer to have a separate GB/GBC Everdrive than emulate it on GBA. Enjoyed the video though.
Good point. The idea is to just show that it is possible to do so. I like combining the Krikzz with the Analog Pocket for the GBC and GBC games. Thanks for the view!
Could you also share a video on where to store the save-files for each game? For example, say I have a save-file of Pokemon Emerald on my original cartridge. I ported it over on to the PC. In which folder on the Ever-drive should I keep it? Do I need to rename it so as to allow Everdrive to load that save-file for the associated game?
Your best bet is to reach out to Krikzz directly. I haven't tried to do that before and I don't want to give you the wrong instructions. Krikzz has good customer service and I'm sure they help you out.
I don't have any experience with Pokemon hacks. I recommend contacting Krikzz directly and asking them. They usually respond within a day or two and are very knowledgeable.
cool little thing for sure, but the prices are out of this world, you can get something like the ez flash omega for half the price and it does literally the same thing..... i mean these prices are just.....ridiculous. 200 dollars for an NES sd card reader or one for the n64 as well.... these guys are just straight up trying to rob people lol id suggest anyone whos looking into this sort of thing to really LOOK at the other options available before spending so much money on something that SHOULD NOT cost even half of what they are charging....
I understand your comment about the price, it's not a cheap cartridge. However, I believe in the quality of Krikzz products and their longevity. All of our cartridges work great and I believe they are worth the cost. Thanks for watching the video.
“these guys are straight up trying to rob people” LOL, most people use flash carts to pirate games. Imagine thieves complaining that their thieving isn’t even cheaper. Sure, flash drives do “literally the same thing” as in play ROMs. However, there are several reasons why people pay extra for certain brands. Everdrives, for example, have better performance, build quality, and power consumption. They also have a lower risk of save corruption. EZ Flash isn’t a bad option if price is your main concern. Those who rank other priorities higher and have the extra cash can get Everdrive.
Power draw and stability are NOT the same between all flashcarts on the market. And EZFlash Omega DE gives you Mode B, Save states, and rumble. Everdrive gives you everything else whilst being more stable, less corruptions and a similar power draw to OEM cartridges. The tradeoffs are clear and grow the more you introduce random Krikkz knockoff clones.
Even better (sarcasm) when your country heavily taxes high price items from some countries, see your $ 200 everdrive climb up to $ 400 due to the stupidly high taxes customs charge. $ 200 I can think about, $ 400 is completely ridiculous imo. Yes I know they do this to encourage you to buy things in your own country, I would if someone in my country actually sold these things. The way things are, it is $ 70 for an ez flash gba, or $ 200+ for an everdrive gba, $ 60 for the clone n64 flash cart I got, or $ 300 - $ 400 ish for an everdrive 64, that difference is just not funny, damn customs taxes making an already not cheap thing stupidly expensive, just the price of an everdrive plus shipping I would be fine with, customs charging 75% - 100% of the order charge I am not okay with.

@@deadbunnies Thanks. Will do.
Thanks for the video. I want to play pokemon rom hacks, i want to know if i can use different types of gba emulator just incase?
I don't have any experience with Pokemon hacks. I recommend contacting Krikzz directly and asking them. They usually respond within a day or two and are very knowledgeable.
@@deadbunnies thanks for the heads up.
it is secure to buy in krikzz?
Yes, I have purchased them all directly from them with no issues.
I just had a delivery come in less than 2 weeks to the US so they're very reliable

How dare there be options that I don't agree with
