The only reason Capcom, Sega or Nintendo isn't making their own or even appearing on Evercade-cartridges is that it isn't worth enough for them to do so. The day it becomes worth it, they'll just release their own Pocket console or another Mini instead. Sad thing is that the only argument for them to license content for an Evercade-cartridge, gets diluted every time they release a new Pocket or Alpha.
I think you hit the nail on the head. It's just too niche and also, it feels like enthusiasm for Evercade products in general is starting to plateau. Keep up the awesome work!
Well said! It really is too niche for a large company to really care to go to that much trouble. And a lot of companies might be wary of the fact of how easy it is to dump these games that are already on Evercade. And they are so cheap anyways the profit margins for one company might not be worth a squeeze.
The legal information and Tengen info in this video is NOT correct. Tengen did NOT lose to Nintendo in court over the 10NES lockout chip, the issue with Tetris is Tengen did NOT have the rights to sell that game. Thats why Tengen carts (other than Tetris) continued to be produced and sold.
Thanks for the feedback! While it’s true that Tengen didn’t lose to Nintendo over the lockout chip specifically, they did illegally obtain information on how to bypass it, which was a key part of their legal issues with Nintendo. The Tetris case was separate and came down to Tengen not having the rights to sell that version of the game, leading to its removal. Appreciate the clarification, and I’ll keep this in mind moving forward!
remember that even back in the day 3rd parties didnt manufacture their own carts except for a very few notable and well documented exceptions (namely Tengen on the NES and EA on the Genesis). All other 3rd party game carts were manufactured by Nintendo and Sega (much to the chigrin of the 3rd parties some of whom wanted to). Only EA got that sweetheart deal from Sega and only because Trip Hawkins basically extorted Sega into letting it do so after demonstrating that they had already reverse engineered the Genesis and were going to release games anyhow. Sega of America relented and gave EA a seal of approval and let them be the only officially licensed 3rd party that was allowed to manufacture its own carts (thats why they look different with that yellow tab). As for Tengen, well those weren’t official at all and we know that famous story. So it’s very uncommon to have actual 3rd party carts for any system to be made by a 3rd party and has been for a very long time. You’ve got to go back to systems like the Atari 2600, Vic20 and C64 for examples of that and largely because that was before the days of any sort of official 3rd party sanctioned publishing by console/micro manufacturers. Nintendo put an end to that sort of “open manufacturing” policy with the NES and basically every official 3rd party game for every system ever made since is manufactured by the 1st party.
Thanks for the history on manufacturing. Yeah sure Nintendo provided the shells in almost every case , but in many instances, a lot of companies were using their own PCB boards. It’s very nuanced for sure. Honestly when I made this video I was more curious about the licensing side and whether Blaze could stop unauthorized cartridges from working. In the grand scheme of things that probably won’t happen though. It’s such a niche product.
I dont think a company would want to if I'm honest. It's more the other way round isn't it? It's blaze trying to make deals to get them on the system. So I don't think we'd ever be in the opposite situation. If Evercade ever got big enough maybe that would be something they'd consider down the line? I mean Evercade has got much bigger then any of us thought if we are being honest. It's got 10 times bigger then anyone predicted. So who knows mate. But for now I think it will stick with what it does and the way it does. Its been a bit of a weird year for Evercade this year, lots of new customers but lots of problems with Amazon too - SIDENOTE: why do people keep getting Evercade stuff from them then moaning when it don't turn up on time? Like everyone's been warned enough DON'T USE AMAZON! 😱🤣 (damn that was almost a semi rant, I've been hanging around you too long 🤣🤣)
I agree with this, but will also add - We see regular firmware and cart updates via the Evercade systems to bug fix and improve games already released, would Evercade feel obliged to 'fix' third party carts? Also, how big is the Evercade market really? There are quite a few handheld and console emulators on the market - I'm just looking at 'The Spectrum' - is there a real call for third party carts? I'd rather see Evercade work to get third party accessories into their ecosystem.
@@milgeekmedia yeah definitely, they've got a lot bigger than we thought initially, and are getting bigger but still a big ways to go. Good point about firmware updates, hadn't even thought of that. accessories a big yes. More than anything I would love to simply use a keyboard and mouse for the home computer carts. Happy with the analogue stick update. Using my ps5 controller with soul Reaver was grand - did not work with tomb raider 3 though lol that did some funny things 🤣
Yeah, I never expected Evercade to get so big. Amazon is definitely the worst and I never recommend people get games from there. It would be wild to see it happen.
You can still update the sp with a PC, most games will work without an updat regardless…unless it’s Cathedral …or Donut Dodo… but other than that, I think everything works.
As soon as I found out that the Carts were re-writeable that instantly killed my interest, mainly because of the type they can just wear out after so many writes/saves, unlike "burnt" roms like GB/older systems etc I suppose they diddnt wanna spend more money and put 2 chips on the cart for a second place to hold the updates
Interesting point! While rewriteable carts are naturally a concerning matter in regard to wear after multiple uses, the flash memory isn’t going to be rewritten anywhere close to hundreds of times causing the game to stop working . That being said, it’s definitely not as permanent as older ‘burnt’ ROMs, but it does give the devs flexibility for patches and updates that go directly on the cart and you can continue to take it to any different Evercade system that you might have. A second chip for updates would have definitely raised costs, and these companies look for ways to balance functionality with affordability. It’s a trade-off between convenience and longevity. I ain’t gonna bs you though 95% of people would be way happier with a Nintendo Switch which has so much more variety, and a way lower failure rate of carts because of the nature of the type of flash memory it uses.
@@PKInTheUniverse Yeah the problem is that type of flash memory isn't designed for long term storage, as you say. You can bet none of these carts will be working in 30 years like NES carts. But hey, is anyone buying them expecting to keep them for 30 years? I dunno. I got out of Evercade for other reasons - mainly their lack of testing and listening to the community. The control methods on someof the games are seriously bad - did a human even test them? Way too many bugs and issues, too. As far as I am aware they still haven't fixed the Atari cart which has the complete wrong version of Asteroids on it... I supported the Evercade from the start but eventually I gave in and sold my collection (50+ carts, VS and handheld). I really liked collecting for it but the quality control really irked me so I just use a MiSTer now. LOL.
@@QuantumYouth I definitely have NES cartridges that stopped working ( one copy of Batman return of the Joker, and one copy of River city Ransom). Heck I’ve come across Atari 2600 carts that were dead.My childhood copy of Mario rpg has a dead battery . None of these things are gonna last forever. in 30 years I’ll be almost 70. I somehow doubt I’ll still be playing Evercade cartridges at that point. Anybody who actively buys Evercade cartridges should get an EverSD . I use it mostly for the purpose of backing up all my cartridges,plus the save files , plus I can take all my games anywhere I go without actually having to bring the physical games with me . Yeah , blaze is never gonna fix that Atari cartridge. They don’t even make it anymore, I don’t know why they would.
@@PKInTheUniverse Difference is dead NES carts are usually just broken solder joints. The chips last a very long time, generally. But yeah, pretty silly to buy a modern system and expect it to work in 30 years. Imagine what options we'll have in 30 years too!
A nice thing, at least with an EverSD software is when you back up your cartridge , you can use that back up to actually fix the cartridge itself. My assumption is that is that it rewrites the cart to what it was before it was altered. Dealing with broken soldering points is far more invasive. I guarantee 90% of the people who are collecting these old games, aren’t going to do that. Yeah the possibilities are endless in the future, or the world as we know, it will have ended, and it doesn’t really matter.
The thing is, with the protections Blaze uses currently, a 3rd party cart won't work at all in the first place unless capcom gets the magic keys to make the files used to check the validity of a cartridge and each file on it. Obviously you could patch the console like needed for an EverSD to work around this but as you stated, that's not the point of this mental exercise.
Exactly! Blaze has not made a platform that invites publishers to do this sort of thing, and a big question really is why would they even go to the trouble.
@@PKInTheUniverse And this is only 1st layer deep thought! Here's a good one for you to think on... Blaze only uses protections to block you from bringing your own games to their devices. There is NO protection stopping you from copying their licensor's IPs off of the carts and sharing them or using them where and how you want to. Instead, they focus on stopping you from making use of your personally owned, 95% open source Evercade device however you see fit. I mean, they are required by law to provide you with sources for the software & OS they use upon request in a timely manner, including their unique changes to it. For some reason though, they focus efforts on protecting THAT and not protecting the IPs of the companies who provide them with the means to generate more console & cart sales... Does that not only seem anti-consumer to you but also self destructive in the long run? People wonder why Capcom never let Blaze make a cart, but likely this is the reason right here! At least, that's my opinion on the matter.
That’s a really great point. So many people when I say the security is a big issue for these cartridges considering how easy it is to dump the games , people always scoff at me and are like “ well you can get those ROMs anywhere on the Internet anyhow.” And I’m like you can’t get the ROMs from the mega cat collection games anywhere. What about the very specific version of Glover that was exclusively made for Evercade? But still people are kind of right, the majority of games you can play other places through dubious means, but it’s kind of the principle of the thing. If blaze wants to be taken seriously, they should be putting a little bit of effort into protecting the license holder’s games. This wouldn’t fly if Nintendo was doing this.
On the old Evercade site Blaze had a section where you could contact them about games and projects, although I sure most of the games we have have been gained by Blaze begging. 😉 I doubt Blaze would mind 3rd parties if they got chatting as EA did with Sega for Genesis & Megadrive. But ultimately these things use emulators which also need to be on the cart and there is to much that could go wrong if Blaze were forced to stop using one particular emulator and block anything else that also used it. It would make more sense to get in touch and sort something out me thinks.
Yeah , Blaze does more begging and wants to take the reins of manufacturing and distribution and the companies they make the deals with don’t seem to mind . It’d be wild if a company went out of there way to make these with no Blaze involvement.
Do you think there's enough of a market for unlicensed carts? I suppose there would be... it would be interesting to know how many people have a real Genesis or NES these days compared to the number of Evercades. Maybe no one does it because they could make more money distributing old games on old systems? For newer games I suppose Blaze would just block the carts with updates, as you say and it would just destroy any chances of having their games published officially by Blaze...
That’s a great question! There is probably a very tiny niche market for unlicensed carts, especially among collectors . Yeah Blaze could block newer games through updates, and for indie developers, it might not be worth the risk of going unlicensed when they could potentially work with Blaze and get their game published officially. But for older games, the challenge might be that unlicensed carts wouldn’t make as much money as digital distribution or collections like what we see with Evercade. Either way, I don’t think anyone would be able to get any unauthorized carts to work , unless the system itself was patched. The whole thing is just an interesting thought exercise.
The model isn't any different than Nintendo's. Publishers had to pay Nintendo for the cartridges to publish their games, this is one of the reasons why Publishers preferred going to CDs like in the Playstation because it was cheaper to publish.
They had to pay for the shells typically, but not necessarily the PCB boards. Yeah CDs were significantly cheaper and had far better sound quality on top of it.
Actually, Tetris wasn’t stolen by Nintendo. The story is a bit more complex. The rights to the game were originally owned by the Soviet Union, and there were multiple licensing disputes before Nintendo secured the console rights . As for the Evercade, it offers a curated physical collection of retro games with a focus on nostalgia and a “plug-and-play experience” ( other than all the horrible updates), which is a bit different from the modern, digital library of the Switch, those switch obviously has physical cartridges and there’s an absolute sea of garbage out there as well as other games . The switches library is literally endless . Evercade it’s highly focused on men between the ages of 34 and 45 or nostalgic for collecting old video games for cheap. I have an Nintendo switch and I have an Evercade . I’d recommend 95% of people go by a switch instead of an Evercade . It’s a very niche audience.
There is nothing dubious about making the all evercade cartridges you own work on the evercade hardware(s) you own. I am unclear looking at my carts and cases if Blaze has even attempted a EULA and that would seem to matter in suggesting Blaze has the right to make the cartridges they sell you stop working.
Well, obviously, they need to make sure the cartridges that they sell work, I don’t think they would ever stop their own cartridges they make for working, the cartridges they themselves didn’t make I wonder if anyone would consider those real games, especially if they don’t have the official Evercade logo on them.
@@PKInTheUniverseAs an end user of physical media I don't think I am bound by Blaze's implied rules that are not expressed in a EULA that I have not agreed to. It seems to me, that Blaze having rights or limiting end users rights to how/what the end user does with the physical media and devices they have purchased turns on securing our agreement that we don't own the copy of the software on the physical cartridges we think we have purchased.

Im amazed that no one has cracked the hardware or made a cart which is compatible but can host a sd mini card to host roms.
That’s basically whatever EverSD is . You patch the hardware and it allows you to play a cartridge with a micro SD card in it.
