I like Evercade because I don't have any old console. My oldest is the PS3. So having physical copies of retro games (even though is emulation) is quite special for me. I also never played most of the games Evercade has, so it awesome to discover new (old!) games. Had no issues with my unit by the way.
Great to see you into the Evercade ecosystem. Love my Evercade....I'm about 50 carts in so far....I have a full collection to date. I remember I had a similar problem when first got my VS., the power plug I was using wasn't pushing enough amps to run the thing.
I have the Founders Edition VS and really enjoy my Evercade collection even though its emulation its still fun to get packaged carts with manuals. The game play is fine for me the 1 to 2 frames of input lag is very playable I have been pleased with Blazes support of there systems.
I've been wrestling with this type of issue for some time and I ended up going with factory consoles with rom cartridges on a Samsung or a Sony CRT. Zero delay is the only way to go once you're aware of it.
I use all original hardware on crts as well. But it's hard to get good looking gameplay footage for a youtube channel using them. So I end up using both 🤣
Thanks! Ever since the undertaker threw me off that cage, things have been different 🤣 Also, you should check out my main channel (RNG Gamer). This is my "goof off" channel
The No Signal thing is an issue with LG TVs I get that occasionally with my PS5, Series X, and Polymega A quick fix is to go to settings, HDMI External Devices, then toggle the quick switching or whatever it’s called on and then back off It should automatically sync At least it does for me 100% of the time
It's funny that you posted this yesterday. Last night, my sons and I were just comparing my oldest boy's Evercade cart version of R-Type to the PS1, PC Engine CD, and Master System versions. They both agreed that the PS1 version was the best.
Thanks for covering the lag. I've had some experience trying to keep captured video in sync with cam video and it's a real PITA. 🤣 Does this VS-R drop sync a lot? The regular VS does between games+during boot video, and I notice the MiSTer does that a lot too when the sync modes get set as tight/immediate as they can get. my previous tv really hated that. My guess is the tradeoff for that is cutting a frame off of the lag. (at least that's how it tests on MiSTer with MiSTerlaggy)
I had no drops... but I only played about an hour. Also, it was 2am... and I was barely awake It's issues like this that make me stick to original hardware. At least when that screws up, you know there is nothing you can do about it. There's solace in that 🤣
Cool channel, i really dig your review. I've had an Evercade VS for a bit along with 14 or so cartridges. I love most of the things Blaze does with it, making some decent stuff more accessible like they do is always a net positive and adding the physicality they do is great. Some stuff drives me nuts though; the scaling and filters are, well, not great to be honest. And while I understand their pitch for adding the "Library" feature recently, i think it only serves to drive FOMO, especially combined with the fact that cartridges drop out of production with them all the time. Also, while they're got some really good stuff, even an occasional system seller like Duke Nukem Collection 1, they really need to work towards getting more well known properties. Some casual gamers are never going to be interested if they're never able to get Namco back on board along with Capcom (in the form of cartridges anyway), Konami, SNK and some other big mainstays. Honestly that fact alone is what pushes me to collect for my Super Famicom for my kid instead of this more. Otherwise, the stuff of the software emulation on this vs. on other sources like RetroArch vs. FPGA/hardware-based emulation going on in the comments is something I don't really care too much about. I play primarily on MiSTer (on a CRT alike) but things like this are still cool. When it comes down to it, more choices like this are always a good thing and if it doesn't do it for a person then fine. Play games how you want
I agree!!! I'm obviously new to the whole Evercade ecosystem, but I'm looking forward to learning more about it. I wish someone would make a MiSter that had a disc drive and cartridge ports. I would pay an insane amount of money for one
That's the main problem (input lag) with Evercade. If you use run-ahead features on retroarch you can "test" your "input lag and "delete it"... That means that you can play without input lag even using software emulation + wireless controller + average tv... I love playing on original systems but playing with less input lag than a CRT+original system using software emulation is like magic to me... Sadly Evercade is not there...yet... 4.5 frames is far from impressive from an emulation point of view...
You make a lot of good points that are all true. But it's a totally different market made for different people. It's like saying, "do you know you can take a Ferrari and cut the headers, and then add turbo chargers to the engine.... and then if you replace the fuel lines with carbon nanofiber... and run 100% ethanol... you can raise the horse power up from 800 to 1200! Vs. Dude I was just trying to review a Honda civic" 🤣
@@RNGGaming_TV I think input lag is crucial for retrogamers / collectors. But yeah I totally agree with that if you think Evercade is just for casual gamers...
100% I'm hoping that by showing them some support, it will eventually change into something more serious. Especially as the big consoles go more digital
Wow. It is hard to find another VS-R controller for this console. They are all sold out. I found another white VS controller. Good thing you can use other controllers with the console.
Overall the quality is good but the glossy controller sucks. Would you mind sending me this Tomb Raider Collection cartridge? Cause I ordered it on amazon and it still hasn't shipped 😂
Sorry! I am going to play it. What I meant to say was that I'm not going to play it in the review because I'm not familiar with it. Your copy will come soon enough 🤣
With the right software and hardware, you can emulate without lag or video issues. I'm currently using a Pi3b+ with wired 8bitdo SN30 pro controllers, analog video out to a 21" CRT in my sitting room. I have a huge set of shelves that display my classic games and systems from NES to Dreamcast, but hooking them up is a hassle and I've gotten used to universal save states. My ROM collections are complete, and I'm confident that even seasoned gamers would not be able to detect the difference from the real thing.
@@RNGGaming_TV No worries my dude! I dig your content, BTW. I build and program industrial automation systems all day, so playing with alternative operating systems and interesting computing platforms is something that I do in my own time to decompress. It is a time investment to be sure, getting everything set up correctly rarely if ever happens out of the box. I'd be happy share any software or experience with you, if you felt so inclined - either way keep making content and we'll keep watching!
@TheWarmotor thanks! Your job sounds really demanding. I don't envy you 🤣 If you haven't already, you should check out my main channel (RNG Gamer). Things are more put together over there!
I had the original vs and sold it. I didn't see the need for it when other companies like My Arcade and Retrogames Ltd does really good plug and plays styled really nice. Ime not knocking it, it's great for the collectors, i still have nearly all my carts that i use on their Hyper Mega Tech handheld and may get Evercade bar top arcade to play them on. At the end of the day it's a case of personal preference and my preferences have changed alot because their is so much great stuff in the way of retro to use.
@@RNGGaming_TV Ah. They are really going retro then. I guess that would be worth having. I went ahead and ordered one from GameStop. Kind of annoyed that they did not include a second controller.
I’d love to know what the output looks like on a crt. I imagine the menu would be stretched vertically to fill 4:3 but would the games be stretch vertically as well? That’s what happens with the snes mini on my crt using an hdmi to composite adapter
@@RNGGaming_TV Thanks. If mine ever gets delivered to me (I went all in and bought both the VS -R and the EXP-R, but since the EXP was delayed, I have to wait for both) I'll just have to try out whatever composite or component solutions I can find and see how it goes. I'll let you know (someday)
If it does not find any WIFI, you have to go in the settings and do a factory reset. Out of the box, I had to do that. I am sad that after the latest update, the turbo/autofire is still not working. Also I plugged 3 controllers (all working on the evercade) and I cannot play 2 player games and I don't know why or how??
@@RNGGaming_TV Just don't choose any WIFI I guess. Don't know about that. It is very minimalist, if you don't choose any wifi, it will probably turn it off or just not send any signals.
Im enjoying evercade . Think they just done firmware update to implement autfire and sure u can do button re mapping but u do by game i think not by default
The evercade and blaze....jeez, Where to begin? Its problems after problems with this product and company. Carts that wipe themselves, Flippant and vague responses from customer service, Hardware issues aplenty......the list is long and I REALLY wish i didn't bother
Companies see that emulation has become good enough to sell. I wasn't a fan of emulation in the early days but I'm one of its biggest fans. Nice video.
Hey RNG big fan from Mexico here! I just want to buy this console but the problem with the power cord makes me think twice. How do you solve it? They send you a proper power cord? you bought yourself? How do you solve the problem?
It was just a defective cord! I used another one I had sitting around. I would recommend it! I just got unlucky. Also, thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Emulation damn near only way to go.I got more room,1000,s of games.Most run perfect especially with fpga now.I do like pyshical but one day someone could rob you,it break,or get ruined.Always backup(aka download your games)
@@robertwarf3316 Well I wouldn't pirate new games at this point companies ain't losing money only resellers or price gouging greedy bastards are at a loss,but for "legal" wink reasons only download games you "legally" own wink wink.
Evercade as an idea is great, physical games you can collect makes it an attractive product but man, the amount of issues and mis-steps blaze have had with the entire range and still seem to keep doing is a joke, the latest 'R' range of devices have all had issues and manufacturing delays i'd not be surprised if them cutting corners somewhere is just degrading the product line too much.
They are a UK company dealing with post covid manufacturing issues, brexit, and the war in Ukraine. They are not cutting corners or cheaping out, but we live in a chaotic world and they are a surprisingly small company. Any hiccups hit them first and hardest-it isn’t a measure of competency or funding
What is wrong with this company? How can you ship power cords that don't provide enough power? Did the Super Nintendo ship with a power cord that didn't provide enough power? No sir it did not!
@@RNGGaming_TV Ah, sorry. Cable issue was weird though. Seem a safety concern if a cable can actually limit the current that much but still "work". Anyway. I have the old model which looks fairly uniform, so suppose the new colour alone simply brings smaller flaws out better.
Just buy an FPGA Console that does Hardware emulation instead of wasting money on software emulation hardware. The lag, delays and glitches associated with emulation just plain suck. FPGA Hardware emulation isn't always perfect because the Cores need development but once they're properly developed, they are as close to perfect as you'll ever get without using original hardware.
I don't really need any consoles... I already have everything. I was just trying out something new. Frankly, the emulator purists are so adamant about everything they say, it scares a lot of collectors away. What if I said to you, "just go out and buy $100k worth of consoles and games? You're squandering potential equity earnings by wasting your time with emulation. "
@@RNGGaming_TV Thanks for agreeing. An Analogue Pocket Handheld sporting a beautiful screen will nearly perfectly Hardware Emulate anything from the 16-bit era and down for $230 + shipping. The Mister Clone is around $200 to $300 and will hardware emulate everything from N64 Down on your TV or computer screen. Mister can do the same for around $500. To play all the Retro Hardware like the above-mentioned hardware you'll need $1,000+ in Emulation consoles and they won't run the games close to perfect the way the above-mentioned FPGA Hardware would.
I want to get a MiSter one day. But I hate...hate...hate screwing around with settings, and troubleshooting, and all of that stuff. My experience with emulators was a decade ago... and it was a nightmare
@@RNGGaming_TV Fpga is more staightforward than let say "traditional" software emulation. It's also more expensive. Analog is a trash company with horrendous customer support and wouldn't advise anyone buying from them tbh. The perfect solution might not be there yet. To me it'd a product with evercade concept running on FPGA. New licenced physical copy, not buying or using OG one.
I hadn't seen your channel before - you are the perfect person to review the Evercade and give it's pros and cons! I've had my VS console for a year and enjoy the value I'm getting for the money. Evercade has helped me discover games I hadn't played before and brought back some of my favorites. You have my like and subscribe Sir! 🎉
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the compliment. What if I told you that this isn't even my main channel.... 🤣 You should go check out RNG Gamer (that's where my main content is). I'm glad you are enjoying the evercade. I'm super excited about it
@@RNGGaming_TV Yeah, I caught the in the video which impressed me even more - I just subscribed (The algorithm is strong with this one....). Smart to have a second channel, allow yourself to stretch out and do new things while keeping the focus of the primary channel!

Also, it's awesome that you have a complete set
What Evercade did with their duke nukem remasters is pretty cool
It really is!
Good to see input lag test was covered here. There are too many other videos simply ignoring input latency. And that power supply issue is surprising.
The lag test was the most important part to me!
Agreed, a lot of remake mini console so input delay. I want to collect 'em but I can't accept that condition 😂
@persialoh4102 the Nintendo ones are basically unplayable to me
I wonder if the firmware updates have helped
@bedner23 I'm not sure
Had no idea you had a second channel! So cool!
I watch this channel almost as much as the other one because you actually get to see him play games a lot

I'll check!
I have the launch evercade vs any differce that u know of? Thanks other than color of the system :D
It has different internals. But I think performance is the same
The power issue happened to me as well. This is what happens when you have to use your own chargers. Not all USB-C chargers are created equal.

My May 1st preorder is still in limbo with Amazon… maybe I should go ahead and cancel. This was my first try with Evercade and so far not impressed
I've heard a few people complaining about Amazon for their orders. Try songbird productions. If they are in stock, they ship quickly
I want one. No.. i need one. Now! 😅
I'm so glad I grabbed one!
micro usb charger port ruins it for me. also r-type scrolling choppy, machines not quite up to the task, beefier cpu needed and usbc

Those controllers are butt ugly.
They are definitely very utilitarian
Yeah that power cable is trash,same w mine
I'm glad we were about to figure it out!!! I was losing it
Just buy an FPGA Console that does Hardware emulation instead of wasting money on software emulation hardware.
The lag, delays and glitches associated with emulation just plain suck. FPGA Hardware emulation isn't always perfect because the Cores need development but once they're properly developed, they are as close to perfect as you'll ever get without using original hardware.
I don't really need any consoles... I already have everything. I was just trying out something new.
Frankly, the emulator purists are so adamant about everything they say, it scares a lot of collectors away.
What if I said to you, "just go out and buy $100k worth of consoles and games? You're squandering potential equity earnings by wasting your time with emulation. "

Thanks for agreeing.
An Analogue Pocket Handheld sporting a beautiful screen will nearly perfectly Hardware Emulate anything from the 16-bit era and down for $230 + shipping.
The Mister Clone is around $200 to $300 and will hardware emulate everything from N64 Down on your TV or computer screen.
Mister can do the same for around $500.
To play all the Retro Hardware like the above-mentioned hardware you'll need $1,000+ in Emulation consoles and they won't run the games close to perfect the way the above-mentioned FPGA Hardware would.
I want to get a MiSter one day.
But I hate...hate...hate screwing around with settings, and troubleshooting, and all of that stuff.
My experience with emulators was a decade ago... and it was a nightmare
@@RNGGaming_TV Fpga is more staightforward than let say "traditional" software emulation. It's also more expensive. Analog is a trash company with horrendous customer support and wouldn't advise anyone buying from them tbh. The perfect solution might not be there yet. To me it'd a product with evercade concept running on FPGA. New licenced physical copy, not buying or using OG one.
@Gabriel-ly3yn wait until next week's video on the main channel... I went crazy with FPGA... and not Analogue 😁
I hadn't seen your channel before - you are the perfect person to review the Evercade and give it's pros and cons! I've had my VS console for a year and enjoy the value I'm getting for the money. Evercade has helped me discover games I hadn't played before and brought back some of my favorites. You have my like and subscribe Sir! 🎉
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the compliment.
What if I told you that this isn't even my main channel.... 🤣 You should go check out RNG Gamer (that's where my main content is).
I'm glad you are enjoying the evercade. I'm super excited about it
@@RNGGaming_TV Yeah, I caught the in the video which impressed me even more - I just subscribed (The algorithm is strong with this one....). Smart to have a second channel, allow yourself to stretch out and do new things while keeping the focus of the primary channel!
@RobertCatiller67 thanks so much! I'm so thankful to have you join the community!
