  • This aliexpress DIY flash cart for the N64 is cheap and handy.
    Compared to the Everdrive 64 from Krizz, this Pico-powered device can only be loaded with one game at a time. However, with its cheap, and accessible price tag, lets you access a ton of games and features.

    i do own a everdrive and a cheaper aliexpress version but as soon as i read ". Only one game can be burned at a time" they lost me its cool to see the pico still being used for so many things but having to load the roms 1 at a time is painful

      Aye, its biggest limitation is space. Which is a bummer, but still able to do some cool things for so cheap. I like the everdrive, but the asking price is preposterous. I'll be looking in to the SummerCart64 next.
      Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.

      @@DReviewTing i know you can get sd card reader modules that sit on top of the picopi as i have used them in the psx memcard project. im guessing in the future it might be expanded to allow us to do that but i think for it to work correctly it needs some kind of nand to temp write the rom to thats normally how the everdrive's and stuff handle multi roms and the picopie just doesnt have the space as you said.

      You're comparing a Rolex to a Timex. The price difference is the biggest feature.

      @@DReviewTing Why not use some SRAM to create a buffer the roms load from? Allow them to be pulled from an external source and be written to the SRAM, which is then mapped to the addresses used by the N64 with the Pico acting just to translate them from 2x256mb SRAM chips into the N64's address space?

      Still more cost effective. As great as the ever drive is, it's still too expensive new.

    If this can be made to stream data over USB without removing the cartridge from the N64 or turning off the console, this could be the perfect budget N64 homebrew dev tool.

    • @DReviewTing
      @DReviewTing  12 днів тому +1

      I agree, completely! There are some games that I'd never get to experience without these sorts of carts, or emulation in general. Some games are going for CRAZY money these days!

    The zelda didn't save, probably due to the cart not having a battery and sram together to hold it, but it was a very nice video.

  • @ChristopheVerdonck
    @ChristopheVerdonck 13 днів тому +1

    is'n portal bigger than the 16MB ? ho did you manage to get it on the cart ? (also they should have added a sd slot and PSRM for quick loading into psram from SD)

    • @DReviewTing
      @DReviewTing  13 днів тому

      That is actually a very valid point! I didn't even look at file sizes when flashing. Portal is 22mb, and even DBZKart is 25mb! I'll have to look in to that a bit further. Unless when the uf2 is converted, it is able to reduce the size further maybe?
      I agree, an SD card reader would be absolutely sick! The biggest issues for me is both capacity, and saving.
