- The Evercade is a new retro handheld that has its own cartridges with licensed games, protective cases and full color manuals. Will game collectors think this is madness...or perhaps genius?!

UPDATE: The developer has announced there will be a Day 1 firmware update to allow button mapping for those that want that option.
MetalJesusRocks great to know, especially for the Genesis, thanks for the update
MetalJesusRocks how to update the firmware? It all run by cart. Unless the developer update the hardware before launch
@@cs9927 day one firmware update via USB to pc
@@garycormack 8e. 77
Well, that update arrived and unfortunately it's just their choice of a different, more traditional button mapping, not your choice of mappings :/
I love the cartridges and how they are packed, remind of genesis game boxes.
They are most likely nothing but plastic with no chips. They just use the carts to limit the games the system will show so they can sell extra jumpers to show other games. All the games are already on the system, you just have to trip the jumper to show them.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
There is flash memory on each cart holding the games and emulators. You can't trip jumpers. Why would they limit the games to what was installed at day one. Doh.
@@JohntechFL no lol. They're loaded onto the cartridges.
I dig your T 00 L avatar
This seems like the first time in a while a company is realistic with there starting price. 80$ or 100$ aint bad would make an interesting gift.
That's cos thankfully it really looks like the team behind it are passionate about what they have
unfortunately it has stiff competition from emulation handhelds. You could get an Anbernic RG351P for a similar price and have a handheld that plays everything up through PS1.
Honestly, now Evercade needs to launch these cartridges: A Sonic Game Gear Collection, Mortal Kombat Kollection, a Capcom Collection, a Konami Collection, and an SNK Collection.
SNK and Capcom would be fantastic indeed.
How about a Chinese clone cart with microsd slot attached.
@@cincyfan987 No, because that would otherwise be Pirating.
I think we need a sonic mega collection type cartridge with all the genesis games (and versions) plus the game gear games.
Cory Moses Hey, maybe a Capcom Collection 1 with all the 8 bit games such as the first 5 Megaman games, Ducktales, and Gargoyles Quest and another cartridge will have the 16 bit games like Megaman X, Street Fighter, and Dragons Lair.
Atari Bowling: "It looks dumb, but it's actually pretty fun." Great quote.
That’s what people say about me
No
Also an accurate one! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who still plays that game.
I played the hell out of that game back in the day. I can still hear the sounds clearly in my head.
That game was so much fun, yet it pissed me off royally too. It's called pleasure pain. 😤😛
The way the cartridges kinda complete the back of the system is so satisfying
The thing that excites me about the Evercade, in addition to what they already are doing with it, is the fact that they mentioned the possibility of doing dev-kits so people can develop original software for the handheld.
Tanzer is a Mega Drive game by Mikael Tillander released in 2019, that was distributed in cartridge form by Mega Cat Studios. Mikael is a really talented guy and I just wanted to make sure he gets some credit.
Thank you so much! :)
Will they have old PC games to from dos, windows 95? I want to play lemmings, sim ant, the old Star Wars games from the 1990’s too.
You're right: This is an area that has yet to be tapped by these devices: A MS-DOS / Win95 gaming machine. I'd love to see it!
@Mike UK 1970 unless you have Lemmings Touch for the Vita?
@@MetalJesusRocks "You're right: This is an area that has yet to be tapped by these devices: A MS-DOS / Win95 gaming machine. I'd love to see it!
"
I'd love to see a Win16 compatibility layer for 64 bit Windows, at the moment you have to download a hooky copy of Windows 3 and install it on DOSBOX or get a hooky copy of WIndows 98 and install it in a virtual machine.
You guys remember great games such as The Incredible Machine and Chip's Challenge?
@@lemming9984 "unless you have Lemmings Touch for the Vita?"
Lemmings on the Switch?
Nah, Psygnosis got bought by Sony...
Genre collections would be cool. Like a shmup cartridge, a beat em up cartridge, an rpg cartridge... I would want all the shmups on this console, so if publishers could be brought together to make a cartridge with all the shmups they wouldn't otherwise include in one of their own collections, that would be awesome.
I don't think thats possible. That would be a nightmare for licencing.
OMG! this has me so excited. this is like the arcade 1up of handheld consoles. the screen looks good the console looks good and runs well, not only that but the cool cases and best part a manual with color!!!!!! who didn't love to look for the manual when u bought a game and the excitement of finding a colored one was true pleasure... and their back again... nice.
I hope they put out a NEO-GEO SNK collection, I'm always been a big fan of their shooters, especially the Sonic Wings/Aero Fithers saga
^^ THIS ^^
This whole thing reminds me of the portable neo Geo.
Prehistoric Isle! and Samurai Spirits! Etc!
@@jkdino3499 Don't forget Metal Slug :D !!!
Well, the three most obvious names that come to mind for future collections are SNK, Capcom and Sega!
YEAHHHH!
....+Konami
Lol and they are supposed to get the licenses for these?
If they were arcade versions.
@@emmamarie4861 "Lol and they are supposed to get the licenses for these?"
Why would they not?
GeoNeilUK $$$
Actually I wouldn’t like the ability add my own roms. I have plenty of devices that let me do that. I like the fact they have curated games and cartridges. The Data east pack looks best so far with the mega cat and piko interactive cartridges also looking interesting
I agree, there's literally hundreds of devices which you can do that, I like it like this too
lenonbaby that’s very true. The OG mega drive and SNES ran roms :p
I think you can argue that emulation isn’t perfect. Even the much lauded Mega Drive mini had some lag that not picky reviewers picked up on.
My GPD XD runs these roms fine. I think at the price point this is. The presentation and game selection this is nice. And I think it’s a nicer way to enjoy these games, rather than downloading roms.
@@Liquidcadmus I don't think you any clue of what ROMs are.
I agree with the sentiment... But let's be real for a moment, the eventual selling point of this machine will be good portable emulation for 8bit and 16bit games. That's why the creators put out that statement on their site. They know it. We know it. Pirates know it. But we can't flat out say it or else they would be sued into oblivion by Nintendo and all other companies in class action. Its noble of them to release these cartridge packs but come on. Its like PSP but with good emulators. Because that is all anyone ever did with the psp.
KeijiMaeda86 Your completely missing the point of this. There’s literally thousands of devices you can use to play roms on but you never really OWN them, your playing them illegally. It’s nice to actually own fully licensed physical copies and the cartridge format just adds to the nostalgia feeling.
When you have access to hundreds of thousands of games you never really focus on the game your playing.... With something like this you can actually focus on the few games you’ve got with you and you own...
I really hope this is successful enough for them to continue releasing cartridges
Looks like a great portable console. I would imagine someone will make a cartridge that will have all of the games and more on it. I hope this company does well. Looks like they going about it pretty good
No mention of the reverse button mapping and audio glitches?
a lot of youtubers fail to mention that in their review of the system. if you want a good review of the system that mentions those issues go watch Game Sacks review
If they don’t mention it they have paid not to.
Sounds like Joe from gamesack wasn’t crazy about reviewing to begin with
@@Retrogamershaun Ashens criticises it quite a bit and mentions nothing about any problems of the sort... Is this maybe a problem with the US version?
Ashens biggest complaint was the boxes and manuals didn't tell you what version of games you got. He was disappointed to find NES versions of games he expected to be Arcade. He also said about the cartridge being overly-snug. He also said a lot of the games were just naff and unless you held a real nostalgia there wasn't much point to them - he was meaning Atari haha.
Hmmm
How many times are we going to re-buy these games? 😂
You mostly buy the technology and can you imagine the clusterduck a company like that would find themselves in to verify purchases :)
Glorian 777 I’m doing it on the switch. Love the mobility
This might come as a shock to you, you don't need to keep re-buying them, you only need to re-buy them if you want to play them on the latest technology.
You don't hear people complaining about having to re-buy the same movie when they upgrade from VHS, to DVD to Blue Ray.
@@se7encureton - At least you can play multiplayer on the Switch...not this thing.
There seems to be a pool of games that are easy to license.
Mad Genius? Thanks for taking a look at this for us. We are excited to get it into peoples hands!
Very cool console I'm sold on the color scheme alone. Thank you for creating something for the enthusiast and collector!
Thanks for the review unit. This was a fun video to make. I"m curious to see what new cartridge pack you release in the future!
This made my collector senses tingle.
I cant wait for the 9th April very very exciting the unit the boxes for the games and the colour manuals all look fantastic here in the uk it's going to be sold in argos and I believe game both uk high street chains 😊😊😊😊🎮🕹
Oh and fantastic video as always fella been watching you for years and you are a huge influence on me so much so I made my own channel some time ago all after watching you and RGT 85 and wood for years 😊😊😊😊
This seems like a quality handheld which was well thought out and put together.
Absolutely more in depth on the game system,Being able to see it up on the TV screen,This is great thank you,Metal Jesus.
not a good review because he didn't bring up the bad button mapping or the audio glitches
Ooooh, I'm a big fan of those cartridge boxes and full color manuals.
Great video! I was really interested in this system, and between your video and RGT's video, I'm sold on it. Thanks for going so in depth on this!
This was a fun review video to make. Thanks for watching!
Who's being conned, here? Friend, I suggest you put your efforts into something meaningful rather than tearing folks down. If you don't like people having Patreons or Subscriptions to their channels, go about your business and move on. Filming manifestos about how upset you are is a massive waste of energy and borders on obsessive fanaticism.
Personally, I don't mind tossing some money over to a person once a month that provides me with a lot of entertainment or information, much like I don't mind tossing $10 to a busker playing music on a street corner. I like the channels I watch, and I'm glad to help support them. If you're not, move on with your life and do something worthwhile.
@@JCorduroy What happened lol
@@Morbisus he's arguing with the wind
@@monochrome1829 Well, the dudes comment bamfed the hell out like Nighcrawler, so I guess I am. :P
I'm sold! I'll be buying one! Thanks for the review!
Wow this actually looks neat! It’s a nice touch with physical cartridges 💓
This company is in the UK. Hit them up for a review unit. I'd love to get your perspective on it too.
MetalJesusRocks Thanks dude I’ll hit them up 💪
Cool console retro .
Future ???
Capcom , Konami , SEGA ...
1st, I'm hoping they make a cartridge that has all word games. Scrabble, Scrabble Journey, Scrabble Plus, Scrabble Junior, Boggle, Bookworm Deluxe, Bookworm Adventures, Upwords, Wordtris, Text Twist, Lexicon, Wheel Of Fortune, Family Feud.
2nd, I'm looking for them to have a billiards game collection. Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend (especially this one, MD version), Side Pocket, Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker, Championship Pool, Archer Maclean's 3D Pool, Hardcore Pool, Killer 3D Pool.
Do these carts or something relatively similar and you will definitely have my undivided attention, Evercade!
Says it isn't another emulation machine, but then later says its obviously using emulation to run the cartridges......lol
Things retro gamers apparently love:
• buying new proprietary cartridges of old games
• Spending US$20 for a handful of ROMs only compatible with a US$99 console
Seems a really nice console...Really interested in the Piko collection...I've seen some Amiga ports even.
The piko collection is on Steam and they go on sale during the sales. Most have negative reviews so you can grab what games you want.
@UCIqYdpA0VqSjdJnRi9LwxNg Yes over the last sale I saw some of the games on sale and I clicked on the publisher and they have a bunch of games and they go on sale during the big sales.
@@paulpjr3224 AH but they're like 5 bucks each , the Pico Collection for Evercade is 17 bucks for 20 games and it's on a real cartridge sooo...
Yeah, would be cool to play Turrican, Toki, Settlers and many more. Honestly 100 USD for console and 3 cartridges is great price.
@@drstephenstrange897 That's true but they went down on in price for like 1.50 each over the sales. Not all of the games I am interested in so I can just grab some I liked then. I rarely play games on the go. I guess if I did travel a lot or take rides where I am not driving it would be good then to pass time. I was just pointing out that it is on there as well as all those Atari games too.
Looks nice! Maybe they can make a stationary console version eventually with multiplayer. I like the idea of a 2D game console that can have it's own ecosystem unaffected by the big game companies need to release Game Box 1, 2, 3... etc.
If I remember the press photos correctly, this is exactly what they are doing... there will be a console version that uses the same little carts.
@@RichardCraig now that sounds pretty good
I'm not going to say you predicted the future, but a home console evercade is happening.
This is a collector's device. I want it for what it is. I have tons of good ways to play these games already, but nothing like this has grabbed the collector in me like this one.
I think it’s the reason these mini consoles are doing so well at the moment. You could download an emulator on your PC and play just about anything and everything that’s ever been released on any console......but it’s not the same. The physical cartridges, original controllers and being able to show off and display a collection. There’s nothing quite like it.
Except it resembles nothing. Mini consoles have visual appeal due to the similarity to classic devices. This looks like those dollar store consoles with built in NES games.
@@DoubleU555 this is supposed to be a new console for playing both new games and old and hopefully encourage new development. It's not trying to be an old system. There are a ton of clones already out there that even actually play old game boy carts. They are trying to bring new retro style games to the table, but offer old ones right off the bat because they need to get interest for developers to jump on board. I'm hoping to see a lot of good "new retro" game carts come to the system like the Piko cart.
Indeed I think it's truly unique and cool enough to get into kinda like the NeoGeo handheld.
Great overview. I honestly had no idea Blaze was still around. The Evercade seems like a good concept with its multi pack idea. I don't necessarily have a need for one, but it make for a fun stream or two with its variety of games available. The price seems right too.
Q: What’s better than an off brand emulation handheld?
A: An off brand emulation handheld with PROPRIETARY CARTRIDGES 🤣🤣🤣
Or you can just grab your own roms online for free put them on an SD and play on a Super Retro-cade
@Tech With Sean - Indeed, what a facepalm.
I really dont know why anyone would buy the cartridges when you can get the ROM online for free
This isn't off brand, it's completely licenced, and with the latest firmware most issues are fixed. This is a niche product for a niche audience, of course those cheap emulation handhelds are way easier
If they were gonna go for the console versions of some of these games, why didn't they do PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 instead of the NES versions? The Genesis versions are perfectly fine arcade replacements, but NES?
@@simonbelmont548 - NES was ur mom...Master System had far better 8 bit arcade ports!
Compilation discs went the way of the dodo when they found out they could charge five bucks for one game download whereas before a compilation disc would have like 30 games for twenty bucks
Yeah, still holding out for a potential Neo Geo collections on Switch. However if more Neo Geo games get the Garou treatment on Steam, I'd vastly prefer that for proper multiplayer no lag.
@@Turbotef A Neo Geo collection is never going to happen. At least not for the series that matter like Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, and King of Fighters. SNK will keep doing the nickle and dime thing for decades. I'll be dead in buried 60 years from now and SNK will be releasing King of Fighters 98 on PlayStation22 for $8.
@@KeijiMaeda86 I mean, SNK released like a 30 game bundle a couple years back and charged whatever you wanted to pay if I remember right, so you could pay like $1 if you wanted. I think it was a humble bundle thing.
@@duffman18 was it the games people actually want? There's a game collection on Switch and presumably all the other consoles but its games like Athena and Ikari Warriors. None of their fighting games. MAYBE the first fatal fury. None of the metal slug. etc...
Would love a Taito collection with all the Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, and Parasol Stars games!
God damn, me too
I feel like this is exhausted to the point the fruit has no more juice.
This sounds like a tagline to an adult film! #Giggity
@@MetalJesusRocks I feel it down in my plums.
Thank you for this review I’m so excited to get this system with all the game cartridges when it comes out in March. Love all your videos so Thank You an God Bless
The yellow tape on the rear bottom written Chinese meant "the battery has been replaced !"
I wondered what that said. Thanks!
@@MetalJesusRocks Atari Jaguar greatest hits would be an awesome cart.
@@richardtorres5940 not enough buttons on the evercade for those games
Releasing a cartridge where you can add your own rom's will defeat the entire purpose of this console. Just my opinion.
Wow, Gratulation to your appearance in the game. That must be a big honor
9:53 And indeed, announced today, they will be releasing arcade versions (in purple boxes). Pre-orders available on May 28th.
Love the concept and look of this. I’ve been saying for ages that I would love a mini that had multi carts to collect rather than you buy it and then that’s it
As a Namco person myself, I absolutely love console ports of Namco games, especially on the NES, SNES, and Genesis, although they didn't include TurboGrafx-16 games such as Splatterhouse and Galaga '90. Another disappointment is that Blaze didn't release a Namco arcade cartridge. Not even sure why. Luckily, on September 24, 2021, Hamster Corporation (a Japanese video game publisher behind Nichibutsu games as well as a library of games from UPL, NMK, Video System and Allumer) came to the rescue, as they released tons and tons of Namco arcade titles onto their Arcade Archives collection, starting with Pac-Man and Xevious.
3:58
You say that like the neo geo pocket came out like 20 years.....ago.....oh wait.
Damn I'm old.
I still remember the morning back in August 1999 (I was 19) when mine showed up (I think I ordered from The Cave) along with Metal Slug 1st Mission, Biomotor Unitron, and KoF:R2. Amazing little handheld for its time offering me some memorable gaming experiences in handheld form.
I borrowed it from the only friend I knew who owned it. I thought SNK vs. CAPCOM MOTM was gonna suck on that system but damn that game was fun as all hell!!
I’m already looking in to this system Great idea with the cartridge’s Perfect for the retro gamer like myself and others
Awesome when things work the way they're supposed to, unlike my pancreas.
Metal Jesus, thanks again for just being awesome. Broke as f*** but going to do some overtime to get this for my nephew
Hi Jason. Thanks for the video. I knew about this handheld and was on the fence about it. Your video is very informative and looks to be a promising device. I'm still not sure if I should go for it. Question is: will they support this thing with more games in the future? Or will this go down the drain pretty quick if they don't sell enough in the first few months? I guess only time will tell. But your video definitely put me more towards the buy side.
This looks like a very decent collector's item but also a very cool gift for kids! Perfect to give them a taste of what it was like back then, with the nice box, the cool cartridge and booklet, good quality console and no online store, paid powerups, etc. And also without the hassle of needing 4-5 different expensive consoles and not being able to afford all those games. So, just the good part.
They should aim to have their products released in GameStop and Best Buy throughout North America.
Now that's what we may have been walking for. A nice multi retro handheld with av out with physical copies. Look at those cartridges! How they fit seamlessly.
But when you said our own games... I imagined that it would be our own developed homebrew games. That would be nice too.
Despite these type of games not being my interest, this is an overall great product. The cartridges, the quality, it would be a great buy for an arcade lover
Sometimes I forget the Evercade had such humble beginnings. Now that it’s so fleshed out with the VS/EXP, the arcade and PC games, it seems so absurd that its library literally started with Atari games
Heh, worries a change in aspect ratio would be too jarring? What a shitty cop out lmao. It’s alright to criticize things even when you’re getting paid to promote them, Jason. Need to be transparent number 1, but honesty is a close second...
Hey he got al this shit for free and wants to keep getting free shit. Maybe we should email the company and tel them we don’t mind being jarred so go ahead and release the arcade versions . I’m up for a good old fashioned jarring
To be fair to them, I do believe the more casual consumer would find it jarring and complain similar to how they watch 4:3 content in glorious "stretch o vision" to avoid black bars, much to my annoyance. Not to mention in many cases the NES or other home version is the more well known one. I'd take Pac-mania NES over any other version! I'd love them to include both so we get to choose or even make a unit with a body similar to a Wonderswan so we have a tall screen for arcade games.
Loads of Tänzer coverage there, huge thanks. :)
The one negative with the Evercade is no multi player at all with it. That's one thing they should have had built in for use when hooked to a TV.
Yeah, it would be great if you could pair two of them together either over WiFi or USB for 2 player games.
Agreed. Wifi or bluetooth, if equipped, would be better for 3+ player games, like Super Off Road. BT would also be great for supporting joysticks and other hardware during tv play.
Wifi or Bluetooth would need extra hardware and additional certification costs, which is not necessarily justified at this pricepoint; but i'm sure they have a USB OTG right on the SOC.
Really looking forward to the Evercade, thank you for this video!!
Great to see a pixelated Metal Jesus and AlphaOmegaSin on the same screen together!
Wonder Twin powers...ACTIVATE!
Shape of a Les Paul. Form of a guitar pick!
10:05 Mega Cat Game studios collection
11:23 Piko Interactive collection
Trying to pass off home console versions instead of arcade versions as a "plus point" stinks. The only reason people played consoles back in the day is because the arcade version would be unattainable in your own home! Of course we want the arcade version now!
Having said all that, I still want it.
I have a broken soul.
I don't see the point in something like this compared to piracy / emulation handhelds. The battery life is also crappy, at only 4 to 5 hours.
It’d be cool if this could dock into an arcade cabinet. Especially with the arcade game version cart idea. X-Men, TMNT, and Simpsons please!
Sunset Riders ...
It's only for one player though, they'd have to add a multiplayer feature first...
I'm on board with the Evercade. We'll definitely be covering 100% of its content =)
It's called evercade...but alot of these games are console ports? Am I missing something...I thought they would be arcade ports
Finished the video and got my answer. Lol
So the Data East pack isn't the original arcade versions? Shoot...
I'd love to see a capcom collection and a snk collection
I picked up a system for Christmas and have to say it's my favorite console. Don't think I'm going for a complete collection but will definitely pick up all the old school vibe games!
Would love to see a Wizardry, ultima, or heroes of might and magic collection on this.
Love that idea! Would like to see an EPYX collection with California Games, World Games, Summer and Winter Games, Street Sports Basketball and Soccer, Pitstop I+II and 4x4 Offroad Racing. What a package that would be.
This is a really cool idea, I particularly like that they'll be physical releases. And the HDMI feature really sells it for me! So I could use it for streaming and recording! (Plus I mostly prefer to play on the big screen)
or use ya phone
Yeah that's why I love my GPD XD+. Because I can play it on the go or plugged into my big TV through hdmi. So it perfectly complements my Switch. For all the games that haven't been re-released for Switch like the mega man games have, or probably won't ever get re-released for any console, I can emulate them and play them on the big TV. Like stuff like GBA games look amazing on a big TV, and I think this GPD thing costs less than the gameboy advance consolizer, but obviously does more cos it's basically an android phone with physical buttons so it can run any android emulator that exists. Warioland 4 looks gorgeous on a big TV. That game needs re-releasing on the switch but they don't port GBA games, it seems. Capcom are gonna be the first to do it when their mega man zx collection comes out, so I'll buy that. But there's so many great games that would be so much better with the high quality switch screen compared to the old GBA ones. But until then I've got this little fake 3DS thing for all the other thousands of games. The HDMI output really did sell it to me as the other handheld emulator devices don't seem to have that
@@duffman18 Sweet, that looks really interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to check that out also!
The 7800 version of Desert Falcon was hella fun. And nice shoutout on Xevious. I used to play that for hours, again on the 7800.
It would be nice if you put the titles of the games somewhere on the screen when they are shown. I have thought that for a few of your compilation videos. Small nitpick, but it would really help and wouldn't be that much more work on your end. Thanks for all the content!
Nathan P ya man just taking 3 minutes to google something is really inconvenient huh...
Especially when there’s 10 different collections with roughly 100 playable games...
I was a master at Karate Champ.
You jump over them then do a back kick and it works almost all the time.
Or the full punch give a full point.
Would love to see an analog stick.
Amazing review, and as always...you ROCK😄
ah, midnight resistance on the amiga takes me back.
SUPER DOUBLE DRAGON!
Love that game.
Jason, in your opinion, will we EVER see a Mr. Do compilation again on any system ever again???
Mr.Do is badass! Mr.Dos Castle was great also.
The background music is bad ass MJ but kinda distracting dude, it's because I love it
I say they should have more than one Capcom collection and probably at least one Midway collection.
Agreed!!
They unfortunately make hella money still so I think they won't let it happen.
River City Ransom on a portable, I am sold on that alone. Great review Metal Jesus 🤘
They should a crusing usa, crusing world, and crusing exotic collection.
THIS
I’m really looking forward to the Evercade. I bought a black Evercade, which is a limited edition color available through Funstock. The black units are all sold out, but they do have an all-in bundle that should be mentioned. The all-in bundle includes all the current cartridges except the Technos cartridge, and at this time it retails for $198.01 through Funstock. Being a British site, Funstock prices everything in pounds, so the price will fluctuate quite a bit, but they do international shipping, so you can get the all-in bundle regardless of where you live. You also get a carrying case for buying the all-in bundle, which will cost the same amount as a cartridge if you decide you want one later. I’m glad you asked about the arcade versions, by the way. On the Facebook group they have noted that the Evercade can play arcade roms, but that they are sticking to console ports for now. They didn’t mention that it was because of aspect ratios, though. That’s really nice to know.
What’s up with your boy John Hancock?
If MJR was smart, he would stay away from that subject. People are not happy with John and he literally made it worse with his "apology" video and comment censoring. It's a shame, really. I used to like him and his channel.
@@nintenjoel So... what happened?
@@odinsplaygrounds watch the last few videos from Smash JT.
He has no penis...
@@blitzkrieg1174 MJR is not responsible for anything John Hancock has done so he doesn't need to comment on it. He's doing the smart thing by not addressing it. Wait until the drama has died down then have John in a video again. The internet never forgets but after a while it no longer cares.
For road trips this would be great
Alright finally! I was searching for the most expensive way possible to enjoy these games!
😂🤣😅
I love this channel. Really. I don't get the retro collector mind set sometimes. His comment "the default radio is 4:3 which we prefer since that's view we used to do it." You had no choice back then but you play in 4:3, but then that damn technology change thing happened. You can't always use that excuse though. Let's ride the horse and buggy into town to get some flour from the general store. That's how we used to do things right?

Some retro game consoles automatically stretch the games to 16:9 and it makes the games look very weird and distorted because they were programmed as 4:3. It’s just ugly to stretch these old games out, so 4:3 is the way to go. I’m sure MetalJesus loves the 16:9 ratio of modern games.
This is a good system to get some of the niche games. I do already have 8 Eyes though.
Oh wow! This looks absolutely amazing. I had no idea this was a thing, going to have to probly have this.
The carts are probably just embedded micro-SD chips. I'm still waiting for someone to open up a cart and the handheld itself to see what's inside.
the company themselves opened one up and shown it off on twitter i do believe. let me see if i can find it. here it is. i think it could also just unlock the content on the device itself by putting the cart into it and use that as a pass through to verify you have the content etc but here is the pic twitter.com/evercaderetro/status/1223626305847156737
@@BrotherWells hah!
@@BrotherWells This must be a (mini-)sd card without the usual pin package/housing, the first 8 or 9 pins (same as (mini-)sd) are in use and the other pins are not populated. It looks like the pinout is in opposite direction of a SD-card, so the middle pin (pin 5 - left to right) is VCC. It is quite easy to figure out this pinout with a multimeter. The unused pins are there just for priority or aesthetic reasons or maybe future extensions. This is a very cheap way to make a priority format and very easy to format or 'program', 1 GB is enough to store many games. The question is however, what kind of partitions they use, I quess some linux partition(s) with directories for the games and the savestates. It is possible it is protected or encoded. The only way to be sure it is a SD-card is to figure out the pins, make an adapter and connect it to a computer.
I just downloaded the firmware update with the driver. I take a look at the driver and search the VID and PID and is a HTC Android device! 0x0BB4 0x0C01 HTC Corporation Dream / ADP1 / G1 / Magic / Tattoo / FP1. There is also a credits file that points to androidmtk website. The driver is an ADB driver. The firmware file starts with a RKFWf signature. So it is running a custom version of Android on an eMMC, the cartridge must be a SD card like I noticed before, probably ext-format or FAT-format. I think this device is very easy to hack.
I loved battle cars. It was like F-Zero with Weapons.
Id like to see hard to get legally stuff that the mini's are missing like:
Sega cd/32x games.
TurboGrafx games that are missing from it's mini.
Licensed games like NES and Genesis Batman/Stargate/Star trek games (be nice to have them all in one legal handheld location.)
Never before translated games.
Emulating a game is perfectly legal as long as you own it.
You can dump your own games and even apply translation patches no problem if it's for personal use.
What's illegal is distributing them, or downloading a rom of a game you don't own.
Just buy a used copy off ebay and you can emulate it no problem.
Shendue didn't know that about the translation patches.
Cool.
Is there a commercial friendly MegaDrive emulator that will do MegaCD/32X?
I love retro games and hand held game systems, I'm getting this one.
“This is either madness or brilliance!”
“It’s remarkable how often those two traits coincide.”
I just ordered mine right now. I just want to play the LYNX games again. They were my childhood!
Let me get this straight, the device is called “Evercade” but has all home console versions of the games included.... hmm ok.
This might be worth buying if it was arcade versions instead.
Paul Clinton for $100 for three sets of arcade quality games, heck yeah I would definitely buy one.
Some are arcadish. Still works but I agree with you. I'd prefer the possibility to switch arcade/console.
Brorian SZK don’t get me wrong, it’s still a great deal, but I’d be all in if there was atleast the option of the arcade versions.
@@jmccain22090 I couldn't agree more.
Just ordered mine. Mainly for clayfighter. Havent played that game in what feels 20 years ❤️
Atari games are fun for like 5 minutes. Even PS1 mini offers better value for money.
You sort of have a point.
Eh, I can play space invaders or asteroids all day.
There are some great 2600 games but many are not from Atari themselves.
@@Daz555Daz Same can be said for any first party dev and/or console developer. You could literally copy and paste that, and replace 2600 and atari with Playstation and Sony.
All the Activision 2600 games are still pretty damn fun today.
This is amazing,I really hope this succeeds. I live how game boxes look
