EverDrive 64

all sold out glad i got mine

 

Just looked at this thread a few hours earlier and saw they were in stock so I've ordered one - looks like I just got in in time! :thumbsup:

I love using this forum as a warning for availability!

 

One day there will be plenty of them. That's soon enough.

 

right. i have flashram implementation, but it not work in real games by some reasons. if i will fix it in some day, then flashram support will come via firmware update

 

what is a usb blaster? will you or someone post directions and a parts list if/when you update the ED64's firmware?

do you see a firmware upgrade coming out for any reason? from what I can tell it works flawlessly so far?

I also wonder if you will add the same kind of OS utils and commands like you have on the everdrive md? plugins, sd formatting, save game manipulation, perhaps built in gameshark codes, etc?

 

here is usb blaster
don't know about cheats, but other functions just unuseful for ed64

 

flashram support will require firmware upgrade if he can fix it (hope he can )

 

Argh how long must you make me wait til I can order one of these...

 

i stayed up until 3 am watching and waiting to get mine he said the next batch should be coming through soon so just keep an eye out for it

 

it sounds like he is ordering larger batches of PCBs now, so shortage should not remain very long

 

i already have a tons of pcb, but need time to assemble them plus my wife was in travel, so all postage work also was on me. but now my wife is back and my friend will help me to build ed64 carts

 

@Krikzz

Might be a bit off topic but:
Your carts look like they were factory made (Pick-and-Place Robot, Offsetprint-solder, oven and all that.) When you say you assemble them at home do you have your own fab? Or do you mean you prepare the plastic casings and such?

Just curious :thumbsup:

 

all parts soldered at home. i use cheap chinese rework station like this

 

Seriously?
I do quite some soldering myself but your SMD work really looks fab/robot made.
Quite impressive...

 

SMD isnt all that hard - just takes practice.

Its even easier if you can make a stencil, which KRIKzz can as he has the design files for the boards. Solder paste + stencil = professional results that are quite quick.

Parts will self align too (within reason) as the solder melts.

it is true. i prefer to use small soldering iron instead of soldering stove

 

would it be possible to have a fully DIY ever drive where we receive all the components but we have to solder ourselves with 110% NO warranty?

also i wonder how much it would cost to buy a used liquid solder station from an old PCB manufacture im sure alot of people here in the community would pitch in to get you a liquid solder station :nod:

 

not think so

soldering stove is not expensive, i just more like to use small solder

 

ah i see the love and quality that goes into each and every part you know its correctly assembled

 

Can the NTSC versions run Japanese games?
