    Do you have the OS on your SD card?

    CIC-NUS-6102

    9904 F


    Does the OS64.v64 just go in the main folder of the SD card? I tried doing that and still nothing. When I turn on the N64, the green light and red light turn on the everdrive and stay on

    The cart boots even without an SD card inserted. Be certain all the joint on the CIC are good joints, not cold joints. Hopefully you protected other areas of the PCB while soldering. You only want to heat up the area you were working on. It's also possible you damaged the CIC but not the rest of the ED64. If you can post high resolution photos someone might be able to spot it if you damaged something or have a bad/cold solder joint.

    Please e-mail return{at}stoneagegamer{dot}com and we can swap it out. You can leave 6102 in there we will just swap with another with 6102 installed.

    I really appreciate that, but I want to make sure it wasn't something that I did to the board. I couldn't in good faith trade it out if I caused the damage myself. I will try to get some hi-res pics posted up soon

    I think there are very small number of us who got broken ED64. Mine was doa, but krikzz replaced it without hassle. At first I was also sure that I had soldered something wrong, then I bought new N64 and last cleaned everything in cartridge ports in both consoles, nothing helpped :)

    Like someone said, you should see picture without sd-card inserted.

    The new N64 was anyway in my shopping list, I wanted French model. It is now RGB modded and I'm very happy with it and ED64!

    I think,this is not true..
    nin64 game can switch the refresh rate..
    -NTSC games will run at 60Hz on an PAL system
    -PAL games will run at 50Hz on an NTSC system

    I have been having no end of trouble with my Everdrive 64

    If I put it in the N64 with no SD card it comes up with a blue screen saying you need OS64.

    If I put it in the N64 with an SD card and OS64 in the wrong directory I get the blue screen again.

    If I put it in the N64 with OS64 in the root/ED64 directory I get a black screen.

    I have tried 3 SD cards formatted with the Panasonic SD card formatter. One was 4 GB and was in FAT32 format. Another was 1GB and I tried both FAT16 and FAT32. The last one was 512MB and was formatted to FAT16. The 1GB SD card works perfectly on my Super Everdrive and Everdrive MD.

    I am using a 6102 CIC from the game "Mission Impossible"

    I have tried this on two NTSC N64 consoles. One was a Pikachu model with a NUS 09-1 motherboard. The other was a non RGB modded NUS 03 motherboard. Both use first party expansion packs.

    The unit is the 1.01 revision and was bought from Retrogate. It has firmware 1.12 and I have tried OS64 1.12 and 1.13.

    I screwed up pretty badly when I soldered in the CIC chip, but it does boot with no SD card or OS64 in the wrong directory so I don't think that's the problem.

    Is it time to try a fourth SD card or should it be sent to Krikzz?

    black screen with sd card mean that cart can't load os into sdram. blue menu loads from bios chip but sdram don't work. look closely into 48LC32 chip, if there all ok, may be piece if solder alloy is fall on pins. if you can't fix, then send to me and i will fix it

    I've just looked at all the pins on the 48LC32 chip under a magnifying glass and found no solder. When I first got the ED64 I accidentally put it in the console back to front. Is it possible that I let 12 volts get into the wrong place? PM me with your address and I'll head to the post office first thing tomorrow.

    12v exactly on the middle, so 12v pin will hit in right plase in any case

    I took my everdrive 64 to a friend's place and it didn't work (both LEDs on). It seems to be due to bad contacts (a dusty N64 console). Everdrive seems to be quite sensitive to bad contacts because all of his other games seemed to work fine.

    I sent the Everdrive today. Is it unsafe to send items around the Christmas period? I've been thinking with the huge amount of mail sent at this time there might be an increased risk of the item being lost.
