Place your Bets! Guess what the next Everdrive will be....

can't wait

 

Ahhhh I'm both happy and sad. Happy because of better MD cart and sad because of no decent PC Engine cart being made...

 

Is it possible to implement the entire 32x into the everdrive?

Like loading 32x games without the 32x?
Or even loading sega cd games from the SD card to improve loading times?

 

Dude , you play Mortal Kombat like a pro.

 

The 32X has processor chips inside (and more). I don't see how what you're asking could be possible.

Same thing stands fot the Mega CD. It has additional hardware which upgrades the capabilities of the main console. Its not just a cd drive.

 

MK3 is a one of my most favorite games. nobody of my friends can not beat me
StarCraft BW and MK3 took a lot of time in my life.

about 32x and sega cd
32x implementation in fpga is possible, but on the practic it will be pretty hard to made, so i have no any plans to try to do something like that
about mage cd: full cd unit emulation almost impossible, but may be possible to made a modiffied cd bios which can redirect cd requast to sd card, but i not surre because i don't know a lot about mega cd architecture

 

what i would really want to do with new mega everdrive, it is a ability to play some games via internet. MK3 for example

 

A RJ45 in the back of the cartridge for internet connection?

 

Holy crap that is so awesome! Though unfortunately now I have to postpone my MD Everdrive purchase... OH:

 

veggav usb + laptop or pc for internet connection
MaZa anyway current cart will not be available in this year, and will be a cheap, by the way

 

The Mega EverDrive will be a lot more money than current EverDrive-MD. We will continue to sell the EverDrive-MD a long with the Mega EverDrive.

The Mega EverDrive is suppose to be ultimate over the top hardcore solution for the Genesis/MD.

That's not to say you shouldn't wait, but if you think this is a different product than the EverDrive-MD.

 

How much more expensive? Like twice the price of the regular everdrive MD or will it be even more?

 

currently i don't know the price, may be final boards and parts will be changed a lot, but i pretty sure that it will be cost more than 100 usd. probably between 100-150 for board only version

 

mega EverDrive

 

Will it have the FM chip for Sega Master System games?

 

no, but i have plan to implement fm chip in fpga

 

Cyclone II?

Is this only for testing purposes or are you aiming so high? :drool:

 

That's good news. The sms fm mod is expensive... Maybe this circuit's idea can be adapted to master everdrive later.

 

yah, final version also will be use cyclone 2.

by the ways, genesis cpu can reload cyclone firmware from sd, so jtag not need for firmware update any more. also this feature give the chance to build such things like emulators - OS can load software core to rom memory and hardware core into fpga, so custom application can use own firmware and all hardware resources of cart :033:

 

God bless you!
