hey Krikzz, since the master everdrive and the gamegear everdrive are done, what is your next project ? )
I'm not sure what you mean by the hoarding mentality but I do agree with your point that if you just flop the entire NES library on your PowerPAK, a huge majority of it is crap. But there are enough good games worth your time that easily would add up to many times more than the cost of a PowerPAK. It's just key that if you use a PowerPAK to only put games worth your time on it or just delete games as you try them and discover they suck.
Maybe Krikzz could achieve the unthinkable, and create a Super Game Gear, where you play Game Gear games on a Genesis or 32X?
A very few game gear games are actually Master system games inside a game gear cartridge (Prince of persia/Castle of illusion for example) They should work on Master system with no conversion at all (actually useless, better use the original master system game). And some people managed to run some game gear only games on master system, but colors are wrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83E-PHWJ7ZA EDIT: something interesting I just found: http://disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/segahacking/gg2sms.html
http://tails92.sepwich.com/files/games/sdrift2_sms_b2.zip I made this Sonic Drift 2 "port" to the Master System two years ago. The game is completely playable except for the pause button if I'm not mistaken and works on real consoles. There are some graphical glitches but they are unimportant. If you search on the internet there should be an unofficial conversion of Sonic Triple Trouble to the Master System as well, but for the moment I can't remember where to find it.
I posed this question on another forum, but let's say for a moment that you had a "Super Game Boy" concept/case, where you pulled hardware off a Game Gear. So you put the GG game into that, and then wanted to put that thing into another SEGA system....Which would you use? SMS, Genesis, 32X? Are any even possible? You'd be passing (re-mapped) controller input back and forth, and audio/video from the GG to the base unit for display. Would it have to be the 32X due to palette? Would there be CPU clock differences? tails92, you're Sonic Drift works! Great job. however, the Sonic Triple Trouble GG to SMS hack doesn't work, it freezes at the SEGA screen. Of the Chris Covell conversions, Berlin no Kabe works (Reset/Pause don't function), Frogger won't load, Pac-Man works, Pop Breaker won't load, and Power Strike II works (uses Pause as Start).
i would really like to see a gameboy color everdrive with micro sd like one guy said , it should be relatively easy cause there isn't much if any piracy protection.
about the plastic molding being rather expensive to do there is a way around that you could vacu-form the cases they will likely be thiner then the originals but at least it would get the job done just gotta have the correct dimensions hell it would work out fantastically for a neo geo hue card case
Atari Jaguar needs an Everdrive terribly. There are just way to many incredibly expensive rare titles and homebrew/independent releases for it not to have one.
Well someone is working on a Jaguar cart all ready. http://www.jagcf.org/item.php?iden=jagcf This was posted by the author a while ago. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topi...e-jagcf-cart/page__view__findpost__p__2225616
Yeah, I saw that. As I've bought three everdrives from Krikzz already, I'd prefer to stick with him. Plus, I don't know how he does it, but the everdrives are much more affordable.
Yeah I'm definitely pleased with my Super Everdrive so far and can understand wanting that same quality consitently across systems. I would love to see him cover systems that don't have good flash cart options. Although Krikzz all ready seems to have plans on what he wants to do next. Also as with many systems I'm willing to bet that an Atari Jaguar would be hard to come by in Ukraine.
I wouldn't mind seeing a final update of the Megadrive cart hardware where you have the card slot on the left, a firmware updating USB in the middle and a pause button on the right. Probably wouldn't get one unless there was a massive update in the firmware software because I already have the most current model so far but I think it's more than doable for a newer model. This idea was due to the rest of the ED's having a USB port for doing the firmware which means no need for that stupid hardware flasher thing. For it to work on one of these though the USB must be squeezed in the middle.
Uhm, as far as I know the USB port doesn't do firmware flashing.. it can be used to load OS updates however..
You are correct. This is a common misconception. The only real advantage the USB gives over non-USB is if you are developing a home-brew for the system. I agree it would be cool to be able to flash FW with USB, but my guess is that would require more expensive hardware.
firmware at this point is about finished for most of the ED's, which is a good thing. I don't think it's technically possible, but I'd love to have the MD Everdrive reset back to the menu like the Super.
I suggest, Everdrive.For Amstrad gx4000 console and amstrad plus range computers. The cartridge that uses this console/computers.I'ts vert simple,is composed by 2 chips.An eeprom. And a acid chip.(Amstrad cartrige identificacion device). The acid chip,now is reversed engined(open source verilog),So is posible build a cartridge. So a cartridge with sd support,is a dream. :love2:
