Yep, and that's a good thing. This new N64 development is very much wanted and looks really promising. Keep up the good work KRIKzz.
How much we looking at for the N64 Everdrive? And is there any way we can help to have a PCE/TG16 Everdrive in the future? I decided not to get any flashcarts for any retro console unless it's an Everdrive!:thumbsup:
When will we see PS1/Saturn/Dreamcast Everdrives? Someone is already working on a superior N64 device so I don't see the point in covering old ground.
What a nonsense. It's always good to have a choice. Or would you like to drive in the same car as everybody else? No, of course you don't!
Apologies, but this is the strangest post i've ever read here . You do realise that the consoles you have mentioned all use CD media?
WMD mentioned it in the other 64 flash cart drive that he would like to see optical disc emulators for some of these older systems. similar to the wode. I imagine someone very dedicated creating a chip that plugs into the cdrom port of say your sega saturn that you will then be able to plug in either a usb hard drive or an sd card into. That will transfer the isos to the system in the way that the system expects. Would be cool but I imagine it would be a ton of work.
It is not a question of expenses for media, but ease of use and mobility. If you are making a portable out of a PSone with a flash drive it can be tiny. Also if you don't have to change discs, well, you get the idea.
I think someone got a hard drive working on the Dreamcast a long time ago. It connected through the modem IO port if I remember right. It was just a prototype, not meant to be a "product" and I'm sure it didn't load full games. Linux use only. This might be it, but I think there was something else..... http://www.dreamcastbr.com/category/especial-casemod/ One step at a time. The current Everdrives are fantastic, and its great to see KRIKzz working one a newer project for N64, but CD/GD emulation "boxes" would be a much bigger step.
Emulating a the whole cd system would definitely be a pain. It would be definitely be cool but who knows if it would even be cost effective. Who wants to pay $150 for a PSX optical disc emulator? That's what i thought
Given that my PS1 collection is worth somewhere in the region of $1500+ I'd be more than willing to pay $500 for such a device. Mostly for convenience, partly because I hate optical discs.
If the 64drive is released first, then much of the market for such a device will be gone. If I was doing this for profit, I'd be working on something that nobody else is working on. Besides, there are a hell of a lot more PS1s out there than N64s.
that's reasonable but every one do what they choice, by now I think Krikzz is only into flashcarts devices
There have been many flash carts prior to the Everdrive on both Megadrive and SNES yet KRIKzz has managed to make a profit. Regardless, many people are excited to see his N64 flash cart, if you aren't then perhaps this isn't the thread for you.
oh really? neo myth md was released a year or more befor everdrive md, but it is not a problem, or super power pack... some CD controllers already created by the way. for example SD controller for dreamcast and IDE for 3DO systems. but i personally not very like this idea because i just can use natural method - CD-R disk
