Monster World IV uses SRAM, are you sure you have it on? Go to toolbox to check.

Okay, I just checked my Everdrive options.

For SMD SRAM it lets me choose "OFF" or "Auto". Auto is selected. Further down there is an option for SRAM bank on the same screen. It lets me select 0,1,2,3. It is currently set for 0.

Do I need to manually change the SRAM bank for each game that saves? If this is the case I am assuming that you are limited to only 4 separate save game files.

You can save each Sram bank to *.sram* files on youryour SD card and load them for use later. So , no , you are not limited to four saves.

The above post may be a bit too short :P

The thing is , each game with save function use one SRAM BANK. So when you are on "SRAM bank 0" , then you save your game , Brave Battle Saga , that particular save would occupied SRAM bank 0.

Now if you want to play another game with save function you have to change to other SRAM bank so your Brave Battle Saga's sram won't be overwriten.

And *IF* you want to use that "SRAM bank 0" for other games but also want to keep Brave Battle Saga save for later. You need to save "SRAM bank 0" into your SD card by using "save/load to SD" function in tool box menu.


Hope that clear some stuffs up.

Thanks a ton! That actually cleared up everything I needed to know... at least for now . I wish the Everdrive had come with an instruction manual because I have little to no experience with these types of things, but thanks to you guys I'm making progress.

I'm gonna restart both games later this weekend and hopefully this will take care of the problem.

Krikzz has been making so many changes, it's been tough to keep up with documentation. Plus he's not great with English.

Speaking of updates, Game Genie Codes are now available via OS update #17.
I haven't tried it to describe the menu changes, but you can either load the codes from a text file (probably vertically arranged) or enter them. Text file 512Byte or less.

Nice!

Can it save game save data? Like Phantasy Star, Miracle Warriors, etc?

[Greg2600]

Yes, save data is supported like all other EverDrive's. Plays SG-1000, too.

What's the benefit over the genesis version?

What's the benefit over the genesis version?

It's for the Master System.

If you have a JVC X'Eye, the Genesis Everdrive will not play SMS games. Also, if you have FM sound on your SMS, the SMS Everdrive is better in that regard. It also allows SG-1000 games to be played on a US SMS. I got one immediately and I love it.

[Greg2600]

Can't use 3D games (if you have the glasses and adapter) on Genesis, and a couple SMS games don't work, and SG-1000.

[c0ldb33r]

I wonder when we can expect an n64 everdrive.

Right after the PC Engine Everdrive

Oh good call. That'd be awesome.

[Greg2600]

Probably several months. Given the long development that others have had for N64 devices, I'd be very surprised he can do it quickly.

Game Gear ED's are about ready, he got the PCB's delivered. Krikzz might finish the Gameboy/GBC ED next.

[Leo_A]

So he's doing a N64 device?

I thought he was just intrigued by the possibility when I was reading the forum he post at a while back after someone told him how to get around the N64's lockout devices various carts had, or something to that effect?

[Greg2600]

From his forum 2 weeks ago

guys, try to guess what is it (:
hint: first leter E, last leter also e. E.......e proto...

[Leo_A]

Yep, I just read it.

My thoughts exactly.

This guy is truly awesome. His work output is very impressive, especially if he is doing this stuff solo. I'll buy pretty much anything he designs that I could put to use.

Any idea why threads aren't allowed to be viewed in the Nintendo forum over there? I seem to be able to access everything else.

Even made a account, but it's been hours and still no automated email approval message with a link to activate my account.

Edit - Finally showed up, wonder why they made one forum require a log in to view, seemingly out of random.

Now that several decent N64 flashcards seem to finally be on the way, someone needs to hack F-Zero X one of these days. Would be nice to get the N64 DD exclusive tracks and songs in the game.

And a peak at Space Station Silicon Valley to see if the crash bug with an expansion pack installed could easily be fixed would be nice.

[StoneAgeGamer]

Its coming...

[c0ldb33r]

wow. Right on.

Great, now I need a way to play game gear games that doesn't suck. I have a hard time with the old GG screen.

I am really surprised with how quickly these products are coming out. It really is a wonderful time to be a retro gamer

Wow, I haven't been following things lately, didn't know Krikzz was developing a TG-16 Everdrive now. That's only good for cartridge-based games right?
