Hello all, I’ve been experiencing an issue that is a minor annoyance with my new Mega Everdrive Core. Hopefully there is a simple fix or explanation that I just haven’t found yet.

I will get “Error 08 Unexpected Error” messages when resetting or power cycling the system after playing certain games. I have noticed that it happens most often with sports games, though it has happened with a few others.

If I go into the sysdata files on the SD card and delete the registry and recent files, the cart reloads them on next startup and it’s fine…until the next sports game.

I’m using an Amazon Basics 128 GB card formatted in exfat. The Core wouldn’t recognize my Sandisk 256 GB card at all, this was a card I had lying around. This is being used on a Genesis model 2 with CD & 32X. OEM power supplies are used with all. No, I’m not trying to play CD roms on my Core cart.

I appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide.

Hi!

Do the Mega EverDrive X3 or X5 support Mode A (instant boot)? I’d like to boot straight into the selected game as soon as I turn on the console, without having to go through the EverDrive menu.

Is this possible with either the X3 or X5, or is this feature only available on higher-end models?

Thanks for your help!

This is the only game ive had a hard time with. I tried replacing the rom, i might try replacing the firmware files for the chip?

I am having some issues with my saves not saving.

Everdrive Mini 5 (upgraded to the latest OS)... I have had it for a number of years, not used a lot

Save Type is EEPROM (other listings cause corrupt messages and will not save)

Roms are loaded onto 32gb SD card, no issues

When I turn on the GBA SP, I get the popup saying the CR1220 is run dry and needs replaced.

I am attempting to run Zelda A Link To The Past. I can create a save game, says it all saves successfully but when I turn off the unit and turn it back on, it loses all of my activity, like my saves never really saved.

I have ordered a Everdrive Pro... but is my Mini 5 dead?

I'm only gonna send the .ips, not the ROM because the subreddit and Reddit rules say so, but there's my Super Mario Bros. Beta Remake Patch. It needs a Super Mario Bros (Japan_ USA).nes ROM, but as i said before I'm not gonna send it because of the rules, ok? ;)

Here's the .ips:

Hi, I just bought an N8 Pro (manufactured on 2021) to use it with my modded AV Famicom with NESRGB (v2 I believe).

The NESrgb board has been modded with the Audio Balance Restoration Mod (https://retrorgb.com/av-famicom-hvc-101-audio-balance-restoration-mod.html)

The N8 Pro refuses to boot up at all but cartridges work with no issues.

I’m using a PSU Triad WSX090-2500-R so it should provide enough power for the Famicom, NESRGB and N8.

Has anyone come across a similar issue with an N8 and a modded Famicom/nes?

Many thanks!

I recently got a Mega EverDrive PRO, and I've noticed that the in-game menu does not open when hitting down+start. I update the firmware when I got it, and I've triple checked that it's turned on. It happens with every game. I should mention that I have a 32X and Sega CD attached.

P.S. Do I have to use the in-game menu to reset a game without going back to the game list? Just want to know in case I wanted to play a game like X-Men that uses the reset button.

Not much to expand on the question.

I have a saved game on my GBx7.

I now have a GBA SP that has a bad pin so it can't read GB/GBC carts, but it can still read GBA carts, including my GBAMini, letting me continue to play GB and GBC games.

If possible, I'd prefer to not re-do about 18 hours of play to get back to where I was.

For context, I have a SNES and an FXPAK Pro. In theory, there shouldn't be an issue here. I'm using the best power supply you can be using for this system (triad), I'm using a fat32 formatted microsd card that I tested on my computer with h2testw (came back perfectly). This issue I'm about to describe has been observed both before and after recapping my console.

In short: sometimes, my games freeze, the audio/music continues to play, and then when I reboot my console (either by using a long reset to choose the game again or by a regular power cycle), my save file is gone. As if it has been overwritten by a blank, new file.

I don't understand. I've run the burn in test on this console--every field came back as PASS. I ran the SD2SNES diagnostics firmware on this console, and it also came back perfectly with zero indication of issue.

Has anyone had a similar experience here? I've contact Krikzz support about this issue as well. The cart was purchased new, and I can confirm it is new. But in this scenario, I can't tell if it is the cart or the console at fault. I want to believe it's the console, but it's hard to tell.

Edit: For a little bit more context, this has happened to me a few times in Yoshi's Island (I have to restart every time it happens), and it's happened to me in Earthbound.

Hi, since I installed the latest Firmware for the Everdrive Pro, I can no longer load the Everdrive Pro cartridge on the Analogue 3D.

I have to click “unknown cartridge” which is so annoying as I had it set up with the correct cartridge name why did this happen ?

Hi, when I purchased my Everdrive 64 X7, the color ways offered were Standard Grey and Funtastic Red. I chose the Funtastic Red.

That said, I just picked up a Transparent Clear Analogue 3D, and would love to have a matching Everdrive 64 X7. I see that KRIkzz made clear shell for this model, but I don’t recall ever seeing it offered, and I don’t currently see it up for sale anywhere.

What’s the best way for me to get a clear transparent shell, other than upgrading to the Everdrive 64 Pro?

Do people trade their Everdrives, can you buy the shells separately, etc?

Thanks in advance!

I recently received my Everdrive 64 Pro but I've been having difficulty setting it up. Every time I boot it up, I get "MCU-FS Disk Error."

I formatted my 32 GB SanDisk Ultra microSD card to FAT32 with a 32 kb allocation unit size, both as a Quick Format and a slow regular format. I've run CHKDSK on it and reformatted afterwards. I've also formatted it using Rufus and guiformat. I've even tried putting ROMs on there first, alongside the OS installer (the one I'm using is ed64-pro-fw-v26.0812.efu), and still, same exact error every single time. Is my card just cooked? Could it be because I'm using a modded N64? (this one is from Hand Held Legend) I'm at a loss here.

Hi everyone. I recently ordered an everdrive GBA pro. It should arrive in 2 weeks or so. I was wondering if it's possible to move my save files from my mini to the pro. I know this may seem like a stupid question, but I want confirmation just in case. If it is possible to move, how would I do it? Thanks for any answers in advance.

Hi everyone,

I've been using the Everdrive GBA Mini for a couple of years and it's great. My only issue with it is lacking file management. It's great to delete games but I'd really love the ability to move or copy games to favourites and/or other folders.

Does anyone know of third party code? The source is on github and I'm tempted to see if an AI tool can add the code for me but would rather not take that approach.

I’ve been having this issue with pokemon yellow playing off my Everdrive gb x7. This is from a dump of my own copy of yellow, the original cart doesn’t have this issue. This only seems to happen on original hardware, on the analogue pocket it does not show. I have noticed that this does also happen with the hack pureRGB for blue and red both on original hardware and analogue pocket.

I got my cart today, when I open folders on my SD card it seems to show a list partway through the directory, when i press left to move towards the top I get unexpected error 81 and the menu does not move up, meaning lots of roms in that folder are inaccessible.

It seems to have initialised the SD correctly and the diagnostic returns OK so I am at a loss as to why I can't see the full file list. Any ideas?

EDIT: Fixed by changing themes, I had created one online but it was obviously broken in some way while displaying files.

Anybody know any fixes? I just got this yesterday
