Need some free time to test it but well done !:clap:

[eugene19]

As always, thanks and good job on the update!
Is the fix for Chaotix saving issue been done, or is it still being worked on for a future update?

[raylyd]

Wow these updates are fast mate krikzz is fast.

[gunaska]

It's really a useful function,good job!

try this rom http://krikzz.com/pub/ex/Archive.7z

[BM-Viper]

Am I correct in thinking that you flash the rom, then enter and apply the gg codes?

[KRIKzz]

yes, you right

[schnuth]

I haven't been able to find a region hacked version of Alien Soldier, but using the Game Genie region unlock code works like a charm. Great update, I appreciate all your hard work! I absolutely love my Everdrive. :)

When the patch(RomName.txt) processing can be selected when ROM is written, it is good.

I just attempted to update the OS, using the OS 17 bin file and the OS update bin file, and now the Everdrive doesn't work. The original menu doesn't come up anymore; it just goes to the ROM folders. I go into a folder, select a game, and it says ERROR: Incorrect File Size. What happened, and how do I fix it?

[KRIKzz]

i gues that you see OS repair menu. just select OS file and OS will be instaled. guys, don't use update-os-mod.bin for OS update, it is old crap. OS already have update function in toolbox. i will remove update-os-mod.bin from my server just now

[WaverBoy]

Couldn't get to the repair menu. Only the screen with the file folders would come up. So, I used the update-os-mod.bin file to reinstall OS 15, and somehow I got the menu to come back; I'm not sure how exactly. So now everything is as it was before I did the OS update, thankfully! I'll try updating again using the update function. Thanks!

[KRIKzz]

you seen exactly repair menu. you can't select game rom file, but you can choice OS file or some module file and it will be instaled as OS (:

[WaverBoy]

I reinstalled OS 17 using the update function and everything works great now. Looking forward to trying out some Game Genie codes. Thanks for the continued updates to this fantastic product of yours, which apparently sells out faster than you can make it, and for good reason! I'm just glad I've got mine!!

[roycole]

Will there be an action replay code system for sega master system games? This device is super hard to find and it would be cool to use on Everdrive for sms games.

[KRIKzz]

currently i have not plans to implement some other codes

[eugene19]

Hi Krikzz,
I must have somehow missed your post,
I just tried out the Chaotix and saving works!!!
Thank you very much.
For future reference, can you share with us what sort of fix you did to the rom??
If its something not suitable to post you can PM me also.

[roycole]

Hey Krikzz a couple questions for you. I ordered a everdrive from retrogate store out of Germany . Are these updated with newest updates?(game genie support) im still awaiting its arrival, and from pic on site i didnt see a pause button for sms function. Also do you have any plans to do a nes version of everdrive, or a n64? I thought about ordering the powerpak from retrozone for nes. thanks

Oh very easy, I should have thought of that :redface:
Thanks again, KRIKzz :-)

[roycole]

Thatll be a blast if you put out a n64, im gonna order super everdrive next.

[roycole]

Hey Krikzz just wondering will you implement a game genie support later for super everdrive? Just wanted let you know your products are amazing and your a god send to the retrogaming community thanks.

[KRIKzz]

yes, i have plane to implement GG codes for snes cart

[roycole]

hello Krikzz, just wondering if super everdrive could be updated later to play nes roms like the genesis everdrive does with sega master system games. Thanks

[KRIKzz]

no, it is impossible

[roycole]

Ok thanks Krikzz, do you think the powerpak from retrozone is a good product?

[BM-Viper]

I got one about a week ago, so far I like it pretty well. It does have some quirks though. It is incredibly picky about headers on games, if they're bad in any way it will refuse to load it. So that can be annoying, 'cause then i have to find one that it likes in the romset. Also, the interface is fairly odd (i.e. to save a game you have to hold the reset button for 3sec, it doesn't create saves on its own so you have to supply blanks, etc...). Other than that though it's been great, hopefully mmc5 support comes out soon.

I own both the NES and SNES Powerpaks and I believe both products are awesome. The only problem that I have with them is the way it saves games. Like Viper mentioned. I have had no issues with compatibilty at all. I think there is a total of 20 games that don't work on the NES one due to it not supporting these mappers YET. The SNES one has about 28 games and this is due to the special graphics chips. It DOES support DSP1 so the compatibility is higher than all other SNES flash carts. I haven't tried Krikzz's SNES cart so I do not know how it compares.

[aleomark]

snes powerpak is more compatible but only by one more game than snes neo myth (uncompressed version of star ocean) cause both can boot dsp1 games, and the same is going to happen with snes everdrive when dsp1 games get supported

[KRIKzz]

Ok thanks Krikzz, do you think the powerpak from retrozone is a good product?

i think that retrozone stuff is good. i even thinking about NES powerpack purchase for myself

Aleomark: I am not familiar with the Neo Myth stuff and wasn't aware that they support Dsp1. Nice.

[roycole]

Thanks everyone for answering my questions on the powerpak products.

[TEOL]

Retrozone stuff is good but the custom fees are high for European countrys especially the UK and countrys to the East of it. It depends on if you are willing to run the risk and hope the fee doesn't happen to you.

[roycole]

Everdrive came in, i formatted it, an am looking forward it is an amazing product i am extremally impressed and looking forward to getting super everdrive! Got my doner case from a retrogame store in used game bin for a $1.00 and modified that for sd cart turned out great! All updates as krikzz stated !!!!!!

[Bootay]

Yes the Everdrive is a very nice product.

[roycole]

Found another flash cart on internet , would you believe its for the atari 2600 called an atari harmony, i thought this was preety cool it uses sd card like the everdrive, and plays in original hardware and can hold entire librairy of 2600 games. This takes us back way old school! Thought id pass info along. Theres some video on you tube and a search will take you to web site.

Yes. I ordered a Harmony cart. Looks nice. Can't wait to try it. The ColecoVision Ultimate SD cart is nice too.

[ceramiclion]

I for one can't wait for FM chip support. That's be awesome!

[roycole]

Cool info, didnt know about colecovision, like the idea of developers like krikzz and others keeping our old school systems alive and introducing these to younger generations showing them where there ps3,s ,wiis ,and 360,s came from!!!!!

[roycole]

Hey Krikzz , i entered game genie code, than when i go to load game genie code , it takes me to my rom. I choose rom but than my game genie code i entered isnt there anymore, i re enter it says it patches rom but it does nothing.

[KRIKzz]

how to use GG
1) burn your rom
2) go to GG code menu, enter or load codes from file
3)rom patching...
4)done! now you can start game

[roycole]

I have all roms on my sd card, by burn do you mean start game?

[roycole]

...i have a lot of roms on my sd card, from genesis to sega master games, tried the gg codes on my genesis games i get the gg screen , after entering codes it says it patches rom but doesnt go directly to game, than when i go back to gg screen codes not there that i intered

[KRIKzz]

gg patches not touch rom file on sd card, they touch flash memory where writen your game.
why you just can't do as i say? you will take result.
after patching gg codes stay in rom memory until next game will be writen

[Bootay]

roycole:
What Krikzz means is.

Select the game and when it is done flashing do NOT start the game yet, but go to the GG menu and enter code. THEN start game.

[roycole]

Thats just it when i select game ,rom flashes and the game starts up, so im unable to go to gg menu and enter code

[KRIKzz]

Thats just it when i select game ,rom flashes and the game starts up, so im unable to go to gg menu and enter code

it is does not matter, just power off system your system after flashing for return in menu for enter gg codes.
try try try! and questions will no need anymore (;

[roycole]

Okay Krikzz i think i figured whats going on, i tried another rom batman revenge of the joker and game genie code worked! The previous rom i played was greatest heavyweights that the codes wouldnt work with, also i noticed on this rom prior to using game genie codes that when you play in career mode after you reflash game all your stats are gone so unsure if career mode is savable, i read online that some ea sports games are playable but stats you cant save. Also i converted some smd files to bin files previously with your smd to bin file tool these roms play fine when you just play game . Than say when you turn off game, turn back on enter game genie codes ,rom patch then play game you get a red screen so i know there trying to go through im gonna look for bin versions of those roms which were ghouls n ghosts, and castlevania bloodlines. Thanks to you and Bootay for answering my questions i know it works now!!!

[KRIKzz]

red screens after gg usage is mean that game do self chech and if some changes detected, then game go to red screen. usually list of gg codes for games which do self check should contain "master code" for dissable check

[roycole]

ok thanks krikzz, was i right about some sports games unable to save career or user stats?

[KRIKzz]

ok thanks krikzz, was i right about some sports games unable to save career or user stats?

right

[Bboydocument]

Hmm I seem to get the red screen problem with Golden Axe - no codes will work.

Is there supposed to be a master code to bypass this?

[KRIKzz]

any game whish show reed screen should have master code for dissable self check

[Bboydocument]

Thanks Krikzz.

Yeah so it needs a master code. I have looked ALL over the net for the master code and haven't found one.

If someone knows the master code for Golden Axe, please share! I believe most of the codes assume that you start the game with the GG off, then once in game you switch the GG on.

[Bboydocument]

Hey guys,

I just hacked Golden Axe to find the master code.
The checksum is performed with:
00:0BF0 67 24 BEQ #$24 [00:0C16]

Need to change branch instruction from 67 24 to 60 24

Used hex (000bf0:6024) to gg conversion tool to find master code.

Golden Axe Master code is: ETFT AA9T :D

[paradoxsm]

Hi KRIKzz, Is there any possibility of PAR (Pro Action Replay) codes being supported in a future OS of the SMS Everdrive?

The physical PAR units are incredibly hard to come by and some fun results can be had with some "home generated" codes ;-)

Thanks.



If this has already been requested, please excuse me for asking.
I did google it "Site:assemblergames.com "Everdrive for SMS" Pro Action replay" and had no hits apart from a request for the MD unit earlier in this thread.

[KRIKzz]

no, only gg. i never used any codes or cheats or hacks in games, so codes implementation is is so boring thing for me (: gg codes for some of my carts it is all what i could offer
