    Edit: the few times it reaches around 50% and I tick "verify" option, I get errors and the cart doesn't work.

    Yeah sounds like there may be problem then. You're right verify is probably the 50% to 100% jump I am seeing.

    Krikzz finally updated correctly my Everdrive 64 (THANK YOU!) and it works properly. Now I have a problem with Donkey Kong 64. The thing is that even though I'm on OS64 1.11 and firmware 1.12 (checked on the menu screen of Everdrive 64), DK 64 game saves seem to get corrupted. I mean that I can play and even save the game. If I switch off and on the console and play DK64, there's no problem but if I play another game and after that I try to continue DK64 game, all DK64 game saves look to be empty. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Do I have to use "Donkey Kong 64 (E) [f1] (Boot&Save)" and force SRAM save always but when I use yellow up button?

    you should force sram once, then loading by yellow button will remember your choice

    Ok, Krikzz but do I have to use a hacked rom like "Donkey Kong 64 (E) [f1] (Boot&Save)" or can I instead use the normal one? One more question, after playing another game (not DK64) if I forgot to force SRAM save with DK64, what would Everdrive 64 do? Would it overwrite the old game save even though save types (SRAM and EEP16K) are different or would it create a new (corrupted) game save? I ask it because I wouldn't like to loose a game save by mistake! Thanks in advance.

    you should use hacked rom. ed64 use separated files for each type of save memory, so your sram file will not be overwritten by eeprom or some other save. almost impossible to lost your data
