EverDrive 64 v2

[exdeath]

So your saying you solder in surface mount components on your own? As an inexperienced console modder may I ask where or how did you learn to solder?

It's not as bad as it looks. At those densities you don't worry about individual pins or bridges anymore, you just use lots and lots and lots of flux, draw the iron in a straight line over all the pins, and wick up any bridges.

[exdeath]

You have the MAX II set up as a device programmer for the FPGA? Or dedicated configuration device? I can't tell if that's what the small chip next to the SD slot is or not.

[KRIKzz]

max2 helps to load bios, then bios code load firmware from sd card and send to fpga via max2. so max2 is multi purpose

Yeah. And once you get some experience and learn exactly how much solder to use, there won't even be a lot of bridges to wick up :)

Just as a note, the 64drive does not have the same issue with 6103 CIC games when using the 6105 CIC. I have a 6105 in my 64drive, and just tested some 6103 games, worked perfectly.

Neo Myth 64 doesn't have this problem either because I have a 6105 soldered into mine.
So most likely it's just a small bug in krikzz boot emulator that he will fix very soon.

[KRIKzz]

one guy tested 1080 Snowboarding on myth 64 with 6105 and he say that game does not work. may be he used some old menu or something like that. but anyway, if it work somewhere, then i just should to fix boot emulator code

[sanni]

I just tried it for you, so you can be sure =)
Both the PAL and NTSC rom of 1080 work on my jpn N64 with the N64 Myth and 6105 cic (from Perfect Dark US)

Did you try the Everdrive 64 with a 6105 or 7105? Maybe there is a difference, I can't test it on my Myth because I soldered the 6105 in it :(

[KRIKzz]

i try only 6105

Hello KRIKzz will you also support the Everdrive 64 V1 in future with OS & FW Updates?

[Tagzard]

So all games work on the everdrive 64 v2 except for Banjo. And you really need to get a manufacturer. I have 200$ in my account via paypal ready to give to you.... BUT YOUR OUT OF STOCK!!!

Yes he will. I actually just asked him this yesterday. OS files that work on v1 actually have FW for v2 built in, v1 just ignores it since it can't load it during start-up. Only difference is for FW updates on v1 you will have to get updated or use a USB Blaster.

Actually he has been pumping out a lot of EverDrives lately now that he has more people helping him make them. He used to be only able to send me 5 or so at a time, now I am getting 20+ at a time.

[sanni]

Should I go see a doctor because even though I already have a Neo N64 Myth AND a 64Drive I still wanna have the Everdrive 64 too xD

And to answer Tagzard's post:
V1 can play all games, but not Banjo Tooie because it has a special copy protection that hasn't been cracked yet.
V2 can play all games but for Banjo Tooie you need an actual 6105 cic installed in the Everdrive and not the standard 6102 because Banjo Tooie checks for the 6105 several times even after the boot.
Also right now, when you have the 6105 cic installed, games like 1080°, that need the bootemulator to emulate a 6103 cic, won't work.
But I'm sure Krikzz will find the solution for this in the future.

Also as StoneAgeGamer already pointed out, the big improvement of V2 is that you don't need to buy anything extra to update it.

banjo, and some game, which req realtime clock (can't remember name) is the only known problems

Animal Forest (Nintendo 64 animal crossing) is one of them. I'm pretty sure there are a few others, but I don't have a clue what they're titled.

[Pannolino]

is banjo a rare (lol) game ?
i mean, very difficult to find, expensive, you have to kill a certain amount of little cat an offer their hearts to someone in order to get a poor, loose, dirty copy of the game?

really cant get the point around all this hassle

[sanni]

Actually Banjo Tooie is very easy to find and only costs about 20€ shipped. It's just the "gotta catch 'em all" ^^
