If this could be hacked it would be worth a lot more.

It must cost them a lot of money for the 128MB / 1GB sd cards they use.

If the consoles were like PCs, it wouldn't be an issue. PC games have multiple marketplaces, including ones that allow DRM free downloads you can copy and take a backup of. I can still download and play Steam games I bought 20 years ago and when a game is delisted, I can still download it if I bought it.

I own all the Super Pockets but I'm getting a bit tired of these low effort releases.

There seem to be a lot of anti AI articles on here recently.

@h3s There are a few tips on how to do this here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/evercade-cartridge-reader-to-usb.634204/

@h3s It's just a SD card. You can connect a GBA cart slot to an SD card reader with about 6 wires and it will read the cartridges. Alternately if you own a Super Pocket or Evercade VS, you can use those to dump them to SD card.
I backup all my carts in case one fails.

My question is: If someone created a tool that could automatically decompile N64 roms and convert them into an EXE that works on the PC, would people use it if no AI is involved in it's creation?

Considering the GameStation Go plays ZX Spectrum games and is much bigger and the Super Pocket, also from Blaze plays ZX Spectrum games but only costs £50

Lots of the best classic computer games were licenses, list Batman - The Movie or Robocop. I can't see much chance of them getting re-released any time soon.

To be fair, most of us are over 40 and starting to need glasses for close up gaming. A bigger screen is welcome.

I wondered about a handheld console with a dock.

I don't think we'd get a more powerful machine as they said that every cart will always work on every device.

It's not much better after the update. Aiming is still off and unresponsive. My Sinden is much better and has proper recoil.

Looks pretty good, but it's probably just as easy to get a cartridge dumper and extract them from the .SAV file.

I wish they'd included wireless functionality in the VS itself. Having a massive USB dongle sticking out can be a bit of a danger if you have kids.

Hopefully not just dumping another PS1 ISO onto an SD card and playing with RetroArch.

With Duke Nukem 1 (not 3D) they developed a native port and it was great.

I'd hate to have to play the SNES port instead

This was one of my favourite Playdate games. Glad others are going to be able to play it.

Nice to see some real changes to the Evercade firmware for once. Now how about enabling all the Retroarch features you've disabled like rewind, cheats, etc.

I thought this was going to explain how George Costanza's high score managed to stay intact for 15 years.

It's no Cheetah 125+

Well you know what they say, if it ain't Baroque....

@GValiente I stand correct and apologize. That makes it even more of an achievement!

Very smooth. Bit of a cheat putting audio from the original over it but still an amazing technical achievement.

I got the Space Invaders one and was very disappointed. The sound isn't just off, it's completely wrong. It seems they are using very cheap hardware and just putting Atari or NES versions of the games on.

So there are 4 versions of this.

1. The SNES version with mode 7 - The best one.
2. The Genesis / Amiga version with Outrun style tracks.
3. The PC / PS1 / Saturn versions.
4. The Gameboy version.

All 4 play completely differently, however only the SNES is any good.

It's a shame that they left Jungle Hunt out as I grew up with the game. If they can change the music in Rainbow Islands they could change the Tarzan yell.

Activision have so many good games on home computers, it's a shame we get more Atari 2600 games.

Looks like the X-Out remaster. Also, if you've never heard this game's soundtrack, check it out. Chris Hulsbeck is amazing.

Ugh Roguelike....

I love this emulator. I wonder if there might be future iterations for other consoles, or if the technology only works due to the way the NES works.

Some of the RetroArch CRT filters give a massive performance hit. I would assume that doing N64 and CRT filters would reduce the emulation speed

Bomberman please

@swiller True, but the Atari ones replaced the spinner controls which works in a similar way to the mouse. I'm not sure you can replace code for a d-pad with a mouse handling routine. That said you could do lightgun support.

I guess in the end, it's just whatever Retroarch already supports, since that is what they are using to emulate the games. Anything you can do in Retroarch on that hardware should be possible on Evercade as long as they enable the option in their settings file.

@Guru_Larry I think only games that support mouse on the original console or computer can be used, so that's Amiga and PSX.
Cannon Fodder on Evercade is either the SNES or Megadrive version.

Aliens - Arcade all the way

I love my playdate, but I suspect every developer is a vegan.

So they said it wasn't their fault, then put out a patch.

" fighting to preserve creativity in a world on the verge of artistic extinction" - A sonic clone

The first game runs much faster than the original PSX version. I think it's an emulation issue.

Port it to Evercade. If not, a Genesis port will do as the Evercade can run it.

But she's got a new hat!

Clearly Amiga Power is the best, followed by Your Sinclair, PC Zone and then everything else!

So that makes the cart capacity about 1.1GB, slightly over twice as big as the largest carts.

@Jhena. The manuals are ok, but they are very abridged. If they are using bigger SD cards, perhaps they can fill them with supplementary materials such as soundtracks and full PDF manuals.

I own every Evercade cart so far and have extracted just the roms. The total size of every game ever is about 2.8GB with the largest SD card being only 512MB.

It does seem a bit odd that they are putting their price up by £4.50 when a high spec 64GB card is only £8. I somehow doubt they will be increasing their size that much since the most they can emulate are PS1 games.

Why wide-screen. I'd rather have a higher res 4:3 screen with a CRT filter as good as Spectaculars.

Isn't that the NES Target Renegade (the not good one). Release the home computer versions!

Goodboy Galaxy should be no 1.

Duke Nukem collection 1 is OK, but it's missing original music and the Duke3d copy is the PS1 version.

@X68000 I think some of these games are now owned by Piko Interactive and appear on one of their carts.
Top Gear 1 & 2 and Switchblade definitely do.

Did they use the Genesis version of Flashback because the WHDLoad Amiga version is buggy and plays the cutscenes at the wrong speed?
Again I don't know why they didn't just port Reminiscence and run Flashback natively with Amiga music, Sega CD speech, etc.

If the Genesis version is the best, why didn't they include the CD version?
