    The "Loader 64" folder can be removed. It includes stuff for Win/Mac/Linux for connecting this cart to a PC for debugging...something you can't do anyway unless you mod the board. Changing wallpapers is easy. Press the DOWN C and it asks you if you want to use the selected wallpaper...done. Just figured I would chime in since mine arrived today. The one that I received is a newer microSD model, but it works the same. Great cart!

    I've had the ED64 plus for well over a year loaded with the better part of the 64 library on it. I imaged the original sd to a better brand sd and archived the image. I have had zero problems with it. All saves work perfectly, once one learns the details of the different save features, and it plays perfectly. It's a beautiful thang!

    Hey, a correction: Any N64 can output any video mode. You CAN load PAL roms on an NTSC console, and NTSC ROMs on a PAL console. I'm using the Super64 myself with a PAL N64 and play NTSC ROMs on it just fine. Your specific TV might not be able to handle a PAL signal, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

    • @PikangsFutaba
      @PikangsFutaba Před 3 lety

      In the end it comes if your display device can support both NTSC and PAL, as the console itself has no issues (aside of putting the cart in the correct mode for a USA/JPN console in NTSC or EUR console in PAL to start booting the games), so far only 1 game I was interesting doesn't work for me (Puyo Puyo Sun) but is not a big loss compared to what I can actually play that I couldn't back in the day or nowdays because of the stupid prices they ask for some of the games.

    • @blah7403
      @blah7403 Před 2 lety +1

      You won't regret it (in my case I got it 2 years ago as ED64Plus), it works like a charm and almost all games boot just fine, and you can play some rom hacks like Smash Remix or Randomized games like the 2 Zeldas and Super Mario 64... just make sure you have an expansion pack, as most hacks needs it to work, the same for prototypes like Mortal Kombat Trilogy (the prototype features unmasked Sub-Zero instead of Cage for example).

    Glad to see the Super 64 has a regular SD interface. I just got my ED64+ from the post office and getting the micro SD card to latch is a bit frustrating, though it's not as flimsy as I thought. If I'm to get another flashcart, it'll be this one with its firmware switched out for Alt64 since it's basically a knockoff ED64+.

      Well, nodays ED64 Plus should have minor issues with Pokemon Stadium 2 but those are not enough to say that you should use the OG cart instead, I think the same can be said for Resident Evil 2, as far as I know, the only concern is to reset the console on games that don't use controller pack to save progress and also that some romhacks, translations or prototypes that are starting to appear might not run at all (one of the MKT prototypes must be fixed to make it work on ED64 Plus for instance), and you may want to have a 2nd SD with an alternative firmware to backup your controller pack data in case you only have 1, that way you can play more games that needs the controller pack to save their data (particulary most sports game that requieres a fully empty controller pack to save the data).

    For anyone thinking of getting this specifically for Super Mario 64 speedrunning. This works for the Usamune rom and that should be all you need. The barrier to entry for running and recording runs of this game on the N64 is already high enough with all the cables, worrying about a good stick if you're trying the eBay lottery, splitters, etc. that $200 just to get some decent practice tools is ridiculous. It's not like you're gonna use it for anything else, though if you do want to run more than just Usamune then by all means get the X7 for the most convenient experience.

    Nice video! I’ve really been wanting to purchase this exact cartridge, so I’ve been hopping between Amazon, EBay, and Aliexpress. Amazon is the most reliable, but Aliexpress is what suits my pockets right now 😂. I’m just nervous because I’ve heard of so many things that can go wrong with purchasing from their site. Also, I live in the US, but have a Japanese N64 that was modded to play both Japanese and US games by cutting out the region block tabs. Do I still set this cartridge to the Japan version?

    • @heyguysitsshea
      @heyguysitsshea  Před 3 lety +2

      Lol understandable. So with Aliexpress I made sure to check the seller ratings and customer reviews, i found one guy that had like an 82% rating and immediately clicked away because i knew it was just going to be trouble. I found one seller with a 99.8% rating and at the time had sold just under 400 everdrives, so I felt safe ordering from them, and both everdrives I ordered came to me flawlessly. Just keep in mind that aliexpress does ship from china and we are in the midst of covid, so it might take a month or two to get to you. As far as region locking goes, the cart has spaces in the bottom to allow it to fit in any console from any region. The japanese and north american n64s are completely identical aside from the plastic bit, so the cart will work with whatever you decide to put it in

      @@GamerDan89 Is possible to play Dinosaur Planet prototype in the ED64 plus, but I can't remember what save option you have to put the game, otherwise it will crash by giving you an endless loop of "Fox" falling over and over until the game crashes and displays a debug type screen about the crash, I'll edit this comment once I remember what save type you must use to play the prototype, I'm not sure other prototypes, but I tried the Viewpoint one and it didn't load, and one I was interested (Puyo Puyo Sun) didn't load at all, so, you have to do some trial and error to see if a game is playable or not when it comes to hacks and prototype.

    • @heyguysitsshea

      I guess I cant really answer that question, I don't own a PAL n64 to experiment with. I feel like it should work fine, but I really have no idea. If I were you I'd check around youtube or google to see what the consensus is. My advice is stay away from reddit opinions tho, I mentioned it in this video, but the n64 subreddit is not objective when it comes to anything that isnt the krikzz everdrive. Sorry I couldn't help more!

    I have a question, has anyone successfully tried a clone backup on the SD? I tried to clone copy the original to make a backup, and even tried a fresh install with ED64 firmware and dumping the roms. The Super 64 cartridge only recognises the original SD and doesn't like SanDisk even though my PC can view both SD cards.
