Corrections: - The 108 USD price for the SC64 from Phenom Mod is for the shell-less option, sorry! The actual price including the shell is 124 USD. - Some missing menu functions that I have mentioned have been added as of this upload! - The menu is 480i, not 480p. - The sound effect quirks in the 64DD version of Mario 64 noted here are also present in the PAL version!
fun fact: if you plugged in the unreleased 64gb cable into your n64 while playing mario artist paint studio, you gain the option to not only use the game boy printer, but also an unreleased color printer as well, meaning that if nintendo ever released the cable, the mariolphin could have been preserved the way god intended
i’m going to be so real here when i saw the alien on planet mars i was like “what’s this guy’s name gonna be? snorkle? no, snorkle is a water breathing thing. maybe snorky?” and then he hovered over the alien and his name was snorky and i was like WHAT THE FUCK
For the stickers, there are 7 stickers per “page”. With the two Pokémon sections having 11 pages each, that does add up to over 151, meaning they very well may have provided a sticker for every Gen 1 Pokémon!
thank you for making this video! I've been thinking about buying a N64 flashcart for years and I'm glad I procrastinated until now. will definitely be purchasing
I have one of the original Everdrive 64s... I've been thinking for years on upgrading for RTC support and not accidentally losing my save turning off the console, this product will probably be the push I needed to upgrade my N64 flashcart. Thank you.
Thank you! Things of Interest has been going on since 2018 as basically a 'tag' for videos all about interesting things from my collection, so there will definitely be more in the future!
Great vid on the SummerCart64! Was neat to hear about all its 64DD features and playability. Though a couple corrections. - The Master Quest expansion, is more a release of the original revision of Master Quest before it became the release on the gamecube which were found in the gigaleak. There are differences in puzzle layouts in a good portion of the dungeons. - Unfortunately, what was done for OOT with both the dawn dusk expansion and the Master Quest expansion cannot be replicated for Mario Party. In OoT, we knew what files the game replaces due to a 64DD file built into the game to exchange data with the disk. OoT upon boot only checks if the 64DD is connected with a correct ID disk, then proceeds to the title screen and file select. Only after the file select screen does it exchange data for certain files, Dungeons, minimaps, treasure map icons, text and staff credits. OoT is the only game with these data hooks as other DD games do not use this process. Mario Party confirms if the 64DD is hooked up then proceeds to gives priority to the disk to run whatever it likes and replace anything it needs while still being able to call assets from the cartridge. This comes as a problem as with no outline on how it would work, there's really no way to create a custom expansion disk.
As you mentioned yourself, the reality is that there are already 64DD conversions for the (newer) Everdrive X7. Which isn't the selling point most would think it is anyway, because the library of 64DD games is perhaps even more limited than that of the SuperGrafx or Virtuaboy. Also, what Luigiblood said is mostly irrelevant if you just want to play Official 64DD games (which is 99.9% of people). The effort involved in converting 64DD games to .n64 is only really a relevant issue for 64DD home-brew - as the majority of known officially licensed 64DD games have ALREADY been converted. This includes (as of date): _Dezaemon 3D DD, F-Zero X, Kyojin no Doshin, Mario Artist Communication Kit, Mario Artist paint Stuido, Mario Artist Polygon Studio, Mario Artist Talent Studio, Nihon Pro Golf, Randnet Disk, Sim City 64, Super Mario 64 DD and Zelda DD (to name some)._ The main advantage of this Flashcart is really price more than anything else - which is almost $100 less than what a comparable Everdrive X7 typically sells for in 2024. Making this a EXTREMELY compelling option for people who can not get a newer Everdrive because of limited availability, prohibitively high price or lack of access to them in their market.
It's a good thing someone makes an actual opensource cartridge that improves upon what the EverDrive can do. I believe there's even another one that uses the Pi Pico and SD Cards but I could be wrong here.
That USB-C port would be cool if people start making homemade games that uses it were you can hook up like 2 N64’s to play multiplayer games between them
I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet but the start is off a little, you show the X7 at $159 but then start to list upgrade over your old flashcart. Problem is it sounds like you have an older X5 at $99 as the X7 has all but the 64DD upgrade and works more or less the same. The problems listed are a X5 things not X7. This may give others that don't know anything of the X5 vs X7 the wrong idea. Also, maybe one day the X7 can be updated to have 64DD as well. If it has the power to do so. Like how the newest update for the FXPAK PRO can do Super GameBoy on its own. P.S. Other then that part at the start, great video.
I wonder if the open source platform would allow the USB-C port to be accessible from games so that a webcam or network adaptor could be hooked up with a USB-C hub to act as the camera pack and network adaptor pack. It would depend on what chip on the cartridge is powering this setup.
I think I got doshin, f zero DD, and simcity 64 working on my old everdrive using conversions. Running the actual unconverted games is probably better? I dunno
8:30 Would it be possible in theory to emulate the modem using the USB-C port on the Flashcart itself? Could be something for a future revision or fork.
low yield, and needing expensive parts for a console that is nearly 30 years old at this point. if you are skint, you can build a picocart for around 10$ US but as its mainly used for experimentation don't expect much in the way of support or features.

I have the old printer and the new homebrew one using a nodemcu and a board. now where do I find plans to make the gameboy adapter to the n64
an unreleased cable for a barely-released system that allows you to use an equally unreleased device. wow
@@playahwon there are instructions to build your own. its kind of neat and you can play any game with almost any controller or mouse and keyboard
A more affordable flash cart hitting the market is phenomenal but the fact that is supports DD and is open source sounds to good to be true.
I've been using it for a while and its great
Talent Studio is genuinely one of my favorite Nintendo games. Me and my friends have gotten so much entertainment out of it.
i’m going to be so real here when i saw the alien on planet mars i was like “what’s this guy’s name gonna be? snorkle? no, snorkle is a water breathing thing. maybe snorky?” and then he hovered over the alien and his name was snorky and i was like WHAT THE FUCK

154! So you have to pick your least favorite missingno. form to leave out. :P
I was playing Mario Artist last night before bed, wild the timing! Those cart conversions are so good!
Please tell me how to play Mario Artist
the mariolphin is beautiful and i need 30 sequels instantly
This may as well be the Mega SD of N64.
The cost of the cart is $124.00, $108 is for the PCB only.
Added this to the pinned corrections list. Thanks!
thank you for making this video! I've been thinking about buying a N64 flashcart for years and I'm glad I procrastinated until now. will definitely be purchasing
Just placed my order for one. Been wanting a 64 flashcart and this having all of these features, especially the 64DD support just sealed the deal.
I have one of the original Everdrive 64s... I've been thinking for years on upgrading for RTC support and not accidentally losing my save turning off the console, this product will probably be the push I needed to upgrade my N64 flashcart. Thank you.
Update: I bought one... just waiting for it to ship and arrive after that.
31:00 bro just casually using speedrun strats
yet another great video! please promise me you won't drop this series of videos, I find them really interesting
Thank you! Things of Interest has been going on since 2018 as basically a 'tag' for videos all about interesting things from my collection, so there will definitely be more in the future!
we all love the mariolphin
Finally! An interesting cool video to cheer me up after getting hacked 2 days ago on my Discord account
My account is finally back!!!
I'm glad you got your account back!
Would have loved to have seen that other Ocarina of time homebrew on the 64dd. It's the original master quest dungeons from the gigaleak

Oedo Town theme. Instant respect.

Wait, is that...? Ryoko Hirosue in the footage of the Capture cartridge being used?
Intelligent Systems didn't get involved with the WarioWare series until Twisted! The first game started in-house!

Yes thats true but the dev has gave up on further developing it.

Bro what the actual heck. I was literally just thinking about this last night and then I see this. I’m actually blown away um what the heck….. 🤯🤯🤯
There’s already a home brew to change the rtc

This may give others that don't know anything of the X5 vs X7 the wrong idea.
Also, maybe one day the X7 can be updated to have 64DD as well. If it has the power to do so.
Like how the newest update for the FXPAK PRO can do Super GameBoy on its own.
P.S. Other then that part at the start, great video.
Wasn't the smacking flies minigame from another Japan only N64 "game"...? Mario no photopi (or something like that).
No, it wasn't there, Mario no Photopi has just a little "put the picture back together" minigame.
I would have played the crap out of mario artist in 1999. I was still rocking Mario Paint. I loved that stuff!
Reminds me of the ms paint days 😆
congrats on the logitech sponsorship :D

The USB support is faster and better so eventually on hardware multiworld randomizers and automatic trackers can be made to work with it
Now if they can put that GENESIS 32X on a flash cartridge along with the SEGA CD, now we are TALKING!
I think I got doshin, f zero DD, and simcity 64 working on my old everdrive using conversions. Running the actual unconverted games is probably better? I dunno
It doesn't change anything, you get the DD menu with the logo and that's about it
Of course I find this video the day that my Everdrive64 gets delivered
ikr lmao mine is almost here if i saw this video before looking up the everdrives id prob go with summer cart 64
You can run 64DD games on the Everdrive
@@lucdubois3927 I was more considering it being cheaper
I’d love to see an SD card initial setup guide for this cart. I can’t seem to find one on CZcams
Great video and your voice sounds like WWE wrestler Kevin Owens
Who else loves the soundtrack?
The fly swat song reminds me of Wallace and Gromit
8:30 Would it be possible in theory to emulate the modem using the USB-C port on the Flashcart itself? Could be something for a future revision or fork.
I believe that is theoretically possible as well!
Please do a video on the Nintendo test station and cartridges
Vídeo goes 33min long, ak: "a small look at the summer card" just think on how long a deep dive would take 😂
anyone know where i can find a duel cartridge board like the one shown at 8:39
Was SimCity ever workable on the DD? I remember they were working on an exclusive of sorts back in the day?
files are out there
Bro why they cant sell a n64 flashcard for like $50?💀.

@@shemlesh yup thing cant suppport larger games and doesnt save yet
Well *that* was a disc drive surprise
Does anyone know if the SummerCart64 supports Gameshark codes like the Everdrive?
in the future, its not fully implemented
@@Tom_Neverwinter Thank you kindly!
Anyone know if i can run 64dd games on an everdrive x7 like this?
Can we add a rom hack that makes the game not boot until you blow into a microphone?
Is the connector beveled?
i wish a prototype of mother 3 for n64 would come out and i could play it on my console
i immediately adore spockey. if spockey was in smash bros i would never play as anyone else ever again
and laura.
peak
No Doshin 2 🤨
Technically playable, but only through USB for the time being for multi 64DD disk loading (the button on the back allows disk swapping)
Can you upload game saves from others?
So all the roms, translations and dds already come with it if i purchase from that website?
It comes with none of that, it only has the ability to play those files... you have to provide the files yourself on the SD card you insert.
Here before 1000 views gang:
The real question is --> who want to play N64 in 2024 ?? Gamecube Picoboot Rule the world !!
