Can someone enlighten me on the difference between this everdrive and the EZFlashIV that's been out for ever? They both load the games into memory and play them off the chip like an original right? or am I wrong? Curious as I might be down for one of these, just wanted to know the difference as I used to have the IV.
Blah blah blah, sux it gaies. Krizz give me one neener neener
+1 for jibba jew
Everdrives have always had easier setup, better interface, and better rom compatibility. I've owned an EZ Flash IV and it was a bit buggy and very slow loading roms. The interface kinda sucked too. It was passable, but just bad enough to make me want the real carts again.
I've never regretted getting an Everdrive, except the NES one (and I actually think it was a Chinese bootleg, as it's also the only one I didn't get directly from krikzz).

I second this entirely from personal experience having come across 2 of those ez-flash 4's. They're slow, the molding is also crap and you need to use tweezers pretty much to get the memory card out of it. The menu isn't streamlined or fun to use, I replaced it when I last had one that sucked a bit less. Another that suffers from slow, boring, clunky and even having to hit reset just to get saves stored on the NES side is that powerpak so many suck up to, had that too, never would recommend it. Everdrives though are solid, the programming guts get updates, great menu, quite a bit faster (memory card a given here), saves right like a native game pak. They may cost more than the ghetto stuff, but you don't put up with the annoyance and bs of every day painful use.
I'm in. Disappointed I missed out on the GB group buy. I'd like to eventually pick one of those up as well.
I'm betting no, since the GBA doesn't enter GBC mode unless the shape of the cartridge pushes a switch in, that's why the GBA carts have those notches by the contacts.Won't this work with GB ROMs?
KRIKzz said:Just tested EverDrive-GBA power consumption, and results pretty impressive.
original game: 52.3mA (Spyro 2)
everdrive-gba: 56.1mA
another farmous flashcart: 93.9mA (and peaks over 100ma durinl loading)
I tested whole system power consumption (console + cart). GBA-SP were used for testing.
Cartridge design is not completed yet, so, in final product numbers may changed

There's GB/C emulators on GBA if you must.
