Krikzz is back up with some products to purchase! If you've never looked into Everdrives before, they're my preferred way to play retro games. VERY good.

I still need a few. I want to pick up the GBA one so I can also knock out the GB (though the fact it uses GBA emulation, no matter how accurate it is, makes me sad). I also want to get the Turbografx one... even though I do not own a TG16 yet. ...I'll prolly hold off on getting that one lol

Expensive tho. But ugh, I'm tempted.

Even more impressive considering (to my understanding) the bulk of their operations are still coming out of Ukraine. I've mostly moved to my Mister for much of my 8-16 bit (and playstation now) gaming now, but Everdrives at this point are absolutely the way to go to play on OG hardware, especially with how utterly nuts the retro market is anymore.

I've been wanting to replace my entire cartridge library with everdrives. Having something that looks good on a shelf is nice, some are even sentimental, but it's just so much easier to have a single cart in a console. I can't afford it now because I'm trying to find a way to get into Canada, but I've considered just selling all my physical carts and replacing it with everdrives.

there's a nice side-benefit of the GBC emulation on GBA in that you can configure it to play certain hacks that have dynamic SGB borders while in GBC mode - like Crystal Clear for example - which shows up in the margins :p

Krikzz and co have really been working above and beyond given the conditions they've been dealing with all year. It is a bit of a bummer about the GBA Mini's GBA/C emulation, especially since some game audio doesn't get emulated properly. I've still found it to be a stellar solution for sure, and just switch over to the GB X7 for non-GBA games.

I'm hoping the Mega Everdrive X7s become available at some point. I've already got a 32X and SCD, so the Pro is overkill but it's still be nice to play expanded games like Virtua Racing.
