+thegoldenband Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Has anyone else had a problem with slightly corrupted file names? Every now and then when I save a file to the SD card, a portion of another game name on the card will appear at the end of the title, along the lines of "Sonic the Hedgehogstar Heroes", to make up an example. Renaming the file usually hasn't worked for me. This appears to be an issue with the display routine, not with the actual filenames, right? Or at least, none of the filenames have been changed when I mount the card on my Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I am having the same issue as well. Doesn't affect the cards functionality, but it's kind of annoying. I'm sure that it will be fixed in an update. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubelindo Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Received mine today I have to search for a donor cart, if somebody volunteers, I'd pay shipping to Spain + cost of the cartridge if applicable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Can you really not find a single Genesis/MegaDrive cart anywhere locally??? I'd be happy to send you a cart free for the price of shipping, but I can't believe that you can't buy one somewhere local. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubelindo Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 To be honest I have not even searched, the only game stores I know are Game and Gamestop and the retro stuff they have is PS2. I had a Mega Drive once but I gave it to a younger cousin In fact I'm lending the Everdrive board to a friend who is into Sega so he can test it Now I'm used to eBay for all my gaming needs and have completely forgotten the local "real" stores ... guess I'm getting lazy Can you really not find a single Genesis/MegaDrive cart anywhere locally???

Rex Dart Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Any chance that these fit in an EA cart case? Would be a perfect use of a Shaq Fu shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the holes in the PCB are not the same size nor in the same position as an EA cart requires. Also, an EA cart is a bitch to get open, because of that stupid yellow tab.

+thegoldenband Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I tried the Everdrive in two different cart shells (Comix Zone and Pit Fighter), and both required additional modifications to get the PCB to fit. Specifically, the plastic posts were too thick and seemed to be about 0.5mm off from lining up with the holes in the Everdrive PCB, so I had to grind the posts down with a Dremel, narrowing the sides until they fit. I also had to slightly widen the spot where the PCB comes through the bottom of the cart. Have other people had to do this too? Maybe Euro Mega Drive games have a slightly different form factor.

cubelindo Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I was wondering if Mega Drive and Genesis carts have the same form factor / dimensions. Also if the boxes are the same so I can use the cool labels and inserts I have seen in this thread I tried the Everdrive in two different cart shells (Comix Zone and Pit Fighter), and both required additional modifications to get the PCB to fit. Specifically, the plastic posts were too thick and seemed to be about 0.5mm off from lining up with the holes in the Everdrive PCB, so I had to grind the posts down with a Dremel, narrowing the sides until they fit.

the.golden.ax Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 hi all! i have some new stuff for SNES http://krikzz.com/severdrive.html This may actually fit in a SNES kiosk... the retro version doesn't with the CF card.

Cliff Friedel Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 hi all! i have some new stuff for SNES http://krikzz.com/severdrive.html This looks great. Anyone know if this will work with the YOBO or similar clones? I know some of the others won't. Would be great as it really saves space compared to having the NES and SNES on the shelf where I play. Either way though, after my experience with the everdrive, I will definitely be picking one of these up. As for the people with the hole issues, if you are looking for a cart, I know the Joe Montana Football one lines up with the board pretty well. I imagine any Sega made one would work though.

Austin Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Has anyone found any carts that the 4.5mm security bits don't work on? I've got a Joe Montana Football cart and the screws seem different than the normal ones. The bit I received from eBay definitely is not working on this thing.. Going to have to find another cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberpunk Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) played halfway through Sonic 3 & Knuckles, which autosaves up to 10 (i think) slots. i turned the machine off then back on and ran S3+K again without changing games. my save file is gone. is there something i forgot to do or is this feature non-existent? edit: "+ save ram data can be stored or loaded from SD card" okay, so i did something wrong. i'll have to investigate this later when i get home from work.

Greg2600 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Someone on sega-16 said that saving won't work with Knuckles due to the Lock On somehow. Requires editing the rom, which no one has done yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
