Anyone get an Everdrive Pro yet?

[Charlie_]

Both my brother and I purchased an Turbo Everdrive Pro from Krikzz. We are having different experiences with them.

I'm wondering how others are finding the device.

Hucards seems to work fine. CD support is working although audio sync is way off. I can only get CD audio from my PC Engine using the AV booster. TG-16 using a Chinese sold AV booster with RGB and the Genesis 2 port will not produce CD audio. I'm guessing a real Turbo Booster would work, I don't have one.

Using it as a Super System / Arcade card on the TG-CD or PCE-Briefcase works but I've had random lockups in 3X3 eyes and Saphire.

When I switch to the real Arcade card there are no lockups.

 

My Bros card is not so good. He has all the same issues but there are parts in some CD games where it just crashes back to menu.

As an example Ys after beating the 1st book. Instead of the cool cut scene, it crashes. Problem confirmed as his card as we've tested between are two cards, sd cards, and different hardware. He is using a supergrafx and that does produce audio from the DIN. I'm guessing the supergrafx and core have the booster built in.

 

Wondering how others are finding the Everdrive Pro.

I might get one someday. Its a cool device but hopefully it will get some fixes via updates.

Guess I dodged a bullet with it not functioning with DUO systems (I originally wanted one to get around a flaky disc drive, but alas, that won't work).

 

To people with devices that can utilize them, I hope these reported issues get fixed as generally Krikzz's stuff is top notch.

I just obtained a TED Pro + EDFX and it works great so far.

 

It has breathed new life into my stock TG-16, which had been "mothballed" in favor of a Duo-R with region switch.

I have the TeD Pro and EDFX... I run it with multiple PCE consoles, including TG16, and I haven't had any issues.

I'm having similar issues, as well.

 

Can anyone here verify that audio stays synchronized with video in the intro to Ys IV Dawn of Ys (when Adol and Dogi arrive in town on the boat) and during the dialog scenes in Dracula X (for example, when rescuing Maria in Stage 2)?

 

I'm running the latest firmware, have tried multiple SD cards from multiple manufacturers, but the problem persists.  The video will pause for a brief moment each time the "disc" (SD card) is accessed to load PCM audio, which causes slight desynchronization... but the issue is compounded each time another bit of PCM audio is loaded, making it worse and worse.  Some of the longer dialog scenes in Ys IV, for instance end up becoming desynchronized by several seconds by the end.

 

Note that this is separate from the CD audio track synchronization issues that have been completely fixed with the latest FW updates for instance, the intro of Dracula X where the woman is sacrificed).

 

Here's an example from the Ys IV intro.  It's not my video but from someone who has confirmed the same issue on the official Everdrive forums:

 

I know these games stay synchronized on actual hardware (I have tested them on my actual Duo), and they also stay synchronized using the same SD card on both the SSDS3 and Upergrafx.
