  • It's Adam Koralik here and today we're checking out the Everdrive X7 for the Nintendo 64. This is a flash card made by Ukranian hero, Krikzz. The purpose is to allow all, or at least almost all, N64 games to function off of a single cartridge. It even has some bonuses such as NES emulation, GameShark support, being region free, anti-aliasing patching, and limited 64DD support. Let's talk about it!

    Just in case you were interested, the entire North American collection of N64 games can fit on a DVD-R. It was fun to sneak that into work back in the day. I mean uh.... Eh, what do I care I don't work there anymore.
    You could probably fit the entire official N64 catalogue on an 8Gb card.

    To enable auto patching, pull the Z trigger to open the options menu.
    Also, the .ips file in the AUTO folder must match the .n64 filename exactly. Example:
    game-name v1.01 (USA).n64
    and
    game-name v1.01 (USA).ips

    Nice to see the X7 now automatically detects region instead of requiring the physical switch, though I'm pretty relieved it's not a massive upgrade to my V3 and it's job as the permanent fixture in my N64 is assuredly safe! Love this thing.

    My understanding is the Auto-patch feature requires the patch files to be named using the CRC of the ROM to patch, rather than relying on a match between the patch and ROM filename. There are tools to get the CRC of ROM files but it's a big hassle.

  • @kenh6096

    The PAL comment was unexpected especially as you mentioned Goldeneye specifically. Goldeneye is a game where the PAL version has some nice improvements. The PAL version runs full screen and the NTSC used black boarders to shrink the effective screen size. The larger effective screen size of the PAL version combined with PALs higher native resolution also made for subtle but noticeable improved graphics. They also managed to reduced the extreme slowdown for the PAL version and both versions topped out at under 25fps so there was no inherent need for a display with a higher refresh rate.

    This is the only Everdrive I've bought, my reasoning being the not perfect emulation available and wanting to play on original hardware/controller. It's great to have access to some translated roms and other extras like the convrted 64DD games. Kudos to the N64 hacker community!

      @WhiteJarrah 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AdamKoralik That's as maybe, but you're still putting anti-aliasing *back* by adding an mClassic. The N64 has two anti-aliasing modes. The Gameshark disables the primary anti-aliasing while RGB mods and the UltraHDMI disable the secondary anti-aliasing. Some N64 fans like to use both simultaneously to produce an ultra sharp picture. But adding a device with its own forced anti-aliasing like the mClassic kind of defeats the purpose of disabling the N64's anti-aliasing.

    I'm 3 years late to the party but someone linked me to it asking about 64DD support:
    I see in the video that you tried to load *.ndd files which are 64DD disk images. THOSE DO NOT WORK, only ports of these games into a cartridge file format works (so *.z64 or *.n64 and the likes). Those were made by Zoinkity (unlike a comment who may say I did, I never did those) in like, around 2015 if I remember correctly. It goes without saying, but an Expansion Pak is required to play them, and you won't get an error if you're missing it.
    Currently, the only N64 flashcart that does actually support 64DD disk images is SummerCart64 (SC64) which is still under development for the menu. It's also open source and could definitely improve further.

    Nintendo 64 has been on my mind this pass week and then you uploaded this video is great timing. I've been on a retro gaming quest for the past 2 years to make all my retro consoles HD compatible. FPGA based replacements is my main solution. I sold my original N64 back in early 2001, so probably I will spend the money and get the Ultra HDMI modded N64. I really want an FPGA based N64 but that is not going to be happening anytime soon. Yes, I saw your other videos about N64, but the Ultra HDMI video looks great and seems to be the best solution for me. Later I will buy the Everdrive. I knew about it for a decade now but never owned one.
    Also emulation of N64's can be painful. Mostly having problems with the controller layouts not working. Too buggy. Emulation in general kinda sucks. I want a finished product I can hook up to a TV and play my games! Not spending my weekend trying to figure out why nothing is working properly.

    I didn't know that Krikzz was from Ukraine. I wonder how the release of his Everdrives would have fared had they been released when his country was still part of the Soviet Union. Would we have even seen an international release? Though knowing the USSR, they probably would have heralded Everdrives as "an extraordinary feat of Soviet engineering."

    Hi Adam, will you be doing a review on RetroActive's 64Drive once those are back in stock? The 64Drive (while the Everdrive X7 has recently been more Homebrew Dev friendly) was made to be N64 Homebrew Developer Friendly from the start.
    Also you should get the latest version of the NEON Nes Emulator (of which you can find on Github) - it is improved over the version that comes pre-packed with your everdrive (better Mapper support, better over all under the hood code changes from the author).
    There is also a fairly good supported Game Boy/GameBoy Color Emulator (and easy to use Converter for it) called GB64. For anything else relating to things you'd want to use/check out for N64 Homebrew or Everdrive related things - please visit n64 (dot) dev (there's also a thriving N64 Homebrew Scene on Discord...)

    (Third Comment Update) for the people that are having issues with the compatibility of their TVs because of their TV brand and the OSSC. I have my N64 2x line double = 480p and for my PS1 I have a 3x line double = 720p. Now I have the Samsung QFN TV which supports every resolution from 240p all the way up to 4k. For some of you that are having issues with comparability on your TV. Plug your OSSC to the cheap Scart Converter box which allows any resolution to be thrown at it and upscale it to 720p or 1080p. Problem solved. The only console I recommend using the Mclassic with the OSSC is the PS2 because of its graphics. Like I mentioned before, the Mclassic will not support nor process scan lines for older consoles that do need them to have a clear image. Keep in mind that every console from before the NES up to the PS1 games where made with scan lines in mind. The HD Scart Converter Box does process scan lines from the OSSC witch is fantastic. So if you are running you retro consoles in 480p or 720p, now you can upscale them to 1080p with the Scart Box. The HD Scart Box has an HDMI input support apart from the Scart Cable. So it works perfect. For the PS1 the scanlines have to be on the Top and for the N64 scan lines have to be on the Bottom. Hope this helps anyone having compatability issues.

    I have the Mclassic with the Ever Drive with AA off. And it looks like a big mess. There are two ways to remove the AA from the game. The 1st one is by entering the gameshark code, but this way only eliminates partially the AA. Kind of like dubbing it down a bit. The 2nd way is downloading a program on your computer that will literally patch the games with 100% AA off. I have tried both. But the problem is that some games literally need the AA. Others do not. Now, those games will defenetly look better. I have 2 folders on my Everdrive X7. One with the original roms, and one folder with the AA patch games. That way I can go back and forth seeying which ones looks better. But the Mclassic will not fix the AA issues from the 64 games because most of the games where build with the AA feature in mind. I hope this helps anyone wondering. Or want to play arround with patching games.
