CoachMac Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 http://www.stoneagegamer.com/everdrive-md-deluxe.html Is this as simple as it seems? Play custom roms on Original Genesis? SD card you can get at Best Buy? Anyone have any reviews of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Buy direct from the guys in Russia, takes a few weeks: http://shop.krikzz.com/EverDrive-MD-v3-EDMDV3.htm I own this, and yes, very simple to use. This is what we were using to play 2v2 and NBA Jam in Toronto. Get an SD card (16GB will fit every Genesis ROM ever made with room to spare...you can find sites where you can download all ROMs with one zip file), follow the instructions on the manual (attached): •Create EDMD folder in the root of SD card;•Copy MDOS.BIN into EDMD folder;•Unzip ROM files and copy them to SD card;•Insert SD card into cartridge Everdrive Manual: edmd-v3 user manual EN.pdf MDOS file to put in a folder called EDMD on your SD Card: MDOS.BIN Costs $78 + $5 shipping. You can get a plastic shell for $9. I'd argue it's worth it for the plastic shell. If you try to open up one of your old Sega Genesis carts, you'll find that the screws have specialty heads and you'll likely have to buy a new tool for that as well. Also, the SD card sticks out the top, so you'll have to cut open a spot on the plastic shell. I bought an Arnold Palmer Golf cart for like $2, bought the specialty screwdrivers, took off the old label, used a Dremel to carve out the plastic for the Everdrive, etc...in hindsight, I should've just payed the $9.

IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Wait a second... you destroyed an Arnold Palmer Golf cart??? The horror! I'm definitely picking up one of these... thanks for heads up, Raph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah, I've got one, but have yet to have the chanced to test/use it! Hopefully, next week when Ice comes to town, we can all get some 2v2 going off it. Bought it when I got back from Toronto. Comes in a package from Russia!

CoachMac Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 This thing is unbelievable! It is incredible, you can play all your custom roms on the Original equipment. Gotta order a 4 way play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachMac Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Questions about using the Everdrive. #1 NHL 94 roms save playoffs. NHLPA 93 roms do not save playoffs. Anyone know why? or a fix. #2 NHL 94 30 team roms work. NHLPA 93 30 team roms do not. Anyone know why? or a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm pretty sure NHLPA 93 never saved playoffs. I thought 94 was the first game to do that (ever?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 93 does save. I have the many Original Carts. So on the everdrive 92 with its password system works, and 94 saves playoffs but not 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdelan Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The original game works fine on my Everdrive MD, but for some reason I get an "prog error 120" message when I try to load up one of the 2016 rom hacks, (I've tried version 3 and version 8) usually when the progress bar says the rom is almost loaded, even though it plays fine on an emulator on my Raspberry Pi. Any ideas? I can't find anything on what that error means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The everdrive won't run any of my 93 edits using the 30 team rom only the original rom works or edits of the original rom. All of my 94 roms have worked, but obviously some issue with some of these 30 team rom edits. I do not know what it is and I asked the same question. With the 93 roms you don't even get an error message just a blank screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 93 roms you don't even get an error message just a blank screen. Check and make sure the ROM has a header. Also if your ROM is using decompressed graphics, or if the size is different from the original, the header needs to be updated. The ROM needs to have a header, and needs to be set up properly in order for it to run on a system. The emulator doesn't care about a header. You can find a bunch of info about the header on the internet. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Genesis_Programming#ROM_header Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachMac Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Awesome info. As always thanks chaos! I will report back when I get time, if I was able to fix or what my issue was. this makes sense though I do wonder why my all decade 94 roms run perfectly on the everdrive.

I will report back when I get time, if I was able to fix or what my issue was. this makes sense though I do wonder why my all decade 94 roms run perfectly on the everdrive. If you are using NOSE, I'm assuming it modifies the header if changes are made. Could be why the 94 Roms work. Are you using NOSE for 93 also?

CoachMac Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 NOSE and a Hex Editor. SO, it may need an other run through NOSE. I'll check and post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, don't remember, but I went to two different sites (google something like "Sega Genesis Complete ROM set")...one had each ROM individually, and one had it by letter folder (which was nice to organize).

Thanks for getting back, Raph. I checked out a couple sites last night but I'll keep looking around for the one that you said creates a letter folder. Once I locate it, I'll post it here.

segathon Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I think I am going to bit the bullet and get one of these. There are so many variations now. X7, X5, X3 Any recommends? https://krikzz.com/store/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I think I am going to bit the bullet and get one of these. There are so many variations now. X7, X5, X3 Any recommends? https://krikzz.com/store/ Wow, looks like these just came out in November. I have a V3, and looking at this chart they provide, it seems the X3 will be a lot faster to load. I don't know what a hardware mega key are, or SMS pause button are, etc. It looks like the X3 should be sufficient, as it seems to be an upgrade from what I have, and that works perfectly for me.

CoachMac Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I am not sure which one I have, but I absolutely love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmFleury'sHipCheck Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I believe I have the same one as Raph. It's awesome. Even the load times on the older version aren't bad at all so that's something to consider if there is a price spread b/w the 2. My one tip to potential buyers is make sure you buy the correct size SD card. I know, probably something most people know but I didn't realize there were different sizes until I bought mine last year. Good luck!

chaos Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Biggest difference between X5 and X3 is Sega-CD compatibility. If you want to play Sega CD games, get the X5. SMS pause button has to do with Sega Master System emulation. The Genesis/Mega-Drive had an attachment called the Power Base that used to play SMS games (backward compatibility, SMS was the 8-bit system released before Genesis). Biggest difference between the X3 and the V3 is the loading time, which is essentially nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer_33 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Biggest difference between the X3 and the V3 is the loading time, which is essentially nothing. The difference is nothing -or- the new carts loading time is nothing? The X3 is now priced to kill the 'knock-offs' and can be had for $40 less than the V3s were selling for.

CoachMac Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Aside from a few charges at elaborate Black Sea Resorts there has nothing suspicious!

Thanks I thought I paid via PayPal. I guess not. krikzz is the one who designed it. You are essentially buying it wholesale. It is legit, so don't worry.
