Hello!
I own an ED64 Plus since a few days, i got mine from ToToTek. As i recently visited the site, i saw this card, and because i've ordered a SNES and MD Pro64 Card in the past, and also because my recently investigation showed that other N64 Cards are up to 199$, i decided to get one.
I KNOW! It's a clone. And it's OS is from Everdrive64. Answers like: It's a pice of shit, it's crap, it won't get any further support are childish bullshit. I'am just interested how good/bad it works, and if i'am maybe handling the device wrong. And i just want to report a little, maybe someone else also got this cart, so we can change out information a little. That's all. Childish insults are senseless. Cause i really don't care.
I'am currently testing it functions, it's OS and it's stability.
What i know already:
- It's working great with my RGB-modded NTSC N64.
- It loads and starts every tested commercial rom so far
- It works well with a 2 GB Kingston micro SD (inserted in an SD-Adapter)
- It works well with an Toshiba 4GB SDHC Card
- Loading times are good. Takes about 6 seconds for a 320 Mbit Game like Paper Mario 64 (320Mbit are 40 MB)
- I'am using it with a japanese "Top Gear Hyperbike" Cart on top.
- It was delivered to me with Firmware 1.6, and OS 1.27, i've updated the OS to 1.28 yesterday. => http://www.ed64plus.com/?method=article_detail&id=7
Known Problems (At least for me):
-If a game is running, pressing the RESET-Button on the Console should take you back to the OS. This is also necessary to write down your game saver. But this is not working perfect. Sometimes you have to press the RESET-Button more than one time, or you have to hold it down for many seconds to get back to the OS.
Solved. Just press the Reset Button about 1-2 seconds and it should work
-I have to test games with different savetypes in the next days. And if the gamesaves are getting saved and loaded correctly. This is really important!
Solved. Every game i tested works.
Here are the first savegame test results (LAST updated Feb 17, 3013):
(All savegame tests have been made on an RGB Modded NTSC N64 with a japanese "Top Gear Hyperbike" (CIC 6102) cart inserted on top of the ED64 Plus and an Expansion Pak inserted in the N64!)
- Dr. Mario 64 (U) [!] (EEPROM 4Kb) - Works
- Mario kart 64 (U) [!] (EEPROM 4 Kb) - Works
- Mega Man 64 (U) [!] (FlashRAM) -Error No 1*!
- The new Tetris (U) [!] (SRAM) - Works
- Yoshi's Story (U) (M2) [!] (EEPROM 64 Kb) -Error No 1*
- Ridge Racer 64 (U) [!] (EEPROM 64 Kb) -Error No 1*
- Ogre Battle 64 (U) [!] (SRAM) - Works
- Mario Tennis (U) [!] (EEPROM 64 Kb) - Works
- Tigger's Honey Hunt (U) [!] (FlashRAM) - Works
- Jet Force Gemini (U) [!] (FlashRAM) - Works (What a suprise!)
All files had the ending ".z64"
Error No 1* =Unable to get back to OS via RESET-Button to save down the savegame to file; RESET-Button does not react!
Solved. Just press the Reset Button about 1-2 seconds and it should work
Does anyone here also own an ED64 Plus? Yes? So please: post your experiences with it!
If anyone has a question, just let me know!
