I've been looking for an everdrive alternative, I might pick this one up.

Please, Help. I just bought Red One with P\N switch and 16Gb SD card from ali, and I cant save on flash (Paper Mario, Jet Force Gemini, StarCraft64..). Or rather.. Saving OK, pressing Reset button, turn off\on cosole (transfer save data, etc on black screen), start game (game save upload message, of course), but there is no Save in actual game. Game save in fla format on SD card, but why game doesnot see it

try with alt64 firmware

 

[MystakaACE]

No, every Alt64 that i found doing the same\load save but game did not seeing any.
Hm.. original firmware save\load Ok, but it hasn't cheats.. omg, why? I need save and cheat)

 

[nitrostemp]

why would you need cheats?

 

[MrCokeacola]

why would you need cheats?

Cheat 2 win!

 

[nitrostemp]

Cheat 2 win!

the only real reason i see people use the cheats feature is for speed run practice

I'm using Gameblabla's fork of Altra, even Custom Robo V2 is saving for some reason.

I recommend you guys to try the ALTRA64 OS, which is a fork of ALT64 and it's still being developed.

It's basically the same as ALT but it runs slightly faster.

Plus, it's being made specifically for the ED64 Plus (not the original Everdrive)

Я хуею.. Why all save formats (eeprom 4\16, sram, etc) Save\Load OK, but FLA didn't want (altra64 same stuff)
Btw, I have PAL console and all PAL games says "This Game is not designed for use on this system" , why?

A. You have to edit the .INI file. It's probably set to NTSC.

B. There's a switch that needs flipped to PAL.

C. The cartridge's CIC does not support PAL and can not be switched. You would have to solder in a new CIC that supports PAL.

If you're using Altra64 / Alt64, you need to press C> on the game and set tv mode / game mode to PAL (not M-PAL), for all games that aren't (E).

You can also use a softare called sPALadin to convert (U) and (J) games to PAL, but I couldn't make it work on Win10.

I have a problem with long filename .... if the filename is more than 64 caracs the rom won't load ...

Hi guys. Same problem here but with Gameblabla's Altra64... Is there any way to fix it? Filenames from GoodN64 set usualy longer than 64 characters

Mempak Tool v0.5 for the ED64: Backup, Restore, View, Format, and Clone Controller-Paks

This tool and a bunch of other useful tools by saturnu (the original developer of Alt64) are available here:

We'll need a bit more info than that. You're from Ukraine, so I assume you have a PAL N64. Is the switch flipped to the "P" position? What firmware are you using? Stock? If so, are you saving in-game, pressing Reset, and waiting until the menu loads before you power off your console?

Hello all,

I'm brand new to the N64 flashcard scene and have a question.

Looking at my budget I can afford either everdrive 2.x or the ed64

Thanks to the open-source firmware available, in guessing going with the cheaper card with suffice.

Thanks,
Sm

That's a no go. You need the controller save pak.

I ended up getting an everdrive in the end, it was on sale and only $30 more then the clone. From what I can tell Alt64 works on it too

If you got an official v2.5 or v3, there's no point in using Alt(ra)64, just update to the latest stock Krikzz firmware.

That's what I did, worked like a charm
