Thank you!!!! NOW the Super Pocket has truly earned it's name! Thanks to this patch, my Collection Builder script and EverSD work in my Super Pocket! The official 50+ carts and 500+ games can now all fit in my pocket at once! VERY "super" indeed!!!!

Okay that's quite a surprise. Isn't Evercade especially known for the fact that you can (and have to) buy physical cartridges?
I love it when devs open up their systems but I can imagine a few publishers are now salty that they developed for their device family only to find out that everyone can just use RetroArch now.

On the other hand, it's quite awesome that they kind of officially support RetroArch now and even use it in their trailer. Nintendo would never do this with the Nintendo Switch lol.

Evercade was already using RetroArch since day one.
It's just a different menu UI that they put on top of it.

With EverPatcher for the OG Evercade, EverPatcherVS for the Evercade VS and now with SuperPatcher for the Super Pocket, you can also not only use the full blown RetroArch experience, but also enjoy many other things like backing up saves and cartridges, homebrew support and many more.

Turns out you're right. Never knew this.
Gotta admit I didn't follow all that Evercade stuff that much but still interesting.
As the "digital guy" that I am, I'm better off with any chinese retro handheld anyway though. :)
