Thank you so much! I also wanted to let everyone know that if you rename this to the filename of the revision that fixed the save glitch, it works on there too! Don't get your save deleted, use this version!

I am having issues with the gameblabla loader when nothing happens if I press the c buttons, also it will freeze up If i press them a few times. if i press left shoulder I will get a mempak popup and if I press Z ill get an info display about the loader. Is anyone else having these issues? I am using the red cart from aliexpress.

I've just bought an ED64 Plus (the one which doesn't require a cart in the top) and I bloody love it!
I want to play some hacks but each time I boot it I need to manually select the save type. Is there a way to edit the save database similar to the way you can on the Everdrive? I've searched the SD that came with it but I can't find a save db anywhere!
Also,
Sorry, I don't have an answer for your question, but does anyone know what is the definitive 2020 method for using custom firmware on ED64 Plus? Should I install the gameblabla one or the original Alt64 one? It seems many people including bum2kev are having issues with custom firmware on ED64 Plus...

Did you create a directory called 'MEMPAKS' in the root directory?

Compatibility will depend on the UltraCIC the flash cart has. flash carts with later UltraCIC editions do not need AP patches. I tested these OS versions on a 2012 clone with an original CIC-NUS-6102A.
alt64_v1823: some Aleck ROMs do not work, font can not be changed, folder change lags a bit
Gameblabla: AP patched ROMs do not work (e.g. Tooie), the menu's C buttons are inconsistent (if the window does not pop up, then back out and try again), CIC and save settings needs to be manually set for each Aleck and DD64 game
altra64_bbsan: AP patched ROMs do not work (e.g. Tooie)
altra64_nwfusion: AP patched ROMs do not work (e.g. Tooie)

I did end up discovering that one of my 3rd party Memory Paks does not work with the homebrew apps, but still works in-game (and Memory Card Menu). I hypothesize that the homebrew memory card managers have to be programmed to detect the 3rd party's saving/loading protocols for their Memory Paks.
In the Mempak Tool, you need to:
- 'Copy Mempak:' 'Backup MEM' to load it to RAM.
- 'ED64 only:' 'Backup SD' to save from RAM to SD.
You can also use Gauntlet Legends to format your memory card if the other options don't work.

It's okay now. I didn't know I had to use the option "Backup SD".
I thought I was supposed to use the option "Backup MEM" and then i got file *.mpk in MEMPAKS folder.
Thanks buddy, everything its fine now, i can backup my memory card save state games with my cheap (half the price compared to the original controller pak) 3rd party controller pak

Hi people. I'am an owner of the ED64 plus and i'm asking... There's a way to save games that require a Mempak without having a physical one?
Like creating one onto the SD card?

Nope not to my knowledge. But when/if you do get a memory pak you only need 1 as you can back it up to the SD when it gets full.

Thank you! I'm having problems in displaying correctly the NTSC games on my "Newest" HDTV (is a Samsung full hd from 2010): i have a Pal n64 with a composite cable (the best connection on an unmodified PAL console, but i'm wiating for an ULTRAHDMI): alla the colors are wrong, with a red dominance:
The funny thing is that an even older HDTV (12 years old, only hd ready max 720p) handles them perfectly.
It seems that the newset one struggles with ntsc games.
Any hint and tips? I have also tried to force the game from the submenu of the ed64 in pal but nothing changes,
P.S. I'm running the alternative firmware modded from the original Everdrive.

Thank you again.
As i said, i have the modified firmwafre from the original everdrive.
Which other things can i do with this cart other than boot n64 roms?
Uhhh, play NES roms... use that one homebrew controller app... idk. I still use the stock firmware as I use my ED64 as a dedicated WCW/WWF playing machine.
What I do is keeping a smaller SD card with the original OS and the roms that don't work on Altra64. I even taped the SD card on the N64 só I won't lose it lol.
I also recommend you guys to search for games that need specific patches to work on everdrives, like most Rareware games. There are full romsets out there with these games already patched (like Donkey Kong 64 .n64 for example). The official ED64 forum has a thread about it.
hello,
I have an old ED64+ (with cartridge on top), and now a new (with switch NTSC/PAL)
all my test give me same results on 2 cartridges
Tested:
OS 1.28 (original)
saturnu OS:
ALT64 01823
OS_ALT64 - v0.1.8.23 by saturnu Code engine by Jay Oster_Fabo334 (can see it on ED64+ web site)
ED64plus custom firm, from the reddit post (can see it on this thread)
Alt64 by Netinirvana
ALTRA64_FORK_GAMEBLABLA_ED64P_ONLY
altra64_bbsan
altra64_nwfusion
important note:
I'am on a PAL system, PAL screen;
on original OS:
menu is flickering, and has bad colors
all PAL games seems to work fine,
some NTSC are unplayable due to the flickering screen (DK,tony hawk,star wars racer,killer instinct...) (and bad colors) (not for all)
Goldeneye X works, goldfinger too (but too dark on some levels)
I manage to use mempak by using saturnus tool.
on ALT64 OS:
menu is good looking
a lot of PAL games need to be force launching with PAL settings (TV+ game region) or I may encounter a "wrong region screen error"
NTSC games launch, but I get too screen flickering and bad colors (not for all). it seems to be same propotion that original OS
Goldeneye X doesn't work (black screen), goldfinger works.
on the reddit post for ED64plus custom firm, they say that SM64 hacks and goldeneye X works with a combination of address editing and or an experimental ED compatibility patcher.can't see how.
menu is sluggy, and very sluggy for ALTRA firms
which is actually the best firm for ED64+ for you actually (in particulary for PAL system)?
does someone manage to get Goldeneye X working on alt64 OS ?
does somenone have a collection of working saves for ED64 (not emulators)
