"Firmware patch xDelta" is a dead link, can we please have it removed?

I’ll re upload it soon.

"Firmware patch xDelta with exFat support" is a pile of spamware/malware, including SAntivirus Realtime Protection (high on the malware list & doesn't uninstall when you ask Windows to do so...), and worse yet, no IMG file at the end of all those hoops for me.

Can someone please post a link with the valid IMG file & no spamware?

FYI, if you accidently clicked "yes" to installing some of the garbage in that xDelta patch, then Google for "Malewarebytes", it's a highly rated AntiMalware program, and will chuck the xDelta spamware from your pc.

What garbage? The xdelta is just a little patch file, that is only applied to the image file you specify, there is no virus or spam/malware. I’ve used it it’s fine.

We cannot host or share FIRMWARE or modified FIRMWARE on this site, it is against TOS.

Patches = ok.
Link to official firmware = ok.
Modified firmware = not ok to share here.

So, which one is it?

Because the OFFICIAL firmware I linked comes from this OFFICIAL thread:

https://gbatemp.net/review/eversd.1544/

And, absurdly, it's the second time you guys remove it for no reason.

Agreed it’s absurd, but I believe that we can only link to their officially hosted links AKA the latest firmware and not a mirror. I will remove that link, I thought I had removed it already. Apologies.

You mentioned this:

> What garbage? The xdelta is just a little patch file, that is only applied to the image file you specify, there is no virus or spam/malware. I’ve used it it’s fine.

But I cannot find the patch file at the link specified, just a piece of software that asks to install a pile of garbage software. Can you make a link with the actual patch. I'm expecting no executable or msi asking me to install software at whatever link is shared, just a simple IMG file that runs nothing on its own without the other links shared prior.

KiiWii · Apr 18, 2021

@ColonelZechs thats weird, I just clicked the link, downloaded the zip, extracted it to check and the link works fine here:

On PC the exe (UI) works fine to patch the file. No garbage, no ads or garbage.

edit:

I will re-examine these links and fix the front page shortly. Considering how many people are having such a variety of issues there may be something afoot. I’ll sort it out soon.

The IMG is in the official Evercade 1.3.1 firmware. Download from the official Evercade site.

When extracted, it's in the folder "2 EVERCADE UPGRADE TOOL" with the name "Evercade_Firmware.img".

The link goes to a shady download place. It took me a few tries before I could get the real file. It did not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Thanks. I’ll rehost them in a better place.

Wow... the support of the everSD completly sucks.. by the way its vers dangerous to flash this kind of custom firmware... i havent test this out but patching an old beta firmware to get the everSD run is just stupid and lacks of support from official and inofficial side..

KiiWii · Apr 25, 2021

Frontpage updated with BETA 3 ExFat Zip, which fixes the issue with 1.3.1 official firmware not patching in xDelta.

Check those MD5's.

@Hekel You're working for Evercade... It's already been proven before.
It's not dangerous to flash the firmware, it's literally the same as flashing the official firmware.
Old firmware? Evercade is currently on 1.3.1 and the patch that is available on the frontpage, is also 1.3.1.

So, please keep your fanboyism for yourself and don't spread bs false information...

@KiiWii Thanks for the update, tested and confirmed it working! :hrth:

Oddly, the BETA 3 won't patch for me. The BETA 2 is fine. Lol.

I couldn't get the firmware to upgrade without removing USB download gadget directly from the Device Manager.

Evercade needs to be plugged in, hold menu, turned on then the USB download gadget appears in Device Manager. Remove it and uninstall driver from there, then the older drivers will work for the firmware. I couldn't get it any other way.

KiiWii · Apr 28, 2021

@DoctorEvil8 there are two versions of 1.3.1, redownload it from the official Evercade site and use that updated one for the B3 patch.

Edit: btw, never seen that in device manager before

I only see that driver when using the new installer from Evercade. But I have to be properly connected to see it.

I'll try redownloading 1.3.1. My copy was probably from day one of release. lol

Okay, I re-downloaded the firmware. It's definitely a different size.

Now neither BETA 2 nor BETA 3 can patch it.

At least for me, I have a working BETA 2 with my original 1.3.1 Firmware. Not sure what the differences are in the different 1.3.1 firmwares. Most companies would at least change the version, even if it's a small change.

KiiWii · Apr 28, 2021

@DoctorEvil8 ok the reason it’s not working is the firmware has been update yet again…. Cat and mouse.

EDIT: Front page updated again with BETA 4.

Hi, I've just seen these updates.. but they have updated again - any chance you could please create a beta5?
(Evercade's current 1.3.1 zip md5 looks to be ff7eae3431985ec80ba7225731d9cdee)

Thanks for the help you've provided in getting this going on 1.3.1..

I'm getting an MD5 of FF7EAE3431985EC80BA7225731D9CDEE for Evercade_Updater_1.3.1.zip directly from their site

Looks like it's changed again. What exactly is changing? I've had a quick look and it looks like it's just the way the image is packaged.

The IMG MD5 is different, so Evercade ninjas appear to be silently updating the file every so often to prevent it being patchable. I’ll post when there’s an updated patch available.
