Can you please share a screenshot of the root of your microsd card, and the 'game' directory?

There must be something going wrong....

Hi, this are screenshots of the card. Today restarted from scratch but still the same.

Can you try the following:
Flash official firmware.
Patch with latest EverPatcher.
Insert any official game in the system and try it out first
Then insert EverSD and try one more time.

It should work

I tried this morning but for unknown reason the patcher is giving me error. (couldn`t dump rootfs). Till yesterday was working fine. I don`t know why.

@esmith13 did it fix your problem?

I will be able to run the new patcher on mine and test it out tomorrow. I'll post here then - good or bad.

EDIT: All is well with my evercade after applying the updated patch. All button presses register as expected now.

I want to thank the developer of EverSD for the help I received regarding the problem of weird colors and button mapping. Developer of the cartridge was very helpful and with his help my problems were solved. Thanks

I can confirm that the new patcher fixed the pressed buttons not being registered problem!

I gotta say, I am happy I were persistently "crying" about this problem. Who knows how long it would've been before for the problem was fixed otherwise.

Is there a way to adb into the system and modify the system files like there must be a controls file in there some ware?

not that this actually answers your question but in case you were unaware, evercade's controls are a "keyboard", so it's possible everything in the OS (like the stock UI) may have hard coded inputs - like an application that accepts CTRL-P as a shortcut to print a file, for example...

I'm convinced it's corrupt, the hardware seems fine when you press the buttons, I need to decide weather to take it apart or not, really don't want to to be honest lol

Do you have a Micro USB OTG adapter that also allows charging/power? If you do, you can hook up a standard USB keyboard directly to evercade and test all inputs. If it was software corruption, I would think the keyboard inputs that correspond to the evercade's built in controls (again, also a keyboard) would respond exactly like you are experiencing. If the external keyboard works when the device's own buttons don't - then it would be hardware, no?

Ok I will give it a go, what firmware version to use any?

Now that inputs are fixed - I can't see why anyone would bother with anything older than 1.3.1 w/ EverPatcher 3.1

I *think* it would work on 1.2.0 with the current EverPatcher, but I personally only tested it with 1.3.1.

I tried it but it never powered the Keyboard

you need an OTG adapter that ALSO allows you to plug in whatever you charge the Evercade with at the same time. Evercade will not supply power to USB devices for you.

Ok I see if I can sort something thanks

So I got the cable you was talking about but the Keyboard still never came on strange

Have you run a recent version of EverPatcher? I think it adds OTG support.
