Or a whole console. And one can always get an emulator for free. That doesn't mean there is no place for premium hardware options.
And the EZ Omega has rumble. Krikzz fuckin' up on that.
This may be a crazy suggestion but you can simply not buy it. You're not entitled to his hardwork and support. His carts are the gold standard and the price reflects that.
The SummerCart 64 beats the Everdrive X7 all day every day, in every category for 1/3rd the price. So that's not even remotely true.
One exception. Lol. When you buy an Everdrive you know it's going to work. The compatibility, power draw, build quality. The support. I hope you're just pretending to not understand. Most flashcarts are built like shit and provided in a "well it works enough" state. Take EZ Flash for example. Their best product is the Omega DE. It feels flimsy, cheap, and it's got fair QC at best. And that's their best product that's the closest to the ED GBA. Literally everything else they sell is terrible.
isn't the acekard2i, vanilla ez flash gba, ez flash jr, stargate, considered really good? (i know acekard2i isn't made by ez flash) i'm personally not a fan of like two of ez flashes products but saying most of their stuff is "works well enough" is pretty disingeneous, nevertheless i'd rather stick with ez flash than pay 50% more for a product that introduces 2 features that only like 3 games use, but alright.
That's a really tricky thing. So far the Everdrives lack basically all of the extra features except for RTC. The Game Boy had so many additions. Rumble, motion etc. Where are these features? Yeah, of course you can patch the ROMs to not use them. But that's not the real experience then.
The Acekard lineup always succumbed to PIN contact issues. Every iteration I had of that god awful card required a piece of paper or some type of shim after a few weeks. Your list is fine, but not considered really good if I'm being honest.
Lmao. No, not at all. Both were abandoned and have a list of issues.
Krikzz dropped the ball on the GBA Pro by not including rumble. It would have easily outclassed all the other carts out there, but they fucked up by omitting the best feature.
I have many EZ-Flash products, some of them are almost 20 years old (back then everdrive didn't even exist) and all of them still work. Ofc I had to replace two or three batteries, but that's expected.
EDGBA also has QC issues if you take a look at the official everdrive forums. You simply don't see them here because people post about them somehwere else. It's not really possible to compare the reliability of both of them without knowing how many units each one sold.
You're arguing against stuff I never said. I didn't say you specifically begged for an Everdrive clone or that EZ Flash is one (probably would be better though considering the EDGB clones vs the EZ Flash Jr). But someone in this thread did. As for the software it's simple and it works. Please don't tell me your average person would know what half those options mean. "WTF is a B mode? Let me read the poorly translated manual." Everdrive is simple and basic. Here's a menu. Choose a game. That's it. As for QC... The Everdrives are pretty ubiquitous. I've heard far more issues with EZ Flash's carts than I ever have with Krikzz. But you don't even need to "trust me bro". Literally just look and feel both of them. The Omega feels cheap and flimsy. It looks cheap and flimsy. The components aren't as good. The Jr literally uses twice the power of the Everdrive. Lol.
