Not without patches.

Not without patches.

It took me all of 2 minutes to patch banjo tooie and JFG. I don't doubt the 64drive is very nice but saying it is "way better" is a stretch.

I honestly hadn't looked at the ED64 for awhile, and it's come a long way compatibility-wise since I'd seen it last. Adding support for the 6105 was a big part of that, didn't know they'd added that. Also, last time I checked, I'm pretty sure they didn't support all save types, which they now do. So yes, I suppose now it is a stretch to say the 64Drive is "way better", though personally, as a hardware guy myself, I do appreciate the effort made in attaining 100% compatibility in hardware, rather than relying on software hacks to work around the lack of hardware support, though at this point, I'll concede it probably isn't worth the extra money.

These are the places you can buy the Everdrive64 . I bought the deluxe edition from stoneagegamer which comes with a CIC chip already installed, shell, and I added an 8gb SDHC card. You can buy just the board with CIC if you want. You can also get support on the ED64 (including how to patch certain games, a mempak tool, etc) on the Everdrive64 forum on assemblergames.

You can buy the 64Drive here. You can also check out the features page on that same site.

I will tell you though, qwertymodo, that the GUI on the 64Drive is MUCH nicer than ED64. I've asked Krikzz before about implementing browsing covers on the ED64 and he said it wouldn't be too difficult so I hope one day it happens.

Isn't there a cart for it or something?

Are you looking to play Import games?

If so, I believe a Gameshark or Action Replay would do the trick.
