[TUTORIAL] Use EverSD on Evercade Firmware 1.3.1

Many thanks for this - So apologies but I am struggling.

I have the correct patched file ok and verified. I have followed instructions but when going through the upgrade process it says that it has failed. I have Win10 64bit.

I tried it on a clean Win7 laptop and it failed the same way.

Basically I think its either: -
1. The data cable I am using between Evercade and PC. Its brand new so not sure...
2. Do I need to use a specific version of the client (aka the program for upgrading the firmware) - Currently I am using 1.8.

Just at a loss - Once again apologies because I bet its something really simple and obvious that I am clearly missing.

Also thanks again for this.

All the best

 

Hi,i managed to flash it without problems,but now every emulators controll Settings are complete wrong.for example up is start ,l shoulder button moving right and so on.....in the menu the controlls are normal.But i cant find a way to change the button layout.

 

Hi, sorry to be a pain, is there any way to downgrade the firmware to 1.2? I've been looking for a mirror of it, but I can't seem to find one.

 

If the Rockchip Batch Tool shows you the error "Check Chip Fail", then please download the latest RKDevTool v2.79 from Rockchip's gihub repository --> /rockchip-linux/tools/tree/master/windows/ --> RKDevTool_Release_v2.79.zip
(sorry, as new member I'm not allowed to paste the URL here)

After unzipping - and assuming you can't read Chinese - you should open the config.ini and make sure the Selected Language is set to '2':


Now start the RKDevTool, select tab 'Upgrade Firmware' and click the 'Firmware' button to select the patched FW .img file.

• Click 'Upgrade' to start the upgrade process.
• Note that you have to use the v4.4 Rockchip drivers.

 

Thanks for posting these beta firmware patch releases! I just wanted to note I successfully flashed my Evercade with EverSD with them, but it impacted Atari 7800 games. The display is corrupted and you can't see those games properly, although they do seem to run with a corrupted display.

Re-flashing back to 1.2.0 firmware fixes the issue.

UPDATE: I missed the step of copying the png file the first time. I did that and now Atari 7800 games work fine.

 

Hello, I have tried both versions, the one compatible with xfat and the normal one and in both I have the same problem. The keys are not well configured in the emulators but if in the main menu, you put that you have fixed it but you have to do something to make it work well, I have tried to change the emulators but I still have the same problem. Also, many of the games give me an image error with the colors.

 

I can’t get past step one. I always get this:

"Xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_Invalid_Input"

when trying to patch the original firmware.

Is there a way to get the firmware already patched?

Thanks.

EDIT: Don't know exactly what was wrong but I finally managed to patch it. I changed the output file name to one with no spaces but I'm not sure that was it.

Anyway, waiting to have my eversd shipped to check everything works fine.

 

Same error for me:

"Xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_Invalid_Input"

I tried without spaces, different names for output file, with a newer version of delta, I tried dowloading the firmware this tutorial and from the official page again and can't patch the firmware.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

 

Hi, I have the same issue, "Xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_Invalid_Input"..
I'm trying to patch "Evercade_Firmware.img" from the Evercade 1.3.1 updater download.
From a search on this xdelta error, it suggests that the patch doesn't fit the firmware image.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks..

 

Thanks - I have tried renaming to patch.xdelta but still got the same error.
I am running with the firmware img, xdelta exes, patch etc in C:\EverSD\
Could Evercade have maybe modified the 1.3.1 image in their zip download, so the patch no longer matches?

 

Is there a problem if I upload somewhere my already patched firmware?

I haven't been able to check if it works because I don't have my eversd yet.

By the way, how long does the seller take to ship these out? I ordered mine a week ago and it hasn't been shipped yet.

 

I have tried this many times.

• I patched the firmware without issue.
• I uninstalled the newer rockchip drivers and installed version 4.4.
• I'm using version 2.79 of the RKDevTool.

• I connect my Evercade to my PC with the included usb cable (I've tried other known good ones as well, btw).
• I power up my Evercade into flash mode.
• RKDevTool says it found the loader device.
• I load the patched firmware in RKDevTool.
• I click "Upgrade" and it says "Test Device Start" but doesn't make any progress. After a few seconds it says "Test Device Fail".
• I've even tried from each of my pc's usb ports for good measure. I know the physical connections are good anyway, since I previously upgraded with the official 1.3 firmware tool.

What could be wrong?

P.S.
Does anyone have the 1.2 firmware to upload?
