I dont have any everdrive carts yet, but as prices are going to keep going up on real carts, ill probably have to. It a bummer because I really enjoy the real games (just like i enjoy having my records and cds) but its just not worth what people are asking for some of these games, especially if they are at all sought after, forget about it.

How is the ever drive experience ? Do they have an easy game browser built in? I find sometimes these type of things are annoying trying to find 1 game out of 1000 if it doesn start with "A" .

This would likely be for n64/snes/genesis

EverDrive is pretty great. The prices are definitely premium, but you do get a reliable, quality product. Just make sure you're either buying directly from Krikzz or an authorized reseller. There are a lot of clones floating around on certain sites (such as AliExpress) that are of varying quality. Additionally, the clones usually run a hacked firmware and trying to use the official firmware will brick it.

It's worth noting that the N64 and Genesis both have proper EverDrive alternatives. For the N64 there's the SummerCart64, which is an open source project and seems to have some features the ED64X7 doesn't (like 64DD support). As for the Genesis there's the MegaSD from Terraonion. I haven't used either of them, so I don't have much of an opinion on which is best.
