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

I don't have one, but if I did I would probably just find a "top 100 games" list for a given console and just load those + the 2 or 3 games I really care about in as a start.

A lot of people get into emulation with the attitude of "I can play every game, and they're tiny files, so I want every game!" But realistically the overwhelming majority of people are gonna play fewer than a dozen or so games on a retro consoles, and good odds most of those would find their way onto a top 100 list.
