Title: New Turbo Everdrive Core
Post by: Keith Courage on February 05, 2025, 04:05:20 AM
This is an awesome option for those with working CD drives. https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/turbo-everdrive-core.html

If ever my current TED dies, maybe I'd go with the new Core model, or maybe go for the Pro, I'm not sure.... I do still like my CD systems.

Surprisingly affordable.

At $99, it's an interesting middle ground between the (relatively) cheap $59 regular everdrive and the $199 pro.  If you want all the bells and whistles and plan to use it on a Duo, you can save some good scratch.

The pro is a bit pricey but cheaper than when the Mega Everdrive Pro came out. Also, sucks I have to mod my Duo to get it to work. Mod doesn't seem that bad though. The core version seems pretty nice. I still have a V1 Everdrive lol! The Core version would be nice with the Arcade Card support and Ten no Koe saves support. My original Kisado converter has issues with large HuCards like my Arcade Card Duo, SF CE. The pins aren't tight so I have to slide some thick paper underneath the HuCards to make contact or I get graphic glitches.

I am in the dark as to pricing these days, but my Mirai adapter doesn't exhibit those issues. But you probably know that already lol

This is the way.

I have/had the same problem with my old Kisado. I even put some tape on the bottom on the ACD to help out (and maybe the SFII card also). Kids these days with their Misters will never know the struggle of tape and cardboard!
