I have put off buying a NES everdrive. Might as well pull the trigger I don't think there can be any more improvements.

As for the SNES everdrive is it finally 100% rom comparable or still room for imrpovmemt?

The SD2SNES is an upgrade from the Super Everdrive and plays just about everything except for some of the special chip games. Megaman x2 and x3 work, but no Starfox or Yoshi's Island.

Lots of fakes on eBay, btw.

I like how people are shitting their tits like they missed out on something marvelous now that it's discontinued.

buy an NES and an everdrive.   JFC.

SD2SNES is the best option, it's not 100% but the handful of games that aren't supported are pretty small.  Plus the SD2SNES lets you mess around with those game/hacks that are huge and basically have full video.

EDIT: SD2SNES is also freely available though so you needn't buy through Krikzz or SAG, the design and info are out there so that anyone can build one.

I know you are joking but its good to remember that the SD2SNES uses a FPGA to mimic these special chips. It's not out of the realm of possibility that compatibility for these chips will be added in future firmware updates

While this is technically true, I believe it has been a few years since compatibility has changed for the SD2SNES, no?

Yeah, the author even mentions that including support for all cheater chips is unlikely given the power of the FPGA in the device, they were reaching the upper limit for support already give what the other additional chips do.  Really, of the handful of US games that aren't supported most are still pretty cheap if you MUST play them.

It's pretty wild playing Chrono Trigger on the SNES with the cutscenes from the PS1 version.

There are some cool MSU music hacks also.

I'd like to mix in about 3 seconds of Goku floating on a cloud into it and see if anyone notices.

Really, the only exception to this is Starfox 2.  That's a game that I'd love to play on actual hardware but given how it wasn't ever released the options are limited to flash carts or reproductions.  If the FX chip isn't supported on flash carts?  Well, that limits the options even further to a repro or nothing.

if you want FX games I heard someone has made a FX cart that has all the FX games on one cart. https://www.retrocircuits.com/product/super-fx-all-in-one/

But you might be better off just buying all the FX games you want unless you want Starfox 2 then this might work out to about even

I got the Everdrive N8 for my Famicom back in December.  I'd say it's totally worth it.  The last time I did a count, only about ~38 games were incompatible and none of them were anything I was interested in playing.  There's a list on krikkz's forum.  I was thrilled to be able to play Akumajou Densetsu with the extended audio.  It's great to play hacks on real hardware, especially all the Mega Man stuff that comes out. 

It's too bad that the FC/NES is one of those systems that just rubs me the wrong way.  I don't know if it's because I didn't have one until I was 12 years old or that many of the genres were done much better in the following generation, but I have a really hard time getting into it.
