Everdrive Black Friday sale today!
« on: October 11, 2017, 10:30:50 PM »
I know it's a little early, but I've just been reminded that Krikzz does a 20% off Black Friday sale on everdrives every year. Does this interest you? What are you going to get?

I bought a Game Boy Pocket on the cheap a few months ago and have been playing it pretty often. Unfortunately, the GB Everdrive doesn't always work with the pocket. There's a hardware revision on order which may or may not be available by Black Friday. If not, I'll probably buy one anyway and sell the GBP.

I was also interested in the GBA Everdrive, but it seems that Krikzz will be making a better one sometime in the future, so I may just wait another year or two to get that one. I mean, I've waited this long without playing GBA, what's another year?

I currently own all of Krikzz's stuff, so I have no need for this year's sale, but I purchases several of my flash carts through those sales over the years.  It's the best way to get a deal since used ones tend to hold their value pretty well, plus there is higher risk of getting a fake when buying used. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I bought my SD2SNES at last year's BF sale and my N8 the year before.

I already have a TED, so I'm set unless he makes a 2600 everdrive.

I wonder if the 20% will stack onto a group buy for ultra mega savings?

N8 and SD2SNES are what I would be interested in getting

SD2SNES is on my wishlist as well, but since apparently the design is open source it can be had much cheaper than purchasing through Krikzz if you look around.  If only the NeoSD or the CPS2 Multi was 20% off on Black Friday.

Stone Age Gamer typically has Black Friday sales on their flash carts as well.  I'm not sure if they will include the NeoSD or not.  Unless I'm mixed up on my dates, won't this be the first Black Friday since it was released? 


And yes, SD2SNES is open source, but the quality from other manufacturers can vary.  Krikzz is known for supporting his products, but obviously, he only supports the SD2SNES units that he made. 

I own the SD2SNES, but I rarely use the extra features that it has over the standard Super Everdrive.  In fact, the only feature that I use is the MSU1 support for the unique sound on some SNES games.  It's a cool feature, but ultimately, I still prefer the original sound.  If I was doing to do it again, I would probably just buy the Super Everdrive and save the money for something else.  My only suggestion to anyone looking at the SN2SNES is to make sure they understand what the extra features are and think about whether or not you plan to use them.  I certainly knew what I was buying, but I figured I would use those features more often than I really do.

In addition to the audio hacks, there are some really cool FMV ones too.

It's kinda crazy seeing these run on an actual SNES.

Def a good time to buy on BF from Krikzz. I'm with Nec, I have working TED(maybe some other stuff...like the Harmony) so nothing on my radar other than a SMS flash cart. I'd rather have a Mark iii form factor tho. If I recall, the SG-1000 games(the ones I care about) do not work over the PBC with a Genny.

I always heard good things about the Harmony cart. I don't think they're all that expensive.

As for the group buy, I seem to recall him saying that he wouldn't do both, but I'm not certain on that.

Also, I got the SD2SNES, and I'm glad I did just for Mega Man X, X2, and X3. While I don't expect it to happen, it's always possible that more chip compatibility will come through software updates whereas the Super Everdrive probably won't get any more.

I can't justify spending $150 USD on a SD2SNES and my flash cart needs are pretty much met currently. I think I'll be skipping the Krikzz Black Friday bandwagon this year.

So, I was debating on getting an everdrive.  Did that whole 3v/5v controversy ever have a decisive conclusion?  Is there an everdrive that will fry systems compared to one that won't?
