Turbo Everdrive

Of all the SAG Deluxe editions, I felt this one was the nicest, with the most work put into.  The case is excellent.  I was very happy to get one in the first batch.  But it's not for everyone.

 Site states that they are no longer coating them with black epoxy. Because of thickness issues, but yet they are still shooting a clear on it? Or is that clear coat from the factory already? I have experience with shooting different types of paint (including aircraft and such nasty stuffs. You can still get it here in AZ) - with stuff that's really thin (build up wise). I'm gonna look into that, when I get mine.

No, then the wife would find it and think it was a broken electronic gadget and throw it out... Damn it to hell!!!!

Keep it in your wallet at all times.  There's a reason it's card-sized.

Heh - I just got mine today

I'm thinking of getting one of those, I've been scouring ebay and turbo games are through the roof.

Well Bonknuts does it support more than 2 megabytes?

[wyndcrosser]

it supports all current games, even Street Fighter 2.

They're more interested in non-current games like SFII Turbo/Hyper Fighting.

Can you hook the everdrive up to a PC via USB and transfer games to the SD card? In other words, use it like a mobile storage device.

 Just wondering if I need the USB port.

You do not need the USB port.  Its there for Homebrewers.  Just get the board.  Micro-SD cards are easily transferred from the slot to the PC.

Cool thanks! Got one on the way!

The tension builds...

The TOS rom that loads on start, won't accept anything larger than 2.5megabytes (error 140). The card doesn't respond to anything in the $1ff4-1fff range when mapped (last bank mapped remains as is). So I have no idea why the mention 8megabyte rom support on all the TE sites. Krikzz mentioned that he thought it would load up to a 4megabyte rom, but even if I got past error 140 (probably rom size to big) - there doesn't seem to be a way to even access it. A shame really, 'cause I made a post about this before the card was released - asking for the full SF2 mapper range. Oh well.

 The other thing of interest; Populous works. Well, the original rom works. My custom rom with the same unlock codes - doesn't get access to the extended ram. Either I missed something or the TOS loader is specifically enabling that support based on some sort of rom ID process.

Damn.

Chilly Willy said he was working on a unified OS for all Everdrives and I assume that includes the TED. As a homebrewer himself he may make any space that's actually there accessible. I guess we'll see.
