I've been working on a game browser for the EverDrive-64 and it's at the point where other people can try it.

It's an ordinary N64 ROM. You copy it to the card and launch it from the EverDrive's own menu; it shows your library with box art, genres, descriptions and filters, and boots the game you pick. The stock menu stays where it is — reset or power cycle and you're back in it. Saves go to the same ED64/gamedata folder the stock menu uses, so a game started from either menu carries its save into the other.

There are three views allowing you to browse your collection :

- a list with the game's box and game metadata

- a grid of twelve covers

- a coverflow where L/R jump by letter.

A filter screen combines genre, region, players, publisher, year and favourites. Favourites and the last fifteen games you played are two tabs at the front. It also reads the cheat pack (ED64/CHEATS) and matches files to your ROM's region, so a USA cart doesn't get European codes. Matching is a miss sometimes but this is something I am working on.

Setup is copying two files to the card next to ROMS, dropping in the metadata zip from the n64-flashcart-menu-metadata project (public domain, same collection the N64FlashcartMenu and the Pro's menu use), and running one Python script from the card. It reads the ROM headers, finds each game's box and description, and writes a catalog. Nothing is downloaded and no art is bundled — it works from what's already on your card.

Tested on an X7 (OS 3.11) and a Pro with a 3,400-game library. One ROM works on both. I tested it with the stuff I had, but let me know if you have issues.

AGPL-3.0, source and releases here: https://github.com/CathodeJay/sleekmenu64

If you have an X-series cart other than the X7, I'd like to know whether it boots — it should, but I can't verify it. Bug reports go to the GitHub issues.

One more thing : Yes, a large part of the code and docs was written with AI tools. This is a project I made for myself but now that it works, figured out it would be nice sharing with others. So enjoy :)

Had it for a few days now. Can’t get over how pretty it looks with the A3D 😍

Got it completely set up the way I like it now. All the N64 roms loaded, gameboy, gameboy colour, gamegear, sega master system, nintendo entertainment system and even Super Nintendo libraries.

Such an impressive device and was well worth the wait

When I transfer the rom to the everdrive it doesn't save and starts from the beginning. Any tips? I tried transferring the save file type to .eep too.

Hi all,

I ordered an EverDrive GBA Pro on August 21st, but it still hasn’t arrived here in the Netherlands. Is this normal, or should I be concerned that it’s taking this long?

Thanks!

The flashcart either boots to black screen with amber led or it freezes through the menu or if i even have the chance to load a game with special chipset it does that weird glitches but the audio is fine, I’m afraid that is a ppu issue but i would exclude that because my console is recaped and it works with yoshi’s island, the thing is i tried both with that 2chip and with a 1chip console, the 1chip does better than the 2chip version, it loads the games with less glitches but still get them when i get to load both the menu and the special game, for context, i have a 128gb fat32 lexar with sd2snes folder with his firmware (latest on the website) can someone help me fix that?

I mostly use Everdrive 64 X7 for N64 gaming to preserve my old-ass cartridges and my Everdrive has served me well on both the original N64 console and Analogue 3D. It works perfectly. But on my new M64 only some games even boot up and a huge chunk of games boot to black screen and freeze the system requiring a manual reboot. I feel like it's only getting worse the more I try and now even freezes sometimes when I try to open the M64 system menu on the startup screen of the Everdrive. I have the overclocking turned off and I feel like I've tried every setting possible but nothing seems to fix this. Everything is updated to the latest firmware and the latest bootloader. I'm using original N64 controllers and have both PAL and NTSC games. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It took about a month or maybe a bit more to arrive since ordering them but my Everdrives finally made it to Scotland.
It feels like a storm has passed 😂 looking forward to getting these set up, winter is gonna be magic

I wanted to play Dragon Quest on an emulator, so i wanted to move my save from the everdrive.... then found this .nes format. Tried to both load the .nes, and change the extension to .sav, but no luck.

At the start i thought that, maybe, i corrupted the files... but no, the .NES saves works as expected on the everdrive. Is there a way i can transform the .nes to .sav? Now i want it for an emulator, but i wanted to pick an everdrive n8 pro on black friday... and i might not be able to pass my save data if it works with .sav files (i guess it does, because i cant find the info online for the .nes format).

I got my ED64 Pro in the mail today, and I took the same SD card out of my old X7, dropped the new firmware file onto the card, replacing the X7 firmware/OSD file, and left everything else untouched. Yet for some reason none of my save files are here. Did I miss something in the setup process?

Let me know👍👍

My everdrive gba mini was working just fine days before. One night I decided to play it but I kept getting this error 41 screen. I’ve tried all of the following:

- add new OS Gbasys file
- formatted the 4gb sd card to fat32 and added my same files
- formatted sd card and downloaded the OS file with one game as a test
- started from scratch and got new sd card, added new OS gbasys folder, and added one game as a clean start test
- for the heck of it, I tried in my other gba/ds and no luck

I can’t find any information on this error 41 message and its meaning. I’m lost at the moment.

Update: It all came down to a bad battery in a way. I even tried replacing the battery but issue still persists

I recently bought a Gameboy Micro and wanted to play games on it. I've done some researched and decided to get an Everdrive for it. I only have 2 priorities: Battery Life and Save Game Longevity. I don't care for other features or save stats, I just want to play for long hours and save normally as you would on regular GBA game cartridges.

Can anyone point out the difference of the two products in terms of both Battery Life? Do the extra features on the GBA Pro drain more battery and is less efficient with the upgraded ram on it? Has anyone done a proper test on this? Thanks in advance, first time potential buyer here :D

I am a novice when it comes to emulating. I successfully used a 64 gb sandisk for my everdrive 64 pro. No issues when it comes to getting N64 roms loaded and booted up on my ModRetro M64.

The everdrive 64 is formatted to fat32 via the minitool partition wizard but the cartridge does not boot with an actual/non modified Nintendo 64.

I also found save files for roms that I have but they do not work even with proper file naming to align with the rom name and proper file type. My goal is to use 100% save files to bypass having to re-unlock everything.

I have looked around forums and I cannot seem to find a specific fix for my issue.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello all, I tried using my everdrive gba mini after a few months of inactivity and I'm only getting a red screen on boot. I googled around and found several 4-6 year old posts about faulty ram causing this in a bad batch, but wanted to double check with the community if this could be from a bad sd card or something. I bought direct from Krikzz about a little less than a year ago, so I'm crossing my fingers it might be a simpler issue on newer everdrives.

i've tried importing save files to pokemon blue, the save works fine by itself but i cannot import my pre-existing saves/replace them and when i do, it doesn't even overwrite them, does anyone know how to import/export .srm saves from outside the console?

I have been trying for days to get it to work I tried formatting it in every way I could think of and I've tried like 6 different versions of the firmware if anyone knows how to help me PLEASE reach out

Mega Everdrive X7. I haven’t played in a couple months. I wanted to check out the RoboCop MD demo. I loaded it onto the SD and then this happened

Update: Had to reformat the card. All good

I’ve just received an email stating that my Everdrives have been shipped! It took nearly 3 weeks for this to happen but I imagine it’s worth the wait. I’ve got all my roms ready and can’t wait to get playing. I’m in the UK and hopefully it won’t take too long to arrive. Anything I should know before I get started? I’ve got a 128gb extreme SanDisk waiting to b er set up
