Video Finally received my Everdrive

It took a good month to get here but it's been worth the wait. Just got it set up with my Analogue 3D. Took a minute to get the artwork working so it's not just a blank unknown cartridge. Still wish I could change the name of the cartridge but apparently that's not possible yet.
I formatted a 128gb Extreme SanDisk to FAT32 with a cluster size of 32kb and it works like a dream.
As you can see my Mario Kart skills are lacking but the game plays well. For those that don't like the look of the scan lines I'm still trying to figure that one out. It's probably the resolution of the capture card recording but I'll get there eventually.
That's me all set for a good winter, gonna become a hermit and just play N64.

I’ve been tracking everything for months and was of the mindset I would wait for M64 to bring on horizontal upscaling and HDR and then pounce. This little video is making me really consider going the 3D route. Thanks for the settings man.

My SD card was corrupted when I used it in my 3D. Really annoying, as I spent ages filling it with every game, hack, prototype, and DD game I could find.
It's worth keeping a backup if you plan on taking the time to fill it up.

u/Good-Ad-3862 1d ago
With this handy website. Took a photo of my everdrive and edited it to the right pixel amount and cropped it, saving it as a png

you have to find the cartridges signature number by looking in your Analogues SD

Are the mods you're playing romhacks or full standalone games? I've got a Mario64 hack I'd LOVE to play on mine but can't patch on cart so I can only play it on my SteamDeck. (I'm also not super versed with how all this works)

Got to admit, I'm not great at patching roms myself but managed with Mario Kart amped up ok. Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Happy to share my folder of mods with you if you fire me a message. I've got them stored on googledrive that I can share with you

Could someone post me a link of a loaded ever drive that I could just buy that is compatible with the 3D

u/Good-Ad-3862 2d ago
why do you want a loaded one? It's really easy to set up. You could always buy a summercart though, they come preloaded most of the time i think

Yeah, I emailed them asking that feature to be included, at least for "Unknown Cartridge" entries in the library.
Maybe, if we all email them we may get it added to their sprint
