So I've been playing a LOT of N64 via emulators recently...However, there are a few games that either don't work or have flickering issues. I've been considering an Everdrive for a while, but the unit always seemed a bit confusing to me.
Besides being on a console vs a computer, what are the pros and cons of an Everdrive? And while not directly related, does anyone own one of the NES or SNES versions? Can you comment on those?

An Everdrive is a flashcart. If you load a ROM on it the N64 will play it as if it was the actual cart. 100% compatibility.

There's more somewhere but i can't seem to find my extra boxed gold pad & daie hawks pad.
Pretty much 90% of my N64 collection although it hasn't been played in a while as it's all in storage at the moment. Could do with some box protectors for my games.

Even with games like Conker, Gauntlet Legends, JFG, DKC64, etc?
Wow...Gorgeous stuff. The JP N64 boxes were SO much better than the US boxes. And the number of games they got vs the US is crazy.
Yes, all of them!!! Dude it's worth it, trust me, I have one and it's way better than emulation as it's the real thing all on one cart!!!

Bangin' collection!
I can vouch for this as well. Love both my everdrives for N64 and Genesis. They are painless to setup and use as well.
hell yeah
Just beware of everdrive fakes. 99% of the ones on ebay are fake, and they have severe issues, as well as bricking if you install an official firmware update on them. Luckily though, the everdrive 64 has not been faked to any extent (it's been cloned, but as a completely different design with a cart passthrough that doesnt pretend it's an everdrive).
Krikzz's official site is a good resource. http://krikzz.com/pub/support/var/everdrive-clones/
Also bear in mind with the Everdrive 64 the newest version is v3. There's not really much difference between v2.5 and v3 other than in 2.5 and below you have to press RESET on the console in order for the cart to write the save file to the SD card after playing. v3 does it automatically. Considering the £40 price difference between the two, I personally would be fine with v2.5 - I never had any issues with my old v2.

Cool collection, Impotaku. Treasure threesome represent!
Yea Nintendo's Japanese box arts always seem to be cooler for every system up to and including the GCN than any other region.
Ps what's the language barrier like on Custom Robo? I'd love to check out the series but never played it before. Is the N64 version a good place to start even if I can't read Japanese?

offered a STUPID amount of money for a majora's mask adventure set
offer declined
I thought it was reasonable based on what the last few sold for, but obviously the seller disagrees
There's your mistake. You merely offered money.
Here's what I'm thinking of offering next, in order:
LOL!

Probably old but anyone seen that - supposedly - USA retail prototype of the 64DD?

Sounds pretty legit and the owner of Assembler (not the same guy with that 64DD) says he has been sitting on a bunch of them too. More interesting is what could be on that dev disk 😮

oh man! Mother 3 assets?! i love when people find stuff on these things
Goddammit, release one to public domain already. We wanna know the secrets!!!
You could win it through some competition in the Swedish Club Nintendo magazine. I can't remember what you were supposed to do now but I do remember competing. Didn't win though. :/

No idea! I watch all of his videos, and he doesn't let us know how he got it.
I know I posted this before, and I am sorry, but it deserves a respost.

This is, without a doubt, the greatest N64-related purchase I have ever made. It has absolutely re-invigorated my interest in the N64 library and has solved the biggest issue I had with the console from 1997 right up until this very day.
I can play through all of my games now, using a Gamecube Wavebird, and it works flawlessly. The sensitivity and deadzone is spot on. The button configuration is spot on (and you can change it anyway). It's utterly amazing. The only downside is no rumble, but for £25 who gives a fuck?!
It arrived to me in the UK in three days. From canada. Have an N64? Buy this. Buy it now. It's amazing.

lololololololooooooooooooooooooool
that's exactly the same product I linked to, and that I am raving about. click my link, dude!
hahahhaa
I'm using a wired Gamecube controller though, no Wavebird or anything like that.
Edit: I linked the wrong one, this is what mine looks like:

...but it works with the wavebird too, dude. really. try it.
I have both your version and the v2 and they both work flawlessly with the wavebird and standard gamecube pads.
That's true, but I need a Wavebird again, I used to have one and don't know what happened to it.=O
I know, my son. I know.
I just want to pay through goldeneye again with a decent pad, but I don't want to pay the £30 an ntsc copy goes for on UK ebay
I would normally buy a japanese copy (£10) but I need those objectives in english!
Hahahahaha
I just accidentally knocked the cartridge inside my N64 whilst it was on, and Mario....got a bit fucked up. Took a video:

Make sure you turn the audio up to hear Mario's scream of pain as he collides with and impales himself into the tree. Couldn't get him out of it after that.

Lol. There's a video with some entertaining results when you knock the goldeneye cart. I'm on mobile and can't find it right now, but it's a music video.
Yes of course it plays them legit 1:1.
And the only difference between the two you need to be aware of is that the 2.5 requires you to press reset after playing otherwise the savefile won't be written - if you just power it down immediately you will lose progress. It's not a huge thing, but when I had a 2.0 I turned it off before hitting reset a few times and it pissed me off each time.

Your TV is the problem, not the console or cables. Looks like it doesn't support NTSC colour.
Since the TV can't interpret the NTSC colour encoding you're left with just the luma and the image displays in clean black and white.
