The Everdrive supports Save States officially, whereas the PowerPak's save state support only comes with 3rd party mappers. fds disk images.īoth the PowerPak and Everdrive N8 support the entry of five Game Genie codes, but the Game Genie functionality does not work with every PowerPak mapper set. One exception is FDS games, both flash carts require pressing reset to save data onto the. Also, the PowerPak used to (and may still) require that the user create a blank save file, the Everdrive creates a new file automatically. The PowerPak requires a reset to the menu. It has a replaceable coin battery to allow this function to work. With the PowerPak the jail bars are quite noticeable, although it is not as bad as a NES Top Loader.įourth, the Everdrive supports automatically backing up saves to its RAM. (real cart) on a front loader, but I can barely notice them on the Famicom AV with the Everdrive loading Super Mario Bros. I can see faint jailbars (sitting three feet away from a 19" CRT TV) in the blue background of Super Mario Bros. With the PowerPak, there are faint jailbars present whereas on an Everdrive they are much less noticeable. Third, the Everdrive N8 has an advantage in picture quality over the PowerPak. Krikzz's 60-72 pin converter is excellent and fits inside a NES cartridge shell very well. The best one is too thick for the cartridge connector, and the rest use the cheapest plastic covers, have no supporting cover, and do not connect all the necessary pins or their edge pins are too short. You can use the PowerPak on a Famicom or Famicom AV, but all the 72-60 pin converters I have tried are very poor. If you wire Famicom connector pin 46 to NES front loader pin 51 or NES top loader pin 54 and solder the appropriate resistor to your system, you should be able to obtain expansion audio from your NES. You can get the best of both worlds here. You will only need to slightly modify a standard NES cartridge shell to make the two boards fit.
Krikzz sells a 60-72 pin adapter that will allow you to use the Famicom version inside a NES. The Famicom version supports mixing external audio emulated in the cartridge with the Famicom's internal audio. You can see the LED showing the cartridge's operation.
Krikzz even sells translucent Famicom cartridge shells. Second, it comes in a Famicom variety, which is awesome for those of us with a Famicom AV. SD cards are supported up to 32GB and it supports FAT16 or FAT32. They do not connect to a pin connector, so it is much less likely you will damage the connector. SD cards are cheaper and easier to find then the Compact Flash carts that the PowerPak supports. First, it uses SD (NES version) or microSD (Famicom version) cards. The Everdrive N8 has several advantages over the PowerPak. Unlike most of his Flash Carts, the Everdrive already had serious competition from the NES PowerPak, released in 2007.Īdvantages compared to the NES PowerPak : Early in 2013, Krikzz released his Everdrive N8, the latest in the famed Everdrive series.
