    Black person the x7 doesn't need the reset to save

      He's saying he wants a clone of the X7 to be made so he doesn't have to reset to save. Current clones are based on the cheaper, old Everdrives that needed to reset to save.

    I don't even have a working reset button. It's been caved inside the N64 for 18 years or so.

      I guess you only need to press reset when you're finished playing right? So you essentially need to get into the habit of pressing RESET -> Power Off when you're done as opposed to just pressing Power Off?

        Basically. It's a minor inconvenience, especially given the consoles these carts are for need you to touch a nearby spot on the system to power off anyway. Same deal with Everdrive GBX7 vs GBX5.

        X7 costs twice as much as an X5 because it has a real-time clock (only about a dozen games use it, like two of which left Japan, both of which you have no real reason to play on original hardware outside of nostalgia purposes, all of which have workarounds in-game in case your battery is dead or missing), save-states (at that point why aren't you emulating?) and an in-game menu (even less convenient than just resetting the cart). It's fluff to make it seem "more complete" but isn't worth shit. The GBX7 can't even claim it covers all games because it lacks Kirby Tilt n Tumble's gyroscope.

        The reset-to-save is bad in that you can't save once the battery dies.
        Except you can just buy a replacement battery for way cheaper and it'll work fine.

          I think you're confused. There is no battery on the SRAM, that's why you have to reset to save so that the SRAM stays powered while the ED boots and commits the contents of the SRAM to a file on the SD. The ones with the battery ALSO only commit when the menu boots but thanks to the battery they can hold your saves even if you hard powered off and then commit on first boot. When the battery dies you can just revert to reset-to-save until you get a chance to replace it.

        Lmao.
        Even a stingy gamer spends ~$200 for 20 games. If you want better quality than emulation and you've got more than 20 N64 games you want to play again, an Everdrive is reasonable if not cheap. Even an insanely frugal person could afford flashcarts for the systems that need them.

        Related question, what systems does Ganker swear by on playing via flashcarts? I feel like SNES emulation is so precise that it's not worth bothering with physical anymore, but Megadrive and N64 absolutely need it.

          N64 is the only system (that ive owned) that a flashcart is a must. I have one for the sega genesis just because there's a lot of good games for it, but emulation is just fine

            It's fine if you want to play a game from start to finish, but Genesis sound emulation will forever be bad and is the main reason to own one if you enjoy the music on that console.

              thats a good point, i own an early gen HDG model just for the superior sound chip.

                Same. Was just listening to some music on it last night from SOR1 and Moonwalker in fact while I was doing some work on the PC for a little bit. 🙂
                I guess really, you need at least one of the Model 1s before the last revision of it as well if you want the best quality. That VA7 + Model 2s just don't do it justice.

                I have a VA5 which is in the safe zone for sound chips. growing up we had a model 2, which when plugged into a shitty tv with coax you dont really notice the sound but when i hooked it up the stereo system and heard how awful it was, that was when i had to find a model 1

            Pretty much all Nintendo consoles are prohibitively expensive to collect for by now unless you're really lucky and frugal. SD Gecko or a Wii with Nintendont is a must for Gamecube too, the only console I can think of with even more ungodly-expensive games is the Saturn.

              if you didn't know there's now the SD2SP2 for loading games from a microSD without taking up a memory card slot.

                have they updated SWISS to be able to load from the expansion port yet? that was the only thing preventing me from using theSD2SP2.

                I have a Gecko modded Cube and a SWISS minidvd.

    I don't understand why reset-to-save is considered such a problem? Do you think you need to reset your console EVERY time you save or some shit? You just need to reset back to the menu ONCE just before you switch the console off to commit the SRAM to SD. That's it.
    The difference with the X7 is that the battery allows this commit to be deferred until the console is powered on again, it's still fundamentally the same process. Nothing is committed to SD card until you get back to the menu.

    Resetting to save is based, it lets you cheese Majora's Mask's shitty save system so you don't have to start a new 3 day cycle if you frick up one of the sidequests.
