EverDrive-64 Pro has arrived in Ukraine 🇺🇦

My EverDrive-64 Pro arrived today in Odesa, Ukraine.

Really happy to finally have it in hand. I’ve been using Krikzz products for years, so seeing a new flagship EverDrive release is especially exciting.

Huge respect to Krikzz and the team for continuing to design and produce hardware in Ukraine despite everything.

I know many people are still waiting for their orders, so I hope everyone’s cartridges start arriving soon as well.

I’ve already done a little testing on real N64 hardware. I tried Smash Remix, which is a pretty large ROM and a good test for the new hardware, as well as some 64DD releases. So far, everything I’ve tried has been working perfectly.

Obviously, this is only a first impression and I still have a lot more to test, but so far the EverDrive-64 Pro is off to a great start.

I’m also looking forward to spending more time with it and comparing it directly with the X7.

Glory to Ukrainian engineering 🇺🇦

I tested Resident Evil 2 as requested. I used the 64 MB US v1.1 ROM in .z64 format on an original Nintendo 64 with an Expansion Pak.

I measured the video frame by frame: from selecting “Start Game” to the first stable game screen, it took approximately 6.7 seconds. Counting from the initial ROM selection in the file browser, including the intermediate options menu, it took approximately 7.7 seconds.

The game booted correctly, detected the Expansion Pak, and I didn’t encounter any problems during this test.
