Just use the tried and true method of leaving the system on for 6 months straight.

Uh, the MasterEverdrive X7 has save state support.
for real? like, solid stable ones or the booty ones thatâd fail half the time on the old mega ED firmware?
*just checked the amazon listing:
. Save States function and In-Game menu function (Due the hardware specifics, in-game menu and save state function does not work with Japanese Mark-III and Genesis/MegaDrive with Power Base Converter).
damn, now im really bummed about my old one not doing that 
okay so my everdrives are all up to date (sans sd2snes - PC wont read the SD for some reason but itâs working!)
so now that theyâre good: the N8, Mega ED & SD2SNES all have some form of savestates now yeah? how do you go about setting up/using them on those?
For the Mega Everdrive(which I have), push down and start, and itâll let you go to a menu that has a save state option. The SD2SNES needs a certain firmware(like 1.8 that has that feature) that allows save states and youâll be able to press Start+L to use save state and Start+R to load save state. As for the N8, you can manually set it up, but the default is down and start to save save state and up and start to load save state.

In general I love the everdrives (GB + GBA) I have but the V2 Everdrive 64 I have just doesnât work. Iâve tried roughly 10 SD cards formatted in every way I can but I canât get it to work. More frustrating is that it did work back when I bought it but I reused the SD card ages ago for something else. Hesitant to buy another one because from what I read the SD card reader Krikzz wrote is still very particular for the other versions. Frustrating!
Iâve resorted to just buying up a bunch of carts instead but since my console is PAL they will all perform worse than the NTSC versions I could be playing.
Where to buy Everdrives these days? Stone Age Gamerâs crap, Amazon wonât post to Australia now, and the official site closed. Retrogate only has some old dregs.
Might even get a chinese pirate one because at least the postage is reasonable and possible.
How about Ebay, itâs where I got my Mega Everdrive from.
Ripoff supreme it seems.
I sold a few of mine earlier in the year in a cash grab, assuming I could pick them up from Krikz again easily, well that plan didnât work out lol
Iâve got an X7 that Iâm willing to sell to put the money towards the Mega SD, Iâm based in Australia and purchased it directly through Krikzz if youâre interested?
Well, I got mine from retro_saikou on there and he seems like a reliable seller.
for regular sd2snes, is there a more stable firmware supporting save states? Iâm using 1.8.0-frs7v8.1 and its buggy, music keeps playing over loads and crashes keep happening
also canât access Mega ED in game menu but apparently thatâs my fault for wanting my 32x plugged inâŚuggggghhhhh
Why not amazon? Thatâs the official store now.
Nah thanks, itâs a 64 and a basic Game Boy Iâm likely looking at again soon. And eventually a SD2SNES.
Amazon wonât post to Australia now.
What?!
Checks Krizzâs site.
NOOOOOOO!!! I am worried the black friday deals are going to go away now. I really wanted to buy some this year.
I just ordered an ED64 from Everdrivestore.com which is one of Krikkzâs resellers. Their prices are the same and the carts donât look like the putrid Stoneagegamer versions.
It should show up next week with any luck
I wonder if it got too difficult (too much work/micro managing/customer service) to get stuff out of Ukraine. BF 2016 I got my stuff before Christmas. Last year it was mid Feb iirc (West Coast US).
Ah man, RIP Black Friday deals
He never did it himself. Mentioned on twitter that he was switching to a new fufillment company and web store so thatâs probably what everdrivestore is.
There will likely still be black friday sales.

From what I can see via tracking my cart shipped out of NY.
Ukraine to Australia wasnât too bad it would usually take about 2 weeks sometimes less.
