Where to put bios files on new megadrive pro?

I just ordered a MegaDrive Pro. I haven't received it yet, but I'm getting my files ready to put on an SD card. The manual on Krikzz's site said that the firmware is already on newer carts so I only have to put the rom files on the card. But where do I put the bios files? Do I just create a folder called "Bios"? Thanks.

RELEASE: N64ever - the definite flashcard menu based onN64FlashMenu-N64ever

https://github.com/bjerreman/N64FlashcartMenu-N64ever

Noobs: download sc64menu.n64 and put it on the root folder of your SD card.

Here are the highlight:

  • Favorites Grid is the home screen — a masonry layout of cover art, not a file list.
  • Universal "More" menu (R) — one menu for everything: launch, favorite, per-game art, grid settings, hardware, history, settings, file browser.
  • Inspect popup (A) — cover + a 2+2 metadata block (name/developer over date/region) and a scrollable description sized to fit without scrolling for most games; sits on top of the grid.
  • Shrink-wrapped File Browser popup — favorite ROMs (single or whole folders), launch, with a live favorites counter. Full file management (Copy/Move/Paste, Delete, Rename + Create folder via an on-screen keyboard), reachable even in an empty folder.
  • ROM boot — optionally boot a chosen ROM on power-on after a cancellable art countdown (userland, no firmware autoboot; hold START at boot to disable).
  • 60 fps render with per-frame animations tuned to match; grid Tile: Square/Box sizing.
  • Great metadata support - don't sweat it.
  • Built-in text database — 445 games with title/developer/dates/description (100% have a title + a back-of-box description). Binary-searched by 3-char base code.
  • Special editions — ROMs that reuse another game's NUS code (e.g. OoT Master QuestSmash Remix) get their own name/date/description + art, matched on the filename.
  • Build-type labels — Demo / Prototype / Beta ROMs are recognised from their filename dump tags and flagged in Inspect (so a missing cover reads as "this is a demo", not a bug).
  • Blank-cart placeholders — an uncovered game shows a realistic label-removed N64 cart (or 64DD disk) instead of a generic placeholder.
  • 64DD disc support — expansion discs (e.g. F-Zero X Expansion Kit) link to a base cartridge; the link is a manual, per-region disclink config (English ⇄ Japanese cache independently), and launching an unlinked expansion disc from Files offers to link it.
  • Animated screensaver — idle cover-art marquee; also used as the live background of the redesigned Menu Information (one scrollable list in a rainbow popup, N64ever logo on top).
  • Cancel/abort — B aborts a folder-favorite (full undo) or an A-Z sort mid-run.
  • Game Metadata register — on-device diagnostic of which art/text sources exist per game.
  • Custom splash — user PNG as the boot splash.
  • Everything is a popup over the grid (except a few deliberately-black screens).
  • 2048-favorite cap.

Much love,
Bjerreman

Evergenesis Setup

I bought this Mega Evergenesis for a guy at a convention. I was under the impression that it was already set up and had games loaded on it, but I'm starting to think that is not the case. The manual for the EverDrive-MD V3 (which I do not think is the same thing) suggests that the 132 error means that games are not loaded, but the cart already seemingly already has folders that sort the games. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do I need to supply my own emulation files? If I need to supply my own, does anybody know a good source of Genesis emulation files?

Gba elink help

Is anyone still using these?

Trying to get this thing updated.

I'm running windows 8.

When I turned the game boy on the computer updated it as an unknown device.

I got the elink2 software to work but it doesn't recognize the cart.

Need help setting up Everdrive GBA Pro

UPDATE: So I realized the issue. I got it on an auction site that sells returns. Someone bought it, swapped the labels with their GBA mini, and returned it. I would like to have words with this person.....

I've already ordered one straight from the official site, and luckily, I can return this one.

Original Post:

I just got a GBA Pro, and when following a guide to set it up, I realized the pro folder on the site does not have a zip file for the gbaos, only the original does. I can run it on the original os, but it is missing features. I am losing my mind trying to find the right firmware, since I can't run an efu file on the original series gbaos.

I can run games without issue, but can't access the in game menu. Any help?

FxPakPro requiring forcing Power button?

With a normal big SNES, normal cartridges work great. But when I put the FXPak Pro in the cartridge slot, when I slide the power button up it requires more force then usual and pushes the flashcart back a bit. Is this normal? It still turns on and everything seems normal

GBA Pro Everdrive, questions

Hi All,

I have tried to read back thru several postings and follow the threads, but I am still having issues setting up my new GBA Pro Everdrive Cartridge on my GBA SP.

Here's a link to photos of my file structure. https://imgur.com/a/9qjBbFg

I have emulators named correctly in the emu folder, and I have folders for different game systems with a single ROM in them for testing purposes. GB, GBA, NES etc.

Emulators I'm using are: Jagoomba Color for .gb and .gbc files, PocketNES for the .nes, and goomba for .gba

When I select a game rom for GB or NES, it just pops up "File Ops" instead of "Start Game"...

Any guidance on what I'm doing wrong?

I have to leave for work shortly, so if I don't respond until thisevening, that's why...

I really appreciate any guidance and help! :) Thank you!!
