Im totally happy with the Mega Everdrive X3 and it works flawlessly with my Mega Drive 2 every game that i have tested works like a charm. If you have an small budget you will be absolutley happy with the X3. It plays Mega Drive, Genesis and 32X Files (Sega 32X required for 32X Games). And as an Bonus you can even play sega Master System Games too.
The reason for this post is that there’s not any good tutorials/guides on how to set this up.
When I write things in quotes, you should use what’s between the quote signs, and EXACTLY like i’ve written it.

The first thing you’ll need is the cart (EDN8: Stoneage Gamer, Retrogate), an SD card, and a computer that can access the SD card.
When you have those things you can just follow these steps to get it working.

- Format SD Card
This step is important, because it’ll remove any file system errors on the card.
Krikzz himself recomend you just use windows to format cards and copy roms. - Make Firmware folder on SD Card
create a folder on the root of the SD Card, and name it “EDFC” - Download & Extract Firmware
The best place to get this is from the manufacturer’s site (krikzz.com) (Direct link to EDN8 Firmwares)
Download the latest firmware, and extract it to the EDFC folder on SD root. - Make folder for roms
Make a new folder on SD root, anme it whatever you like, and put the roms in it. - Safely eject SD card, and put it in your EDN8
- Put EDN8 in NES
- Power on your NES
If NES power light just keeps blinking, the EDN8 isn’t set to your region. To fix this, just press the RESET button on your NES repeatedly 5-7 times. - Play games:
open folders/select files with “B” button
go back with “A” button
start previously loaded game with “START” button
open menu with “SELECT” button
go up / down file lists with “Up” / “Down”
next / previous page in file list is accessed with “Left” and “Right”
