How does the make you feel Holla Forums? Have you had a classic console die on you from using a flash cart?

This is good information, thanks for sharing. I'm glad to see that all my flashcarts except my Mega Everdrive are fine for use on my systems (and it's nice to know I can downgrade the MegaED for one that should be fine). This is a great argument for why you shouldn't use cheap flashcarts.

Not a console but a handheld.
I use an "Edge" card with my DS Lite, and the charging port fucked up.

People still use multicarts?

Thanks for the info! This is why I only use and will only use emulators.

Even dumber man, there's full on hardware mods to support off drive loading for retro consoles now, you don't need multicarts.

i use the mega everdrive x3
god fucking damnit

You may be okay. He actually doesn't specifically list the x3 on the page, but more importantly he gives the okay to the x5 which uses a very similar chipset to the x3. That said if you're using a v3 (which is actually an x7) then you may run in to problems.

Fuck off

Thanks, OP. A lot of valuable information in there. I doubt I'll ever use any of those flashcarts, but they always sounded pretty neat.
