EverDrive GBA Mini

Bought this to play my collection on without having to switch cartridges and many of the batteries in the originals are no longer working. GBA worked after installing the OS from the krikzz website. Gameboy and GBC took a little work. Had to install 2 separate copies of goomba color to the gbasys/emu folder. Renamed the first gb.gba and the second gbc.gba and it works perfectly. Took me the better part of 2 hours to figure that last part out

I got this after being impressed with the GB X5 for my Game Boy Color. Its great, it runs everything from GBA games down to GB Color and original Game Boy games, and even has options for emulators for the Sega Master System and Game Gear, which also work. It takes some time to set up and instructions for doing so, especially for the emulators are hard to find online and arent always right, but once you figure it out its fine. For instance, the video I watched had you download the original version of Goomba for the old Game Boy. Dont do this, saving will not work. Instead, duplicate the file for Goomba COLOR and name one gb.gba and the other gbc.gba. The UI is pretty intuitive and you can sort your games however you want. Absolutely worth it for extending the life of your GBA. Ive tested it in my original GBA, my GBA SP and my DS Lite.

Works out quite well to play multiple titles without bringing all my carts

Some everdrive minis were giving red screens during boot like 2 or 3 years ago due to bad solder joints, and the one I got in march 2023 was somehow one of those. According to all the forum and reddit posts it is a manufacturers defect that was supposedly corrected, but whatever seller is shipping these out is still using the broken ones occasionally (or always?) My everdrive doesnt boot in a GBA, SP, or GB player on my gamecube. It will boot to a red screen even without an SD card

If youre even remotely thinking about it and have the ability to do so, get it.

Works great and allowed me to play all my childhood favorites!

If youre going to sell this product at least have a manual how to install your software on this. Because this is a good product

So far everything is great and Analogue did an awesome job making a host device for this. This really helps bring back the memories, Minish Cap is the best Legend of Zelda ever! The UI is as good as a flash cart can get.

For paying $120 for $0.50 of materials, I expected the battery to at least be somewhat full when I got it, and not cause the system to not boot 75% of the time. After replacing the battery, it works great!

Great product
