ED64 Plus... my impressions. Any Owners around here?

[N64]

I just bought one of these. How does 64DD work? I can't get F-Zero running

Did you buy the PLUS (chinese knockoff) or the Krikzz (genuine) version?
If Krikzz, you basically have to have the .n64 file which is the 64DD rom. Works fine with that. Krikzz forums have the 64DD ready-to-play files floating around

Just to follow up. I returned my defective ED64plus to the seller and got a refund. i did lose the shipping costs ... bought a new one from another seller and that one is working fine. seems to be hit and miss.

I'm all ears. How'd you do it?

I'm all ears. How'd you do it?

So I was looking for the place where I got the necessary files to play 64dd on a clone cart and it turns out none of the links work anymore. I could send you my folders and os files. I wont include roms, thats up to you to find them.

I sent you a pm.

 

[Nimadude]

I sent you a pm.

Could I have it too please? Thanks!

Btw did anyone get DK64 working and played full game without save issues, without using any patches on ED64PLUS?

Are you using alt64? Was never sure if alt64 worked with the ED64P, unless youre using something else. (In which case, send it my way too)

1:Keep the ed64p folder with the os.z64 in it at sd card root

2Download and extract the alt64 files and drag and drop the folders onto the root of your sd

3: Copy the OS64.v64 file from the ED64 folder and paste it into the ED64P folder, then with the OS64P.V64 file, rename it to anything you want

4:With OS64.v64 file from the ed64 folder file rename it to OS64P.V64

This somehow trick the cart into loading the alt64 or official everdrive os's

Worked perfectly!
Sorry for the bump but just got this too.
Just wondering, is there a way to play wwf no mercy? Doesn't seem to be working. Is there a patch for it like the jet force gemini patch/banjo tooie? Are there any other games that dont play with the ed64 plus?
Would you reccommend using the alt64 os, original ed64plus os or the v1 everdrive 64 os. And does the everdrive 2.5 os work on the cart?
Cheers guys

I just decided to shell out the $174 to order one (bought without shell to modify a green cart game to match the console color). I just felt it was worth it. After all it pays for itself after just 3 or 4 good n64 games.

Yeah I thought about it, just couldn't justify spending the additional $ unless I had the money to spend haha, oh well. Works great anyway so far!

 

[KevinLSX]

$70 maxinum for the ed64 plus and it has 98% game compatibility

If you add in the cost of the games it cant play it covers the cost of the official cart, which is also less of a headache to use.

 

[KevinLSX]

Except you dont save money unless you planned on buying everygame for the n64.

If you plan on buying just 4-5 good games it covers the cost of ed64 v3.

Ohh... my topic from over 4 years ago still gets replys

I also still got my ED64 Plus, it still works fine, although i'am not using it very much.

Welll on topic ahaha
