When you say it's not working do you mean it doesn't load at all? Or is it the save glitch? If it's the save glitch make sure to use the USA 1.1 version as that had the save glitch fixed.

What version of the ED firmware are you running? Have you tried the USA one as mentioned?
ed64 plus's 128 firmware. I also tried with alt64 firmware but same thing. Not too sure whats happening there. USA one just loads to black screen too.

USA boots perfectly fine on the official ed64 in my testing.
That's strange. Might just be for pal consoles using the ed then? Hmm
That, jet force Gemini, dk64 and banjo tooie are the only games I've noticed so far that won't start. Patched Gemini so that works fine now and same as dk and banjo tooie but just waiting for an expansion pak to test those.

Yep still doesn't work and there isn't any patches for it if that is the cause. So wwf no mercy so far is the only game I've noticed won't play. Just a heads up to anyone who buys the ed64 plus in the future (pal n64 system)

The rom included on the sd card doesn't work, I haven't tried the pal version but this one works "WWF No Mercy (USA) (Rev A)"

Edit: I'm using a pal N64.

The US version is the one I tried, the pal Rev. A could work as well I dont know.
I think its the enhanced version, its the one without the cartridge slot one top.

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

At least on my ed64p, this doesn't work correctly. Specifically, while the loader does run, it will not choose the right save format the first time. Ie, if you load rom1 then rom2, it'll try using rom1's save format for rom2. Also, it doesn't seem to save correctly even if you load the same rom twice. *shrug* Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or not.

Yeah, for some reason this only worked for me. Maybe because mines the older version of the cart
