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

Take out the rumble pak.

Bruh I’m not using one

Is it because you took it out?

 

[BilehBawb]

I’m using a mempak but when I try and view the contents it says rumble pak inserted

I'am using an 4-in-1 Memory pack with Rumblefunction from Gamester -

All 4 memory banks are working perfect in the games. But the Memory Manger of the ED64 Plus always detects it as a rumble pack...

I was looking to save Majoras Mask on my mempak.
That’s all really because I know works on games that need mempak but I would like to use it on other games and backup my saves.

 

[Bonny]

Majoras Mask isn't supporting the Controller Pack. Cause it dosen't needs it. The game had an internal save function. FlashRam or SRAM if i remember correctly.

You can't change the way a game saves. Your Majora's Mask save file is automatically backed up to your :\ED64P\SAVES folder so you can take the microSD card out of the cart and copy it over to your computer if you need to back it up.

Has anyone the same issue with the ED64Plus, that it sometimes doesn´t start after pressing reset button (which is particularly annoying when saving a game) or is it just a bad cartridge which I got?

 

[Bonny]

It should work if you press the reset button for full 1-2 seconds.

I recommend you guys to try the ALTRA64 OS, which is a fork of ALT64 and it's still being developed.

It's basically the same as ALT but it runs slightly faster.

Plus, it's being made specifically for the ED64 Plus (not the original Everdrive)

github/gameblabla/altra64

Can anyone explain arguments for/against using Altra64 over Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod)? I will list the details I've collected so far.

Altra64

* Was made specially for ED64 Plus not the original Everdrive
* Source is available on github
* OS64P/OS64 is double the size of Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod) 4mb vs 2mb
* Last github release/OS64P was 21 August 2019.. Development has been more recent by almost 4 years.
* Seems to be people in this thread suggesting it.
* Using 'C' buttons in the file menu is slow/laggy/buggy compared to Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod)

Alt64(64Noivern Reddit Mod)

* Was originally made for everdrive but this version modded specially for ED64 Plus. OP from Reddit has said he tested thoroughly seems without fault bar some game caveats.
* Recommended by micro-64 (article last updated 10th April 2020) micro-64/features/ed64plus.shtml
* First posted in Reddit 19th September 2018. But the modified date on OS64/OS64P is 14th August 2015.
* Cannot seem to find the source code (I have contacted 64Noivern via reddit but will see if he responds)
* Using 'C' buttons in the file menu is NOT slow/laggy/buggy compared to Altra64 menu/navigation
* OS64P/OS64 is half the size of Altra64 2mb vs 4mb

I am a bit confused now. Are there three OS for the ED64P or do I mix something up? Altra64, Alt64 and the "normal" ED64P OS?

Hi Everyone, i had the cartridge with the 1.28a (the firm with a NES emu), I'm trying to install the ALT64 firm but it didn't work (black screen), I'm using a PAL console.

Anyone can help me?

Do you have the ED64Plus version with the region switch on top? Because according to
http://micro-64.com/features/ed64plus.shtml
the Alt 64 firmware only works with the latest ED64Plus:
"IMPORTANT: This version of Alt64 is ONLY for the latest ED64Plus cartridge, the one with the region switch. Do not use this Alt64 version on the original ED64plus with the cartridge slot on top."

Yea, is the version with the switch NTSC/PAL, the original one and the ALTRA64 works, but ALT64 nope...

What save types can be saved to the SD card? If a game saves to the controller pak is it possible to save it to the SD card instead?

Nope, but you can back up memory pak saves to the SD card so you only need 1 memory pak.

Do you need the memory pak in controller 1 to save to the memory pak or is it also possible when you have it inserted in controller 2 (which is connected to the console, for sure)

Depends on the game.

Is there a way you can keep a game in force SRAM without it defaulting back to --- once the console is reset?

Not with the default software to my knowledge.
