This is illegal right?

This is illegal right?

Not at all. They even say on their video that they don't condone piracy

Looks like its powered by RetroArch, to me.

Looks like its powered by RetroArch, to me.

X-TRA is powered by Dear ImGui and SDL2, while the emulators are RA cores. The choice of style was made in order to build something we knew would be more familiar to users on this niche.

RIGHT?!?!
Most Evercade owners know the dreaded result of at least one cartridge update gone wrong...

Did they just show the grimace birthday game in the video?

Also, I wasn't sure how sucessful the evercade series was. I don't think it's sold in usa, I got spam email from funstock and it seems to be EU retailers. Though not sure if I would use it over other options. Probably need to find out what makes this unique over other options. You know, besides using cartridges.

It's a free to play game. You could play it with the EverSD.
I think it's a nice showcase to show what it all can offer to us.

Funstock has a US website as well as far as I know. Amazon is also another option for people in the US.

EverSD is also shipping worldwide.

Neat and all, but $130 for an evercade vs AND $45 for an eversd

Can't imagine why you wouldn't get a raspberry pi for cheaper and get way more functionality

The system and eversd are legal. You MUST TO PROVIDE your LEGAL adquired ROMS. The use of illegal ROMs is piracy

For 175 bucks you can get an abernick system more powerful or an analog pocket which also not emulate just FPGA

Pis are expensive nowadays lol that people probably are better off buying those Chinese made consoles.

You might as well hack up a donor cartridge and solder in a microSD slot, its cheaper and does the same thing.

Whey even bother w/ an EverCade in the first place? It's a glorified so-called luxury retro emulation console that's God-awfully expensive for what it does and what you get when there are tons of other devices that can achieve the same outcome as an EverCade while doing a whole lot better and are much more convenient to use, and fairly inexpensive. The EverSD is a nice touch by offering additional QoL features restricted by the EverCade, but it really doesn't push the needle and it definitely doesn't motivate me to wanna buy an EverCade for myself
S/N: I just spent over $600 on a 6950 XT graphic cards for myself this past week instead
