Krikzz, the well-known creator of the Everdrive series of flash cartridges, has launched the latest addition to the Mega Everdrive family: the Mega Everdrive Core. This mid-range cartridge offers a balance of features between the advanced Mega Everdrive Pro and the more basic Mega Everdrive X5. It also surpasses the recently introduced OpenED model.
Functionality and Compatibility
The Mega Everdrive Core allows users to play digitized Genesis game ROMs on original Genesis consoles and compatible clones. Additionally, it supports Master System and 32X games, provided that the system can handle Master System games or has an original 32X attached. Notably, it also supports the Genesis version of Virtua Racing, which is an advantage over the OpenED model. However, it cannot run Sega CD games, the acclaimed RPG Pier Solar (2010), or titles with MSU-MD support.
Pricing and Availability
The Mega Everdrive Core is priced at $99 USD and is available in both black and transparent white cartridge shells. Fans can purchase this cartridge directly from Krikzz’s official Everdrive store or through authorized reseller Everdrive.me.
