The Picocart64 | Better than the Everdrive? 

Aye, its biggest limitation is space. Which is a bummer, but still able to do some cool things for so cheap. I like the everdrive, but the asking price is preposterous. I'll be looking in to the SummerCart64 next. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.

@@DReviewTing i know you can get sd card reader modules that sit on top of the picopi as i have used them in the psx memcard project. im guessing in the future it might be expanded to allow us to do that but i think for it to work correctly it needs some kind of nand to temp write the rom to thats normally how the everdrive's and stuff handle multi roms and the picopie just doesnt have the space as you said.

You're comparing a Rolex to a Timex. The price difference is the biggest feature.

@@DReviewTing Why not use some SRAM to create a buffer the roms load from? Allow them to be pulled from an external source and be written to the SRAM, which is then mapped to the addresses used by the N64 with the Pico acting just to translate them from 2x256mb SRAM chips into the N64's address space?

Still more cost effective. As great as the ever drive is, it's still too expensive new.

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I hope Beckmann continues to work on it. Also the people behind the TransferBoy!

The dev has officially stated that he lost interest to continue its development

Hopefully the community picks it up. Beckmann seems busy with a lot if things.

@@DReviewTing now that pico 2 came out and was a total surprise to the community it might bring some new interest now that the new hardware will eliminate a lot of the limitations. I would like to see not only an SD slot but also support for the pico 2 W and wifi ROM transfer.

@andreamitchell4758 aye, I'm looking forward to seeing how pico2 will upgrade some of these mods.

Same! I'd love an Everdrive, but they are crazy expensive. This is a good little alternative! Cheers Bawb x

Same! The modding community are really utilising it. I can't wait to see what the future brings! Thanks for watching and commenting!

That would be phenomenal!!! Excellent thinking.

Why not just use pico W and do it wirelessly?

I've seen that! I want you try it! Amazing! Thank you for commenting!

Thank Nimbus! The thumbnail style has been my go-to style for the last few haha. Appreciate it mate!

I agree, completely! There are some games that I'd never get to experience without these sorts of carts, or emulation in general. Some games are going for CRAZY money these days!

Oh man, I absolutely loved playing it. The music was so good, and Shrek in the Dam level had me dying haha. Amazing mod! 😄

I'd say you're exactly right. Just means I'd have to complete it in a single sitting haha! Thanks for commenting and checking out the video 😄

Agreed. It definitely has limitations, but I hope the modding community expands on the idea. Thanks for watching!

Incredibly 😄 I love it!

Hi. No, the board came only with the pico. I had the switch and salvaged the chips from a broken game. But I haven't had any luck saving games to it, so not sure how well it even works. Thanks for watching:D

Exactly. It's a start, but adding an SD card reader is way beyond my understanding, haha. Hopefully, in the future 🙏

I'll need to look into that, I'm not sure what that is haha. There is an NEOGEO emulator for this, but I couldn't get it to work at all.

The biggest games are 64 megabytes (512mb) in size. It handles these without issue. I haven't come across anything bigger 🤔

That is actually a very valid point! I didn't even look at file sizes when flashing. Portal is 22mb, and even DBZKart is 25mb! I'll have to look in to that a bit further. Unless when the uf2 is converted, it is able to reduce the size further maybe? I agree, an SD card reader would be absolutely sick! The biggest issues for me is both capacity, and saving.

Man, that would be amazing!

@@DReviewTing yeah would be great for when i work on nes, to load up one of the diagnostic roms fast, i know you can do it with the everdrive but that price though...

Hi. Not that I'm aware of. I've used this on both my pal 64s, and my NTSC with, and without the expansion pak, and had it boot fine.

I checked there, and both seem fine to me 🤔

@@DReviewTing your github link is forwarded for PicoDVI-N64 the video solution, no picocart64

Interesting. 5 of which board, and how??

That's not good! Did you flash nuke it, load the pal or ntsc uf2, power cycle, and flash the test uf2?

@@DReviewTing I've flash nuked it, flashed the ntsc uf2, power cycled, and flashed the test uf2 and nothing. I've been working on it for a couple hours now. I did manage to find a uf2 file online named picocart64.uf2 (which wasn't included in the github repo, but found it in another youtube video's links) and it worked. Seems to be an old test rom? That is the only thing that's worked at all, no matter what I do other than that one premade uf2 it doesn't work. I know the board is just fine because that picocart64.uf2 worked with it and gave good video output and stuff on the n64, and I even tried micropython and other pi pico stuff and it works, but for some reason any real rom just doesn't work. Any idea? thanks!

😎👉👉 cheers!

The SummerCart is next on the list!

If it wasn't obscenely priced, I'd agree.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love Jesus! I'm sure he's a subscriber 😉😅

Why indeed. Hopefully, it is in the work. Thanks for watching!
