Definitely worth it. Now you don't need to clear space for a Sega CD if the model 2 is the only one you have.
Wow. Nice! And that's a pretty great price too. I ended up getting rid of my Genesis everdrive last year, so this is going to be perfect.
So is there any save capability at all for Sega CD and NES?
Strange that his "features" are basically just what the Pro might do which the MegaSD cannot. Granted I know he was directly asked to compare the two.
There was also some drama in the tweets. A critical reply to krikzz was made from a new twitter account, writing similarly to the TerraOnion folks and later quoted by them. When pointed out to krikzz, he then said he has an idea who it could be. :P
Has krizz confirmed if this still uses the real Sega-CD hardware if it's hooked up?
If so and the ODE part is accurate, I'll definitely buy this one instead of the MegaSD.
The Euro has gained so much over the Canadian dollar since the last time I purchased from TerraOnion that this is $30 cheaper and the shipping should be cheaper if it comes in traditional Everdrive packaging.
Is this any different than the MegaSD?Quote:

Some time ago he showed it running on a CDX but he also said it's not stable.Quote:

So far we think we have figured out a way to get the Sega CD's memory out of the way (hackers making linear 8MB hacks rejoice), but it doesn't look like there's a way to make its registers go away and I'm also not aware of a way to pass around data from the main CPU to the sub CPU without interfering with games (or otherwise a custom BIOS peeking at the SD card could take care of the issue).
Change of subject after the first sentence. Had I one ODE to choose, I'd go for the Everdrive. It provides more features I could use than other offerings.Quote:

aw nice! still gonna keep my SMS, may upgrade that one for save states later
gotta wonder if this model will have the same issue with genesis save states while plugged into a 32x?
I was gonna get the MegaSD but I think I’m gonna go for the Everdrive MD Pro instead, cheaper and more features!
I would read the reviews and comparison articles first. In some his products, Krikzz is kind of a minimalist. This is almost too good to be true for the price haha. A little skepticism doesn't hurt.Quote:
