The maker of the ED64plus on the other hand had it mass-produced and therefore it was financially possible to create a new casing mold. I bet the reason why none of the other flash carts out there makes use of piggybacking is that it would require a new cartridge case to be molded, instead they reuse the cartridge casing from the CIC donor cartridge. Type simply by plugging in a cart with the desired type, now that's a nifty feature! An original Nintendo64 cartridge can then be inserted and the CIC is then used.ĬIC's are region specific, but given the fact that the ED64plus doesn't contain a CIC, but "borrows" it from the cart that piggybacks it, means the ED64plus will work on any region N64, you're able to change the CIC The ED64plus on the other hand features a cartridge slot on top, whichīecomes visible by removing the top part of the cartridge. The original Everdrive64 requires that the CIC is ripped from an existing original cartridge and that it's soldered onto the ED64 PCB. Every Nintendo64 includes a so-called CIC chip which is a chip that prevents unofficial gamesįrom running. What differs the ED64plus from the original product is that it doesn't require an original cartridge as donor before it works. That the cart has to be removed from the N64 every time the SD card need to be removed, it would've been a smarter move to put it on the opposite side of teh microUSD slot. One major flaw in the design of the ED64plus though is Aditionally ROMS can be loaded by using the built-in microUSB slot. Of 32gigabyte, which I bet should be more than enough to fulfill every need for N64 gaming. The ED64plus boasts 512mbit of RAM which is the maximum size a N64 rom can be, roms are loaded off either a Secure Digital (SD/SDHC), MultiMediaCard (MMC) with a maximum size Won't gon into the debacle about right or wrong here, but instead just acknowledge that Igor is the mastermind here and if you wish to own the original device I would encourage you to go to It's already widely known that the ED64plus is based off an existing project called Everdrive64, made by an Ukrainian Igor Lebedenko (aka Krikzz), and that no sub-license has been acquired to produce this product. Straight out of the dodgy parts of Asia comes the ED64plus, a Nintendo 64 RAM cart which allows you to almost instantly play any Nintendo64 game you'd want to play, well with a few exceptions but I'll have more on that
