Everdrive 64 “Pro” Announced

Ready to ditch the tedious cartridge swaps? Krikzz has just unveiled the Everdrive 64 “Pro,” and if you’ve ever sighed while waiting for a ROM to load on your N64, this might just be the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.
Think of it as the Everdrive’s big brother, but with significantly more muscle. It offers faster loading times and supports custom menu themes, so your game library looks as good as it plays. The real head-turner, though, is the built-in support for 64DD games. Yes, you can finally play those rare disk-based titles without needing a separate, finicky drive. There’s even a dedicated physical button on the cart for swapping disks, which is a clever bit of hardware engineering.
Here’s the quick rundown:
- Price: $170 (shipping by month’s end).
- Look: Available in classic N64 grey or seven transparent color options.
- Compatibility: Works with original N64 hardware and modern FPGA clones.
- Extra: Supports homebrew and ROM hacks larger than 64MB.
It’s pricier than the standard ED64, but if you’re a collector or just tired of loading screens, the “Pro” version brings some serious polish to the retro experience. Just check the comparison chart if you’re debating between this and the x7 model.
