EverDrive-64 Pro – Savestates Added

If you’ve ever been mid-boss fight on the Nintendo 64 and realized your life was about to flash before your eyes, this one is for you.
Krikzz just dropped a massive firmware update for the EverDrive-64 Pro, and the headline feature is a total game-changer: Save States. Yes, you can finally bypass those grueling “game over” screens and save your progress exactly where you stand. Just a heads-up—you’ll need an Expansion Pak to access the in-game menu (usually via Down + Start) to pick your save slots.
But the love for retro hardware doesn’t stop at cartridges. If you’re one of the lucky few still rocking original 64DD hardware, the update now allows you to launch disks directly from the main menu.
Here’s the quick breakdown of what else is new:
- “Start Safe” mode: A clean boot that skips cheats and the in-game menu for a pure experience.
- Bug fixes: Improved NES core stability and constant cartridge signatures.
- Better compatibility: Enhanced support for various menu modes and effects.
If you own a Pro, go grab that firmware update and maybe give the manual a quick skim so you don’t get lost in the menus. Happy gaming!
