Uses USB? Runs on Linux / Windows?
I'm very interested. |

Yes, app is cross platform (Wx lib / c++) and usb2.
But need some minor adjustments (graphically) on other systems than Mac. I should finish the app in few weeks (SMS sram write part, MD flash/sram write ) Very (very) cheap dumper/writer (based on STM32 bluepill ... 2€ lol). Much faster than a GQ4x programmer (actually not very far from my Xeltek 610P programmer, which is not a low cost one) |

Anyone asking replacement already? I'd like to see how it goes... |

so yesterday I found out that Krikzz did release (3 months ago!) an updated Master EverDrive OS that should support 256(*) ROM banks, if used on a Master EverDrive whose FPGA firmware has been updated ('core v02').
(*) well, almost
so I was wondering if anyone has a chance to test that... |

Are we able to update the FPGA core ourselves without additional hardware needed? Then I could give it a try. |

I'm pretty sure you need some programmer - and the FPGA core 'firmware' file, which isn't distributed. So I'd say if you *need* this, you might ask for a replacement, as Krikzz said. |

I contacted the support a while back and they did not know what I was talking about :D | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Terrible! Was that *before* they released the update? |

Not sure, but it was after you (I think) commented somewhere here that krikzz is willing to take back all the Master Everdrive X7 to update/"repair" them. Maybe the support did not know about that at this time. I will try again early next year. |

so here's Krikzz message in his forum:
you might try selecting 'warranty service' from the list and then write about the "256 ROM banks" support you need in the message field. They'll probably just re-program the FPGA and send your EverDrive back to you. |

Thanks, I will try that. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I've been reminded to post test results from about a month or two ago for revised Master Everdrive X7 cartridges showing only 248 out of 256 banks usable!
