''In regards of modding'' - You are at risk of rendering you your console unusable, aka a "brick", when attempting to mod it. Each system is different in terms of difficulty, so use you your own judgement when deciding if you want to mod it or not and to follow each step carefully during the process. Any form of modding will void your warranty, though this is normally only a problem for newer systems, and may be difficult to resell if there's no way to "un-mod" it. Generally, it is <b>NOT</b> recommended to use video guides when modding, there the reason being is they can become outdated and often don't follow all the steps or uses their own pre-configured "tools" for downloading which may not be the latest version. If you do decided decide to use one, make sure to check the date and see if there's also a some kind of written guide to compare it with and follow to make sure it's still accurate.
''In regards of flashcarts'' - Flashcarts can only be purchased online and there are normally typically no official "reseller" for them, so take caution and avoid scammersscams. Another thing to avoid is cheap clones which are common for EverDrives. EverDrive firmware has DRM in them to verify real EverDrive hardware being used and will brick clone EverDrives. You should try to buy directly from KRIKzz, or from an official reseller; however between parts shortages and the difficulty of getting anything in or out of an occupied territory you may be forced to buy from a scalper or a local seller on Craigslist etc. as current shipping times from KRIKzz are measured in months. Clone EverDrives will generally require you to use an older firmware with crippled functionality. If the price seems too good to be true, then it's probably a fake. If you're buying from eBay or a local seller, look at the item photos carefully to make sure you aren't overpaying for a clone. Note that SD2SNES/FXPak is an open source design (KRIKzz is just the largest seller) and "clones" of it aren't worse than buying any other cheap hardware from China.
