Changes

A note for people considering EverDrives: There are Chinese clone EverDrives floating around on eBay/AliExpress/other websites that should be avoided at all costs. EverDrive firmwares have firmware has DRM in them to verify real EverDrive hardware being used, and will brick clone EverDrives. You should only buy directly from KRIKzz, or from an official reseller. Clone EverDrives will generally require you to use an older firmware with crippled functionality.

Requires version 3.60, if you're on a lower firmware you can update specifically to 3.60, see [http://wololo.net/2016/08/09/manually-update-ps-vita-firmware-3-60/ here]. As always, [http://wololo.net wololo] is the place for anything new in the PSP/Vita scene. Henkaku requires re-installation via the henkaku website or the [https://github.com/henkaku/offline-installer/releases offline installer] upon restart. August is the expected arrival of Enso which will remove this need for constant reinstallation.

[http://krikzz.com/store/home/31-everdrive-n8-nes.html EverDrive N8 NES] ($109) Uses SD cards, and receives support, including fan-made mappers, such as the Sunsoft 5B. Some mappers support save states. These mappers can cause issues on very early NES systems manufactured before 1987. Supports Game Genie codes.

[http://krikzz.com/store/home/32-everdrive-n8-famicom.html EverDrive N8 Famicom] ($109) Uses MicroSD cards, and is the exact same product as the above.

[http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card usb USB 64m smart card] ($42) No RTC, only one .sav stored at a time (alpha hack available, but deletes saves on occasion), issues when having GBC and GB games in the same bank, and not the easiest to use. Only uses an MBC5 mapper, and tries to fake other mappers. There are game-specific hacks to fix any issues caused by this. [http://thegaminguniverse.org/ninjagaiden4/mottzilla/ Multisave menu, hacks] Supports ROMs up to 4MB (32Mb). Two ROMs at a time are supported when not using a menu. IMPORTANT NOTE: This flash cart uses 3.3v flash chips directly wired to the 5v Game Boy bus. This could shorten the life of the cart and/or the Game Boy.

[http://krikzz.com/store/home/27-sd2snes.html SD2SNES] ($190) Has an FPGA to support some special chips, along with MSU-1 support (notable exceptions being SuperFX and SA-1). Can also play large ROMs such as Star Ocean. Can theoretically be firmware upgraded to support more chips, but that has not happened yet. SuperFX and SA-1 is are in the pipeline for 2.0 firmwaresfirmware.

[http://krikzz.com/store/home/30-everdrive-64-v25.html EverDrive 64 v2.5] ($106 including CIC chip) Supports ROMs up to 64MB (512Mb) in size, although the SRAM is stored at the end of the ROM, which corrupts 64MB games that use the entire ROM and also saves (Pokemon Stadium 2 is the only known example), no RTC, 99.9% comptibility compatibility (no Animal Forest due to lack of RTC, and Pokemon Stadium 2 due to the previously mentioned SRAM/ROM sharing). Must reset before powering off to save. Also includes support for 64DD cart conversions.

[http://128bit.me/index.php?topic=26113.0 POT Tweak] is needed to run burned DVDs in combination with another mod. Ritek G04 mini DVDs are recommended for this purpose, as other brands can wear out the laser. The GameCube can read full -size DVDs if the top lid is removed/modified/replaced.

[http://nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=135 DSTWO+ Flashcard] ($53.99) Only Nintendo DS flashcart flash cart that has decent to good GBA and Super Nintendo emulation depending on the game due to the DSTWO+ having it's its own processor, but also drains your battery when using them. Works on the DSi's latest firmware and supports MicroSDHC.

[http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149 R4i GOLD] ($17.99) One of the various R4 clones, but unlike the majority of them , these aren't that bad. Make sure the URL displayed on the flashcart are http://r4ids.cn/ or http://r4idsn.cn/ or else you'll be getting a shitty counterfeit card. Supports DSi's latest firmware and support MicroSDHC. Be sure to update Wood Firmware as soon as you get it.

R4: If you don't have a Nintendo DSi and are okay with the 2GB MicroSD limit you might as well go with the original R4, although you're most likely going to get a clone because the original R4 team disbanded shortly after the R4's release. The clone cards (although not the greatest) get the job done, just be sure to get an R4 flashcart and not an R4 SDHC, R4 dualcoredual core, etc. Usually found for around $5-$7, does not support DSi or MicroSDHC. The R4s usually come with Wood Firmware but if they do not be sure to install it for a much better -recommended experience. Has recently gotten a new lease on life thanks to Boot9Strap (see below) making it possible to use ancient flashcards like the R4 on the 3DS.

'''CFW''' ($0): Boot9Strap (formerly known as Sighax) gives full control over the 3DS, and CFWs such as Luma3DS run on top of it. This is the best method if it is available, as it is free. See [https://3ds.guide Plailect's guide] for up to date information on the required firmwares firmware and the methods used to install Boot9Strap. There have been reports of people using CFW being banned, so take proper precautions and try avoiding online functionality.

[http://www.sky3ds.com/ '''SKY3DS/SKY3DS+'''] (~$75): Works on all firmwares firmware (as of 11.4.0), as it emulates a real card. Only useful for backups/piracy, as homebrew will not work, although Ninjhax will work with Cubic Ninja as a ROM. Non-upgradeable. The blue-button version will support unlimited games, whereas the red-button version will only support 10 games forever (even if you switch out microSD cards), although this has been cracked. There is also an orange button version, SKY3DS+, which supports recent anti-piracy in games. Use this one where available, if going this route. Clones are available (QQ3DS which comes with a DS flash cart DS support, r5sdhc). If playing games online, you will need a private header, which can be retrieved from any physical 3DS cart. You will be banned from Nintendo's servers otherwise.

vWii ([http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/WiiMode Wii mode]) is hackable. [http://www.wiihacks.com/wii-u-guides-tutorials/107959-guide-virtual-wii-wii-mode-softmod-wii-u.html vWii Soft Mod Guide]. Only install IOS modules if they state they are compatible with vWii as otherwise , you WILL brickyour Wii U. Note that there isn't a way to unbrick vWii currently.

[https://gbatemp.net/threads/loadiine-gx2.413823/ Loadiine] is a backup loader for Wii U firmwares firmware 3.0.0 - 5.5.1, and supports loading games from SD. As it loads games via the Mii Maker app, which doesn't use online features, it cannot play online at the moment. It only supports DLC if you bought the DLC first. It doesn't support Wii VC injection (i.e. Xenoblade and friends for Gamepad controls).

The Wii U is easily hackable even on the latest firmware, and does not even require permanent software mods to install or boot installed games. Simply accessing the homebrew launcher via the browser exploit is enough to get to installing and playing (but requires a wifi connection and can be unreliable. More permanent CFW hacks can be done by installing Haxchi, though this requires the legitimate purchase of a DS VC game). Through the use of injectors, you can install Wii and Gamecube games directly to your Wii U home menu. Injection of Wii homebrew apps is also possible, allowing you to install Nintendont to your Wii U home menu directly and therefore play GameCube games via Nintendont without any vWii modding (though launching Nintendont requires CFW to be running, and therefore Haxchi is recommended but not technically necessary). See [https://wiiu.hacks.guide/ the guide] for more details on accessing homebrew, and [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wiivc-injector-script-gc-wii-homebrew-support.483577/ this thread] for details on injection.

All PAL models, all 3020 models, and all dreamcasts Dreamcasts that came in a white and orange box can play burnt CDs without modding. Some 3030 models can, but not all, and dreamcasts Dreamcast that came in a black and blue box can't.

[https://gdemu.wordpress.com/ordering/ordering-gdemu/ GDEMU] (~$122) Also uses SD cards. Emulates the disk drive itself, so compatibility is great. Will only work with certain model Dreamcasts, so be sure to check which one you have before ordering. Creator The creator makes them in batches and you have to pay attention to get on the pre-order.

[http://3do-renovation.ru/USB-GDROM_Controller.htm USB-GDROM] (~$175-230) Uses any USB 2 media to load images from. Region Free, compatible with GDI, ISO, and cdi CDI images. Works with all VA0 & VA1 models.
