''In regards of flashcarts'' - Flashcarts can only be purchased online and there are normally no official "reseller" for them, so take caution and avoid scammers. 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. <strike>You should only try to buy directly from KRIKzz, or from one of their an official reseller.</strike> Ha ha, disregard that, KRiKzz was Ukranian so ; however between parts shortages and the only way difficulty of getting anything in or out of an occupied territory you may be forced to get a genuine EverDrive is buy from a scalperor 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.
