I have the 64 Everdrive v3 and it is fantastic. Loads 64Mbyte ROM in less than 3 seconds. As a bonus you can also play NES ROMs off it. I have no idea how they pulled that off...

I have been eyeballing the "Deluxe" version for a while now. Maybe I will just suck it up and take the plunge.  Thanks for the info.

I have the up most faith in bunnyboy and i love his products. Put people out there are beating him to the punch! First The hi def NES by kevtris, and now the new everdrive IOS. Not to stir the shit or anything. I just don't know if i should hold out?

I'm still waiting for the AVS!

 

When using the Ultimate Mappers Cocktail, Bomberman 2 keeps glitching and going to the Powermappers screen at random points during play, every 30 or 45 seconds; if I select BACK TO GAME, it goes back to the game, but then soon reverts to the Powermappers screen. This is incredibly annoying. Has anyone else had issues with Bomberman 2 when using the Powermappers?

Hi, love your custom Everdrive N8 label. Are u either interested in selling the cartridge or could u please email me the design for me to print my own? Thanks. David.

This isn't showing as pinned anymore...?

EDIT: Hmmmm, now it is.  Weird.

And, I repeat my question/observation about Bomberman 2 not working correctly with the PowerMappers.  Anyone?

Hello there. I have same problem with that game
 

I just noticed the fox's website is down. Does he have a new site, or something? Did he ever got a new version of the Powermappers out?

Well, at least it's not just me. :-)

Not good that the Fox's website is down. :-(

I'm going to make a separate CF card with the normal mappers for when I want to play Bomberman 2. I'd buy the cartridge, but unfortunately it's waaaaaaaaay overpriced these days.

Thanks for your reply sir! Hopefully the Fox will come back online with a Powermapper fix for Bomberman 2.

Yeah I was lucky I bought Bomberman II a couple years ago when it was still reasonable. I paid $35 from an Amazon reseller and it had a Replays sticker that says "Bomberman $5" on the backside. I kept the sticker for posterity. At first I figured I got ripped off as the seller made out like a bandit, but looking at pricecharting recently, I'm glad I bought it when I did.

Bomberman II is great, especially with 3 person multiplayer battle. The original had zero multiplayer options. You can also get the Famicom versions cheaply still and there are four games total, 3 and 4 being exclusive to Japan, or you can also play them on a Powerpak but they won't work with a four score obviously. You need the Famicom expansion port and a custom adapter to access extra players on the Famicom variants.

I need to test Bomberman II with the Loopy set. I never bothered with Power mappers.

I don't have my NTSC NES hooked up so I didn't test it yet, but on a cursory glance I think I already spotted the problem in the mapper HDL. Looks like the code incorrectly handles the situation where the game reads the controller more than 8 times (Bomberman II does because of its Four Score support) and DPCM sample playback causes corrupted controller reads.

Should be a pretty easy fix, but I can't give any promises about schedule.

Here's a version of MAP01.MAP that should fix the Bomberman II problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1aljcbm...

EDIT: Removed the full download because of MMC3 problems.
 

...and now I noticed that the MMC3 got messed up because of the (completely unrelated) changes, argh. So you may want to skip overwriting the file MAP04.MAP (MMC3 implementation). MAP01.MAP is the only file that's needed for the Bomberman II fix.

I really should take another go at fixing those MMC3 problems...

Hey there, I hope you're doing fine. Is your original website down forever? Do you have a new one?

I'm good. My VPS provider accidentally (yes, really) wiped out my entire server (oops!) and I can't bother to set it all back up. I'll reupload some of my old stuff little by little when I get around to it.

Ouch, that's gotta hurt! I really hope they at least sent you a very apologetic email, and refund you or something
 

It's the cloud, man. They are vapor after all. I have seen clouds vanish into thin air too.

 

I made a new MMC3 implementation. It's not completely timing-compatible with a real MMC3 (IRQs fire a little bit later than they should), but it should be more robust than the previous version, and all the games I tested don't seem to care all that much.

Here's the new version. This should be extracted on top of an existing v20 or v21 installation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/854mvhb...

Let me know how/if it works. Feedback is welcomed especially from those who may have had some problems with MMC3 (e.g. MegaMan 3..6, Bucky O'Hare, ...) in previous versions.

Thank you! initial testing doesn't show any problems. I'll be on the look out for any.

That sucks about your server fox, hope you get things back up and running soon.

Any chance you, or anyone else, has a mirror to download powermappers while the site's down?

Yeah someone recently asked about them in the Everdrive forums. I never used the save state mappers but a lot of people do.

 

You can also download the cocktail of mappers that includes the Powermappers, from the first post.

I didn't realize they were included in the bundled download.  Thanks!
 

New version (v23) is now up at https://kkfos.aspekt.fi/...

Changes:

- v23 (2015-12-28)
  * New MMC3 IRQ implementation (RAMBO-1 style, based on M2). Doesn't
  exactly match real MMC3 timings, but should be more robust than the
  previous implementation.
  * Don't enable CHR-RAM if PPU asserts /RD and /WR at the same time due
  to rogue $2007 writes. Fixes graphics glitching in the following games:
    - Noah's Ark (E)
    - Addams Family, The - Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (U)
    - Baseball Stars II (U)
    - Bigfoot (U)
    - Krusty's Fun House (U)
    - Perfect Fit (U)

- v21 (2015-12-16)
  * Fixed a bug in controller read corruption handling (caused menu to
  show up spuriously in Bomberman II). Thanks to WaverBoy for report.
  * FME-7 IRQ acknowledgement behavior changed to match
  http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopi... (should not
  affect any games).
