Hey all! Just out of curiosity, has anyone had an issue with their Hi-Def NES' freezing? Mine has done it a lot, HOWEVER only when I'm using my EverDrive N8. I thought it could be a bad SD card or old firmware so I bought a new one and updated to the current firmware... and it still freezes. Specifically, when I'm playing Zelda 1 Randomizer, but it's frozen playing other vanilla games as well.
Could it be a bad cap? I haven't replaced them yet. Or perhaps the power supply? Maybe even the EverDrive N8 itself?
Any help would be amazing! Thanks in advance
EDIT: For the record, the Everdrive did freeze once on a stock NES... that was a long time ago and has worked flawlessly since. Also I modded the NES myself, and I don't have any issues playing actual carts. Only roms on an Everdrive. Randomizer freezes almost 50% of the time now
I stopped using the Everdrive for Hi-Def NES burn-ins because it was having a semi-consistent freeze that didn't happen with a real game. I have both versions of SMB3 and it'll run all day and night with either of them but often when I load up the game on my Everdrive and leave it on the World 1 map screen it will be locked up in about 15 minutes. Other times it will be fine on the Everdrive and run for hours with no issues but I've done a lot of testing and the freeze definitely only happens on the Everdrive.
