I was going to offer to add them up, but you beat me to it.

What's the dif between the power pak and the ever drive?
I think the only real difference is PowerPaks use CF cards, and Everdrives use SD cards.  I have the NES and SNES PowerPaks, and the N64, Genesis, and TG-16 Everdrives.  All work about the same.  I only use them to play games.  Any other features like Game Genie or whatever else, I've never tried.

The Powerpak won't fulfill the collector in us, but it is a fantastic investment for playing games on the real hardware, if only temporary. For $135, you can play almost every NES games on the original hardware, and it also include famicom games, Euro exclusives and the sea of hacks and translated games. And if you feel like you don't need it anymore one day, you can always resell it and recoup a big chunk of the cost.

Powerpak = Win-win situation



Good point. There is no reason why I shouldn't get a powerpak



I actually want to get an Everdrive at some point.

You guys should buy a Powerpak/Everdrive and be done forever with the problem of not owning a cart in time

I have a PowerPak...I just like having the original cart as well.
 
Yeah, I understand that too, but I'm saying this as a very general advice to everyone. We are reticent to choose expensive games for contest just because we know less people might own the cart, but if most would own such flash cart device, we could pick about anything without worrying about it. This said, there aren't that much costly games that are good for a contest...

 



I agree with Bert This is my issue for the price of a power pack (correct me if I'm wrong $150-$200) I got : Bucky O Hare, Dusty Diamond and Adventure Island 3. Unless we're gonna play Little Sampson or The Flinstones priced games I would rather spend the cost of the powerpak on original carts. I haven't filed my tax return from 2012 yet, I think I'll do that and get myself a well deserved powerpak lol.
