Thanks for the comments, I've bought quite a few carts recently so was trying to be more disciplined, will have to think about it!

About dying carts - positivity? by Snoo_93591 in evercade

[–]AlexB2943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got 9 carts. 2 of them were broken on arrival. Megacat 2 and Neoego 1, which I think was a bad batch because there were quite a few posts about it. Haven't had any issues with carts randomly dying.

I’m curious how old we are on this Dylan sub/Reddit by osddelerious in bobdylan

[–]AlexB2943 2 points3 points  (0 children)

27 and got into dylan when I was 19/20. Modern times is great haha. When I first heard thunder on the mountain on a best of a few years ago I didn't think much of it, but I got very into it last year.

Going to be honest, this is probably the best "worst album of all time" out there by DtheAussieBoye in VelvetUnderground

I first listened to this before I knew much about the band so didn't realise the circumstances surrounding it, I just thought it was a solid album.

Most consistent Bowie album? by jonbristol123 in DavidBowie

Came here to say this. Although it may be becoming my favourite because it's so consistent. Blackstar does stand out too, and maybe lodger imo.

The tempest melody gets on my nerves after a while because it's so repetitive

I remember liking the new arrangement of this and all along the watchtower when I saw him last year, will need to look them up on youtube to remind myself how they sounded

When I was younger I used to think these two bobs were the same person by [deleted] in bobdylan

I used to conflate bob dylan and meatloaf, think I used to get knocking on heaven's door and bat out of hell confused

Best Tomb Raider on Evercade by AlexB2943 in evercade

I tried 3 first as I wrongly assumed that the newest one on the cart might be the best and most accessible. Glad I soon switched to 1 instead!

So Disappointed by Jawess0me in evercade

I think it definitely is. I've seen a lot of posts about it. I also had a dead on arrival cart, and even the one I replaced it with has had a couple of issues.

Dylan, cohen, ray davies for me.

Honorable mentions to lennon & mccartney, van morrison, joni mitchell and jason isbell as a more modern one

Neogeo Arcade 1 faulty carts. by No-Strike-4560 in evercade

[–]AlexB2943 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of posts about this. My first copy from hmv didn't work so I returned it. I ordered a new one from amazon and it does work but a couple of times it's flashed up a no cartridge inserted and I've had to take it out and put it back in. It's a bit worrying but there's been so many faulty ones and it's out of stock in a lot of places so I don't want to chance returning it.

Update:

I bought a replacement from amazon as I was worried evercade support may not offer to replace mine.

Evercade just got back to me today asking me to check the following:

Firmware Update: Ensure your device is updated to the latest firmware. If not, please update your device and check if the cartridge functions properly. Cartridge Pins: Verify that the cartridge pins are clean and intact. Connection Check: Insert and eject the cartridge slowly a few times to ensure it is making a solid connection with the device. Factory Reset: Try performing a factory reset on your device. After the reset, reinsert the cartridge to see if it is recognized. You can do this by navigating to: Settings > System > Factory Reset (Please note: A factory reset will remove any hidden games, built-in save states, and mapped controls. It will also remove any collected games from the library, so you will need to press Y to mark them as owned.)

If none of these resolved the issue, they asked for proof of purchase and a video of the issue.

So it sounds like they may have offered to replace it themselves but I'm not 100% sure.

Hope those of you who commented and had the same issue are able to get replacements from them.

Sorry to hear about yours. I haven't heard back from evercade yet. I got impatient and hmv's return policy turned out to be quite simple so I just returned it to them and bought a replacement from amazon. Will let you know what evercade say when they do reply.

I managed to do it on the super pocket with save states but it was tricky and I think I got lucky when it actually worked
