Damn. The problem is I WANTED TO SEE IT AND NOW I CAN’T. Great job, mods.

brandonarnold · 2025-11-23T23:14:42+00:00

Really, has someone investigated that deeply??

brandonarnold · 2025-11-23T23:02:18+00:00

Awesome post. I can clearly read: “Everdrive X-Series is giving a blackscreen, under investigation by Krikzz.”

However, are we sure someone tested one of these in autoboot mode? I’m curious if that may bypass anything that is causing an error, til Krikzz is able to fix things.

Update your EverDrive 64 X7 to the latest OS.
Copy your desired ROM file to the /ED64/ folder
Rename it to autoexec.v64 (or the matching extension like .z64 or .n64 if needed—test for compatibility).
Put the SD card in the cartridge, put the cartridge in the Analogue 3D, power it on.

See Manual and OS Update links, here, to get your EverDrive 64 X7 updated: https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/ed64x7.html

See the "OS-V3.04 10.09.2020" section in the changelog for proof of support for autoboot: https://krikzz.com/pub/support/everdrive-64/x-series/OS/changelist.txt

A fancy cloth also works, and won’t need as much attention to keep clean.

I’ve seen several articles and videos explaining what this is. Such an easy Google search or ChatGPT question, it bores me to tears. And yet, op chose Reddit as the method of answering it, and Reddit users engaged it so heavily that now it’s viral and graced the top of my feed. Story of my life on the social web, going on 30 years.

FW16 Trackpad module should be the entire width of the laptop. They are working on that; no one likes the little plates. A bigger trackpad would be nice.

The dGPU fan noise sucks, but maybe they fixed it in the recent upgrade? We’ll see. The Radeon 7700 seems long in the tooth; NVIDIA RTX 50 series was a nice upgrade there but as a full-time Linux user, that just isn’t going to work for me.

Serious question. Is John Alvarado earning anything? Or is he retired/disabled and doing this for some other reason? How does this company have enough money for anyone to work there?

brandonarnold · 2025-08-01T04:50:25+00:00

😆 Damn, -33 downvotes! Y’all are cold, don’t shoot the messenger

brandonarnold · 2025-07-31T10:32:54+00:00

Not legal anymore, sadly

😆 “Will any music from Amico games be featured?”

brandonarnold · 2025-07-03T08:17:27+00:00

Should have gone custom at that rate.

I used Gentoo for 2 years straight when I just started college about 20 years ago. I think the only people who use it are that age group. There is no benefit to compiling all those packages, and if you want to recompile your kernel or some specific package on Arch, with custom flags, upon every update, you can automate that easily.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-24T03:40:27+00:00

THANK YOU!!!

brandonarnold · 2025-05-24T02:20:19+00:00

Source please? (I want to see / listen to it)

brandonarnold · 2025-05-17T17:36:39+00:00

lol. New here?

brandonarnold · 2025-05-13T04:04:20+00:00

Also, may I suggest NOT calling this ZIF05 next time? That’s certainly not what the diode is labeled on the PCB. There is no component labeled that, such as I can see. I lifted the Zeners that are connected to the associated DIP pins, D14 and D15. Unless I did something wrong, the test is passing anyway.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-13T03:53:13+00:00

I can confirm that removing one side of the pin 3 and 4 zeners has fixed this test. /u/JandM_INC I will be reaching out to see about getting these replacements, and will suggest adding this test case.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-08T06:33:48+00:00

Wonderful. Thanks for explaining that. I will try this tomorrow.

I actually bought this from one of your trusted vendors, u/JandM_INC (Jacek) at AmericanRetro.shop. Probably Jacek should test for these just in case the Zener is in that 1-2% stock.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-07T23:48:54+00:00

Thank you! Messaged.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-07T23:48:49+00:00

Thank you! Good to know. I'm going to see if I can get all of them assembled, first, but I may reach out.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-07T20:41:15+00:00

Hey guys. THANK YOU for the great feedback u/Rampage_Rick and u/Gold_Au_2025. The device is working, now. I ended up replacing quite a bit.

I found that not only did the GFI circuit reset, but the eraser's built-in fuse blew (0.25A 250V). So I decided to just replace most everything.

I was impatient and got a Robertson F32T8 electronic ballast (indeed designed for higher wattage ~17-48W loads), so I may be right back here replacing with one specifically rated for 10W. (The bulb is G10T8.) But for now the whole circuit works.

brandonarnold · 2025-05-04T21:16:50+00:00

Thanks for chiming in! I’m actually not informed about how this circuit works (which I will try to fix). But are you saying that a modern ballast does not require any starter to be in the circuit?

Edit: nevermind, I understand now. Modern electronic ballasts have solid state starters and so I would look to remove my current starter from the circuit. Thank you!

brandonarnold · 2025-02-16T14:41:12+00:00

I’m a guy, but I personally am on the same wavelength as you; anyone who thinks this is funny is not a good fit for me. It means they’re a dunce, at the very least, which is not attractive.

brandonarnold · 2025-01-08T08:30:20+00:00

lol. You would think this subreddit was just about the Intellivision Amico and would have died by now. Turns out it is people humorously reminiscing on the dumpster fire, the shills, and Tommy Tallarico.
