List of SD card hack, carts, alternative replacements to CD drive.
Howard_Casto:
I see what you are saying, but that thing isn't exactly portable in my eyes. For on the go I'd recommend a psp or vita with a psx emulator.

In a different thread, Howard brought to my attention that there are many generic Everdrive like SD carts on aliexpress. They are generally cheeper and I would imagine that they are not of the same quality.
I'm going to add a reference to them on the fist post and how to find them (search "overdrive"). If any one has one or get one in the future, please post a short review and the link to the one you have purchased.
Also: I added
* Phoebe for 21 pin CD drive Saturns
* sky3ds for 3DS
* EZflash lost of 3DS carts and some PS3 hard drive mode equipment
Howard_Casto:
It's actually a rather complicated story. The developer of the everdrive made a deal with a Chinese manufacturer to produce the units. He got a discount in exchange for the company being able to manufacture and sell them to China exclusively. That was a really dumb deal on his part because China has eBay-like auction sites as well. That's what you are seeing on Aliexpress and similar sites. Bulk re-sellers are buying a bunch in China and re-selling online.
So the hardware is identical. The firmware may not be current though because I think he pulled the deal. I think you can update though.
That being said the "quality control" of stuff made in China usually consists of the person who made the order sending back obviously defective units.... that filter is gone if you buy direct.
I'm most likely going to pick up a everdrive md after the holidays and I'll report back. The only way we are going to figure out if they are up to our standards is to buy some.
Some of them aren't worth the effort though. While the genesis and snes models are much cheaper the nes tg16 and "misc" carts often run about the same price. It probably has to do with demand.
Locke141:
Thats interesting.
It seem that there are other non-ever drive clone SD card carts on Ali as well.
