Some flashcarts give you extra features like save states as well which can be nice.
Overall I’d go with a flashcart any day over real carts with how the market is now. Then again I’m also “all-in” on emulation for the most part as well for ease and convenience. Not parting with my GBA or DS flash carts though, far too useful for when they’re needed.
@bridgeenjoyer Not an Everdrive but I have a EZ Flash Omega for the GBA but works largely the same. It’s easy to pick the game you want from a list but don’t put 1000s of games on there- that’ll just make it hard to find what you want and you’re not going to play them all anyway.
For the vast majority of games there is zero functional difference between playing an original cart or a flashcart like an Everdrive. You get the original hardware experience without price gauging.
@Inaminate_Carbon_Rod Not hugely exciting but probably eBay. That or trade in to a local retro games shop, but you'll get most value in your pocket selling directly. Be sure you check for similar game and watches on eBay and make sure you filter to "sold" to get an idea for what they're actually selling for. Ignore listed prices, only refer to sold ones.
@root42@chaos.social The times I've dipped into Castlevania I've always been frustrated by the character walking like his boots are pushing through treacle. Soooo slooooow.. No idea if it gets better like Link's pegasus boots in Link to the Past as I've never stuck one out long enough to find out haha
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games it's from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio play / book). "Belgium" is referred to as the worst most crass curse word that's only uttered by those with the most lose tongue and on Earth where they don't know what it means 🤣

@Unclear_User@nerdculture.de always liked a GBA connection on a 'cube title.
Always felt like a massive missed opportunity that nothing was done for the Wii and DS to have a similar but wireless feature

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Belgium, man Belgium!! (Hoping that’s not going over everyone’s head lol)
Fab, thanks for the link!
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games looks like a book right up my alley! Where did you pick up your copy from?
@jon@vivaldi.net do I smell a Vivaldi Search feature in the works..? 👃
