You have a preference between ever drive and sc64?
Finally got an analogue on order

**TL;DR - For the Analogue 3D or even the OG N64, I would pick the Summercart 64. More details below. **
My preference is likely a bit biased but I prefer the SC64 for the following reasons:
It’s open sourced. This may be important as time goes on since the only one who can provide updates to the Everdrive is Krikzz. That said, Krikzz does an amazing job with keeping his stuff updated in a timely manner. He had a fix for the X7 out within a week of the Analogue 3D being released.
I prefer the menu layout compared to the ED. All your games appear in one long menu (can page down/up with the c-buttons. On the ED there’s a limit per page. Both still allow you to play and have a good time)
Price: I spent around $50 when I bought mine. For comparison, the cost of the X7 was well over double that.
For other systems though (NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Sega systems, etc), until something like the SC64 is available I would absolutely pick up an Everdrive, despite the high cost.
And congrats on getting a system ordered! I know how much it can be a mad dash to get one. Hoping Analogue, INC. changes things to open preorders prior to production going forward after this.
Oh, before I forget. For both the SC64 or the ED64 (technically for anything that isn’t an official retail cartridge) for now they will show up as an “Unknown Cartridge” on the Analogue 3D home screen. This will not have any effect on gameplay

Analogue’s shopping cart is fucking infuriating. People will buy units out of your cart while you try to pay.

Sad but true. Right now the only way to guarantee an order is to either be early and fast enough to beat the bots/scalpers or buy something that’s been readily available.
