Comment on Should I get a Everdrive-GB X3 or X5 for my Gameboy
Fenderfreek@lemmy.world 10 months agoNot exactly. Some original carts with SRAM would save automatically. You could shut it off and when you turn it on again, your progress would be saved without doing anything manually(eg. Mario Six Golden Coins). In any case, even those games, you still have to do another manual operation on the cart to save the “virtual save”, so the difference is that saving requires an additional, manual step, beyond whatever the game itself requires

Anything other differences besides having to save manually?

I have a X7 and a EzFlash Jr because I want my experience to be seamless and compatible with RTC games, but if you’re really after something for homebrew or don’t mind the added step for anything that supports saves, just get the cheaper one.
