In my quest for a cheaper alternative to the EverDrive-GB X5, I encountered many cheap Chinese clones. I do encourage you to buy an EverDrive if it is possible. If it’s not, and you bought this clone, this article is for you!
This article will contain every bit of information I could gather about this flash cart clone. It is sold on aliexpress under many different names, but they tend to label this clone as “Custom Game Cartridge China Version 700 in 1 EDGB Remix Game card for GB GBC”.
So as already stated, this clone is based on an old version of the EverDrive-GB and has a slightly modified version 1 OS. This os should never be upgraded because Krikzz, the creator of the original Everdrives has a tendency to brick clone when he releases his upgrades. I would advise everyone that bought this card to leave the firmware alone.
With that out of the way, we can see that the firmware date from 2016 and the Chinese manufacturer modified the OS to replace Krikzz’s name with the name of their company “KY Technology Inc.”.
They explain the simple layout of the buttons in the same menu :
In-game shortcut :
The cartridge is compatible with ROM ONLY, MBC1, MBC2, MBC3 and MBC5 games with ROM sizes up to 8Mbytes. It works with both Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, it also supports additional features available only on certain systems such as The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages Advance Store on the Game Boy Advance or screen borders on the Super Game Boy. It covers almost the entire spectrum of Game Boy games, its only shortcomings are the lack of an RTC clock, however, this problem can be resolved using patches or Game Genie codes which the cartridge does support natively, as well as the lack of HuC-1, HuC-3 and “Chinese Originals” mappers support, but those are obscure and it is unlikely that you will ever run into a game using them unless you deliberately search for one.
