SummerCart64: The $50 N64 Ali Express Everdrive X7 for Nintendo Retro Gaming

Описание: What is the SummerCart64?

SummerCart64 is a custom made cartridge (commonly referred as a flashcart) that allows you to develop and play games on the N64 console. It is the first N64 flashcart that is feature complete and, at the same time, completely open source.



With fast I/O, integrated support in libdragon / libcart / UNFLoader, and well documented API, testing your homebrew on real hardware was never this easy before!



SummerCart64 employs features not available in other N64 flashcarts, like 64DD hardware emulation, automatic save backup during gameplay, or ability to behave like a stock game pak with direct mode, making it the best choice for both players and game developers. Please check full feature list for more details!

SummerCart64 features

Enough space for your ROMs

Flashcart embeds 64 MiB of fast SDRAM memory, with additional 14 MiB available from the flash memory, totaling up to 78 MiB - more than biggest known retail ROMs.



Blazing fast I/O

Both microSD card slot and USB port operate at peak speed of ~23.8 MiB/s. Even largest retail ROMs (64 MiB) can be loaded in just couple of seconds.



Never lose your progress

Every known save type found in the retail games is supported. Saves are automatically flushed to the microSD card (or via USB with PC app attached) during gameplay - no reset button press is necessary!



Complete 64DD hardware emulation built-in

Forget about 64DD ROM conversions - SummerCart64 can play disk dumps directly! Combo games (N64 cartridge + 64DD disk) and multi-disk 64DD games are also supported.



Every region is welcome

SummerCart64 supports every N64 console regardless of its region. NTSC/PAL switching is done automatically and last detected region is stored inside NVRAM.



Run games with ease

Browse, run and manage your game library right on the N64 console with the N64FlashcartMenu - a dedicated menu software for the SummerCart64.



Full control of boot process

Direct mode makes testing possible without any interference from the bootloader embedded into SummerCart64, perfect for trying out custom IPL3 replacements giving you control right after N64 boots up.



Dedicated terminal PC app

Powerful, and yet simple, sc64deployer app greatly enhances developer user experience.



Outstanding developer features

SummerCart64 was born as a device for homebrew development first. As a consequence it incorporates many features to ease development of your own games:

microSD card interface with simple, block based, protocol.

Fast USB interface with well documented protocol.
