Things You've Recently Bought

I bought a collection of physical albums on CD from HMV a few days ago (Green Day, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, and Linkin Park—I'm a true punk rock fan) as well as "Radiohead: The Bends" that people often meme about because of its cover artwork, never listened to them before so I wanted to listen to something fresh for a change.

I have also bought an Evercade VS as sorta like a cheap emulation box that I could play my own games onto; it's already modified with EverSD's Custom Firmware so it can load games from a microSD card (or via their adapter) through RetroArch. Just now need to sacrifice a cartridge to do it with, to which I have bought one which didn't cost much other than $5. The cartridges are just SD-cards-on-a-chip (or SD-NAND) on a PCB so the pinout shares the same to that of a microSD.

When I first got the controller, I knew something was not quite adding up. The buttons felt mushy like cheap controllers I've dealt with in the past, the controller itself is bulky and doesn't fit my small hands, like, it crams into your palms to where you have to hold them at a slight angle, but nonetheless I do not like them. Sure, I could find another USB controller that *may* be compatible with this system, but I digress.

The console is cheap as you would expect, and for 40 bucks, I'd say it's okay for that price. The Evercade VS is powered by a RockChip RK3328 SoC with a ARM Cortex-A53 core, a low-power processor found in many Android TV boxes.

Does that Evercade have features for those games? Smoothing or at least something to help it not be complete pixel on pixel in 1080p?

The Evercade has scanline shaders (I usually keep those off), aspect ratio can be changed from its original ratio, have pixel perfect results or set it to full-screen in-game to fit the dimensions of the screen. I've been using a 1080p curved monitor that has two HDMI ports which just so happens to work with the Evercade, just no sound is being outputted due to only taking video; however, quality on the other hand is not that bad.
 
The only reason I know Evercade stuff is because MetalJesus talks about them every now & then, whenever the thing gets those cartridge updates. If it weren't for him I'd probably think this is some cheap chinese knockoff console or something. I'm surprised to hear that even this things modable, but I guess people just mod everything huh!

I only know about it because of GBAtemp. If you go onto the EverSD website; under the 'Downloads' section you'll find a download to the EverPatcher. You connect a mini USB data cable to the power plug (which also acts as a data transfer), power on the system whilst holding down the small button on the back, then patch the firmware using the tool. This is so much easier, like, softmodding a Nintendo Wii, for example.

But, the part you'd also need to do, is setup the ROMs for the microSD card and modify a pre-existing cartridge with a microSD breakout board. I wouldn't spend 50 orso bucks for an EverSD as it's too expensive, it does practically the same thing as a DIY solution. https://eversd.com/downloads
