>ruins your console
how
>>11516858Voltages
>>11517204provide concrete real world evidence or GTFO
>>11516826ive had one since 2023 - zero problems
>>11517208the voltages bro
>>11516858Choice paralysis and a severe diminishing of any game being "special" from then onwards.
>>11516826No, I'm not gonna buy your overpriced used games. I'll stick to my everdrive.
>>11517218Just man up and play the games instead of staring at the games list like a depressed faggot then its not hard lmao just takes some executive function like OH NO CHOICE PARALISIZE MY GAMES ARE NOT SPECIALJust play the games nigga or go outside lolMake some moneyBuy a girl ice cream lol bitch
>>11517218>choice paralysisthis is real but also really fucking easy to get around just put like 5 or 6 games you know you'll play on at first and add other games you're interested in playing one by one
>>11516826[citation needed]
>>11516826works on my machine
>>11517204>>11517215The N64ED and the N64's cartridge slot both use 3.3V dipshit. It doesn't have any voltage translation resistors or IC's, because none are needed.
>>11517204That's literally why you buy Krikzz over the chinese shitHis stuff has way less power draw than others
I know these destroy action replays but I never heard about it damaging the console itself
>>11517303Proof?
>>11516826>>11517204finally someone else speaks up about this. even if they don't cause something to fail completely the internal components are still taking damage and are "weakened" compared to consoles that have only ever used official carts. this shit is going to kill so many consoles over the next decade>>11517242not the older modelsgb x5 fucked my snes's ppu2 when i used it in the super gameboykrikzz gives no warning about this
>>11517320>not the older models>gb x5 fucked my snes's ppu2 when i used it in the super gameboy>krikzz gives no warning about thisI don't think that's what fucked your SNES anonDepending on the model you have, the CPU will die eventually
>>11517320>this shit is going to kill so many consoles over the next decadeHow would we know that that didn't just happen naturally due to using a console that's already decades old?
>buy second N64 for $80>still save lots of money>actually prolong life of first one by not wearing and flexing it every time you change games>none of this matters because you don't actually play N64 games>N64 games are not good>meme arrows
>>11517349Rent free, tranny.

>>11517762Thanks for the free advertising bumping the thread, niggerfaggot!
>>11517204bullshit >>11517242bullshit
>>11517805>bullshitHave you never used handheld flash carts?
>>11517807Show me one piece of evidence.
>>11517820Look at battery test videos for handheld consoles with both chinese carts vs ED on GBAHere's an older test https://gekkio.fi/blog/2021/power-consumption-of-game-boy-flash-cartridges/The chinese make PVB's with barely any consideration to that, I think even the recent SummerCart 64, the original designer said something to that effect about chinese copies of it
>>11517838Looks like they just tested some old gameboy carts and one drew more than double power. That's not the best sample and we don't know what is damaging and what's not.
>>11517820Don't let it get to you. Summercarts have been taking off recently due to some e-celeb advertising them, so there's been a counter-shilling war on /vr/ between both chinks and swedes.
>>11517896But now I am somewhat concerned.also>paying 200-300$ for le legit flash cartGamers are the easiest people to scam though how on earth do people pay these ridiculous prices lmao.
>>11517850>That's not the best sampleThere's literally graphs of power draw and three different flash carts there>>11517896Summercarts are good, I'm just telling you to be aware where you buy from because the chinese sellers don't test for power draw, nor mitigate itIt doesn't even mean that it'll damage the console at all but it most often will still use more power
>>11517903I wouldn't worry unless someone has actually tested the chink carts to know if they blow mercery loads in your N64.Personally haven't had any issue with mine that I bought 3 months ago and've used daily since. Not sure when it's supposed to "ruin the console", but like I said, I feel it's counter-shills shitposting to dissuade people from buying SCs.If you're that concerned, you can just buy one from the devs on their site over the chink carts on aliexpress. The trade-off is you'll be paying $100, but at least you're guaranteed a working product over one that may or may not kill your console based on headcanon.
>>11517932Yeah but those look like older ones for the gameboy. Yes it's concerning but doesn't give the whole story.
>>11517932>I'm just telling you to be aware where you buy from because the chinese sellers don't test for power draw, nor mitigate itI get ya'. It's just weird to me suddenly seeing all posts claiming this power consumption thing about the SCs when these things have been talked about for several months now, then recently got popular because of some an e-celeb, what with the few recent threads. Just gave me the impression there's some anti-shilling goin' around because of it.
>>11517957Rather seeing posts claiming such, is what I mean.
>>11517320How old is your GB X5? Normally it has the date on the back
>>11517349Your post is even more pointless than this one >>11517762
>>11517850They just tested things and they tested them bro, it's not a real test or anything
>>11517204>>11517215Wasn't the voltages thing an issue with older consoles that ran at 5 volts when everything these days is 3.3? The N64 IIRC operated at 3.3V. Also wasn't that fixed in later everdrives with added regulation components? Though it can still be an issue with chink clones and cheap repros.
I've read that Chinese versions of the SD2SNES also draw more power than the Krikzz version.
Do people really think a cartridge can somehow request different voltages? That's not how it works.The cartridge slot supplies 3.3V. Period.Any significant variance would be due to a failure in the console's own power circuitry.Anyone somehow doesn't understand this deserves to be swindled into paying $350 for a copy of Glover.
>>11518041What about cartridges with additional coprocessors like the super FX chip? Don't those draw more power than a standard cart?
>>11518067Voltage is one problem. Current draw can vary as well. Excessive current draw can put a lot of strain on the console's power circuitry.
>>11517896It's impressive that you managed to come across as the dumbest person in this thread, given how it started.
