yes i know, but it erases the sav file.

you know the battery can be replaced though yes?

thanks! i will send a email to the proffesor.

i hope Bennvenn cones through with this cart! that would be a life saver for everyone!

i lost so many hours and time with these Ems carts batteries going bad on me. i guess its my fault for not backing it up on the computer but even the computer will not recognize the cart once the battery is bad.

not that anyone knows of... send an email to professor abrasive perhaps? (i would drop a dime on a dragnderp in a heartbeat if there are any left...)

however, Bennvenn has said that he is working on an FRAM-based cart that is more or less a DnD clone, not sure on the timeline but keep an eye on his facebook page for updates

is there ever gonna be a new batch of these Drag n Derps?

im been always searching for them but its like trying to spot a needle in a hay stack!

my 64m smart card decided to crap out on me again. making me lose my sav and currupt my lsdj rom.
im over these battery carts.

Please make another batch!!

I'm with the prof. I have six derps, but I've never actually needed a backup. no complications, no failures. I have four set up with their gameboys for performance, one sav file each. I have two set up as my "working" carts, with LittleFM so I can keep different savs for different projects.

double!

Yea but i only want ONE rom and one sav and NO MENUS. When im live I just want to run the set without barely looking at the gameboy. For reliability, and data safety and ease of use, I cant speak higher of the derp.

My SD cart can have hundreds of .sav's on the cart, conveniently loaded/saved to a micro SD card. ~2 seconds to swap out an entire 128k save file from the SD card. No reason not to backup your work, it's only a button press away when you turn your GB on so the flat battery argument isn't really valid anymore. Swapping out ROM's is just as easy.

the derp is great is you work on lots of songs at the same time.
with LittleFM, you can easily switch between different .sav

If the battery fails in an EMS your work is gone so backing up regularly is wise, but I trust the EMS because I've been working with them for a while, the flashing software is easy to use, and they have not once crashed or failed on me. I've never had my hands on a derp cart but if it's truly drag n drop for roms and saves, it is then spending more money for more convenience no? I'm happy with the EMS carts myself anyway

Not to mention, the Everdrive still has a battery in it... You're not going to ever have to deal with data failure due to a battery failure with a DnD.

from here:

Whereas with DnD + LittleFM you can store 8 projects (savs) that can each hold potentially a dozen + songs

So whats the difference between these carts and the Everdrive GB? It seems like being able to store thousands of games on a cart would be more worth the money than being able to hold just one.

thanks your your reply
if I could provide my input, I would just like to say that "only" making song saving faster would actually be a very useful feature that would really improve workflow, as saving songs can take quite a while. especially the longer and more complex they get. it gets to be quite a drag when you're trying to finish something. although maybe this is just me speaking of my own personal problem of wanting to save too frequently.
