Everdrive for NES and Famicom are currently in development. Full details have not entirely been released.
I consulted with kevtris of NESdev to get a taste of what this cart could potentially do for chip musicians.
First off, what are the chips on board?
(There are) 3 level xlators, small flash ROM, large sector based flash ROM, two SRAMs, CPLD, FPGA (cyclone 2) and a USB chip.
Chatting a little more we noticed that the FPGA on the Everdrive FC is larger than the one in the PowerPak. This means it could store more logic all at once. My first question was could it potentially fit all known expansion audio chips at once. The answer is that it certainly could.
Now multi-chip NSFs could potentially no longer be a "hack."
Let's wait for more information to unfold.
