EverSD is a homebrew and development kit that lets you play your own games on the Evercade and Evercade VS.
Don't have an Evercade? You can find a reseller at 'https://evercade.co.uk'.
Download EverLoader2.0 and sync your games easily!
You'll need to have a microSD card (max. 512GB) to copy your games on it.
You can also manually add your games:
Create a new directory/folder in the root of the MicroSD card called 'game' and copy your own games into that folder.
It's easy as that!
(Note for firmware 2.0 and above: You also need a json file in the game directory for each game so the games will be visible in the new menu. Download an example json file over here)
You can find the emulators in the 'Downloads' and extract the downloaded file into the root directory of your MicroSD card.
Head over to the 'Downloads' section to download it.
The following systems are supported by default:
The information below is only applied for firmware 1.3.1 and lower
The Evercade is based on Retroarch and can run different emulators. Simply head over to the nightly builds of Libretro.
Download the desired emulator and replace it with one of the '.so' files that is inside the emulator directory of your microSD card.
The emulators are as followed:
Example:
If you're going to replace 12.so, it means that you need to change the fileextension name into '.n64'. This way, the rom will run with 12.so.
You need to add 6 pictures for the game selection screen.
If you're a Windows user, you can head over to the 'Downloads' section and download Everloader.
This program will let you easily add a boxart, screenshot, title, genre and the publisher logo to your game.
You can do this manually as well.
We need six images. They need to be in PNG file format.
Three are used for handheld mode and the other three are used for Big Screen Mode when connected to a TV via HDMI.
The images must be copied inside the 'game' folder that is in the root of your card.
The six images must have the same name as the game but they end with a number
0.png = boxart for handheld (112x157 pixels)
0_hd.png = boxart for TV (210x295 pixels)
0_1080.png = boxart for the Evercade VS (474x666 pixels)
_gamebanner.png = screenshot/banner for TV and Evercade VS (1920x551)
The files below are only needed for firmwares up to 1.3.1:
1.png = screenshot for handheld (193x146 pixels)
1_hd.png = screenshot for TV (418x295 pixels)
2.png = publisher + title/genre for handheld (348x50 pixels)
2_hd.png = publisher + title/genre for TV (920x128 pixels)
Lets say we have an game called "Hello.nes".
the image files should be like:
Hello0.png
Hello0_hd.png
Hello0_1080.png
Hello_gamebanner.png
And for firmwares up to 1.3.1 also needs:
Hello1.png
Hello1_hd.png
Hello2.png
Hello2_hd.png
You can select a wallpaper using EverLoader and save it inside the 'game' folder that is in the root of your MicroSD card.
You can also use your own wallpaper by manually adding it.
We need 2 images. They both need to be in PNG file format.
The images must be copied inside the 'game' folder that is in the root of your card.
The images must be named:
menu_bg.png = wallpaper for handheld (480x272 pixels)
menu_bg_hd.png = wallpaper for TV (1280x720 pixels)
Does EverSD work after upgrading the system to firmware 1.3.0?
To be able to use your EverSD higher than firmware 1.3.0, please patch your Evercade with the community EverPatcher.
Yes! Head over to the Downloads section to get the right assets and the community patcher.
Yes! Support for external controllers is possible with Firmware 1.3.1 (Support for Firmware 2.0 follows)
All you need is an EverSD USB Hub, patching the Evercade with the EverController and extracting Retroarch to your MicroSD card. Controllers that are tested: DualShock 4, 8BitDo SF/SN30 Pro, Generic Keyboard, 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter (You can connect any controllers that are compatible with this adapter)
Yes! However, you need to apply the latest EverPatcher to enable EverSD.
.
Yes! However, you need to apply the latest EverPatcherVS to enable EverSD.
.
Yes! Apply the latest EverPatcherVS to enable this.
.
Please download the latest Emulators from the Downloads section and re-sync your games using the latest version of EverLoader.

If you happen to get glitched screens after EverPatcherVS 2.0, use the following steps to fix the problem:
These steps needs to be done only for one time. After that, it should just work normally
Yes, this is possible.
Evercade Handheld: Just download the update from the Evercade website and upgrade it. This will overwrite the EverPatcher and will revert back to stock firmware. Once this is done, please do a factory reset inside the System settings!
Evercade VS: Download this file and extract it on the root of your MicroSD card.
Once you insert your EverSD back to your console, you will have a new item on the screen called "Restore to Stock".
Run the application.
After that, simple go to the System settings and select "Restore back to Stock Firmware" (be sure that you are connected to your Wifi network).
The system will prompt if you want to restore the system. Accepting it will download and install stock firmware back on the system.
Note: The system might end up in a black screen and not turning on, which is normal in the later versions. (the LED will flash white once when you try to turning on the system). If that happens, just use EverPatcherVS one more time.
Once EverPatcherVS is done patching, please wait (about 2 minutes) until the LED of your VS is flashing yellow (if you didn't connect your VS to the HDMI). After that, you can connect the VS back to the TV.
Once your system is back on stock firmware, please do a factory reset inside the System settings!
