Krikzz has just released a new firmware for the Mega Everdrive Pro, with a few interesting updates. First, you can now navigate the menu from either controller, which might be a help if you have multiple controllers connected. Next, Krikzz added the “save state recovery slot” functionality that was also just added to the EverDrive N8 Pro – A handy feature to protect against accidentally overwriting a savestate file. There’s also a few bugfixes and new way to handle savestates, which was implemented to prevent slowdown if there’s a lot of files in the main savestate folder. More info on how that works after the links:

After updating to the new firmware, a new subfolder will be created under the main savestate folder for each game, which matches the title of the ROM. While I like the idea of keeping save states organized this way, I was concerned that meant a lot of manual work moving the files, but NOPE!: Krikzz fully automated the process, by prompting you if you’d like to export your previous savestates to the new folder-based one:
After a few seconds, everything’s transferred over and all your previous saves will be moved to their own subfolder:
All previous savestates load exactly as they did before and unless you checked the MicroSD card’s folder, you’d have never known a change occurred.
The full list of changes since the last firmware update are as follows:
- Fixed cd-audio activation for Pier Solar. Game wasn’t detect cd hardware on some systems
- Fixed glitches when used ram-cart function on Mega-SG
- State recovery function
- Menu navigation works from both controllers
- Changes in structure of save-state folder**
