Everdrive64 Repair

I recently picked up an N64 lot, and it included an Everdrive v2.5.

It looked terrible. It had been hand painted a bunch of times, the cutout on the top was done really poorly, and it felt cheap. The internals rattled around in the case. It worked though!

Here’s a quick gallery of my repair process.

Got a really terrible looking Everdrive with an N64 lot I purchased recently. We’re going to have to fix this.

Terrible paint job, looks looks like it was spray painted with about 10 coats.

New stickers from Stone Age Gamer were very reasonable in price. I also picked up a $5 sports game as a donor cartridge.

The original Everdrive didn’t have any of the metal internals. It was a really lose fitting, rattle-sounding mess. Some modification was required to make the authentic metal shields fit.

Test fitting in the new clamshell.. Success!

Installed into the N64 and looking imperious!

I’m extremely happy with the results, and for the price, it was well worth it as a small project. I’m sure I’ll be getting many years of use from this purchase.

I can’t seem to find them on there either.. seems they are having difficulty with the site at the moment. Maybe try emailing them directly?
