Looks great, I picked up the Renovation cart shortly after preordering the Alpha, because it looked like a lot of the games would be good with an Arcade stick. Looking forward to trying it out!
I kind of knew shmups would all work well on this, glad you showed Sol deace , I basically bought the Renovation collection because it had that on it. I missed it back in the back in the day (along with everything else on the collection), it's a really solid cart IMO. I'm also not surprised those pseudo isometric games work better, it's far more comfortable using diagonal inputs with a stick rather than a pad.
Thanks for doing the cartridge dive and your recommendations. Don't have an Alpha but I did make an arcade style setup with a spare monitor I had, just got a wall mount that could rotate and an arcade stick and it made a nice Evercade setup that is Tate compatible with the mount.
Reckon you should be on commission, with the number of extra units after these vids. Would love to play Sensible Soccer on an Alpha, as the rest of the ones you’ve picked out are sound too.
Mi e' piaciuto tantissimo questo video 😂😂😂,sei molto divertente quando provi giochi che ti piacciono. L'altro ieri mi e' arrivata exp-r e provandola ho notato subito che la croce direzionale e' troppo liscia, preferisco quella della prima exp bianca non liscia. Anche tu avevi detto ciò nel video che hai fatto su exp-r nera? Non ricordo.
PS:in questo video dici che Codemasters collection non dovrebbe costare tantissimo,se non erro attualmente è la più costosa su eBay. Comunque mi hai fatto venire voglia di comprare i cabinati, magari a 400 euro la coppia li prenderei. Ma poi vorrei anche 3 joypad alpha e 3 per vs-r nera che non trovo da nessuna parte. Quelli di vs normale ci sono,mah.
Hai ragione adesso e' lei la più costosa. Quando ho iniziato ha recuperare tutte le cassette tra Amazon e eBay nella fretta alla fine mi sono ritrovato con una in più dimenticando che era uscita con l'exp bianca 😂😂😂,buon per me adesso. Ho anche due tomb rider avendo vs r xp r.
Awesome video! Really good to see these on the alpha but these are also superb on the VS and VS-R. Just a pity they don’t sell a good quality official arcade stick for those systems, and paddles too. After seeing so many videos of the Alphas it’s now just so so super disappointing that the EXP-R is so flawed with build quality issues.
Some great picks especially the shooters. I hated Sol Feace on MegaCD as it never made full use of the money I had just spent on the hardware lol, I have way more respect for the cart version and that FM music rocks! Take your time playing Tanzer, let them come to you and not the other way round. You can normally pick out SNES games if some of the instruments used in the music sound a little cheesy, E.D.F is ace and yep that was the SNES version. Water Margin looked very cool on the screen! And Piko Collection 2, has to be one of the next Legacy carts? Worth it just for Top Racer 2. Thanks Crazy! 👍
And you can leave the usb port 1 controller plugged in at all times. You can also change from the Alpha controls to whatever is in usb port 1 mid game or vice versa. 👍
So tempted to get an Alpha but the Aliexpress bartops at half the price are so tempting with 10k games. The problem is you dont apppriciate all the games, whereas evercade you value the individual games
Any idea which joystick controller would best replicate this experience on a VS? Something for a casual player, good to set on your lap and not concerned with fighting games. 8bitdo Arcade Stick? Mayflash F300 Fight Stick or F300 Elite with Sanwa? Something else?
Yes, SSFT2T is very difficult even on easy level, as CPU reads ur inputs and does massive damage. But CPU falls for certain setups. I doubt I would be able to 1CC on he Alpha, but definitely can on the T.E stick on PlayStation 😗😘😍😎😁 The Alpha isn't for high level play, more like low level play 😂🤣
Hi crazy burger there is one game I have been looking for on evercade I don’t know if it was Atari or nes I loved way back in the day it was the one where your on a vertical road you are travelling up the screen fast there are cars and other obstructions but your car has a gun to help, sorry I have forgotten the name of this game I thought road blasters but that’s is another game cheers
Could you please check, whether Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain works on the Alpha? Mine fails to load (gets stuck on the leading screen), despite functioning perfectly on all the other devices.
Thanks for checking that. The problem with cart recognition in Slot 2 also appears on my device (Irem, Technos arcade 1 and other carts). But it seems to be a separate issue related to hardware and quality control (bad pin connection), while the issue with Blood Omen seems to be some kind of software bug.
I think it's only Crazy Burger who's still playing the Evercade Alpha 😂🤣 On Galaga, u need to do the trick where u get the double ship, which will make the game 100x more easy man. U should know this as a OG retro gamer 🤔😎 Mine is still in the box and ain't taken it out 😎😁 it will be a crime to play on it without an Acrylic panel, especially paying £250 for it 😎😃 and u don't know the long term damage to my Legency sd micro memory cards, I mean cartridges 🤣😂😓😨🤤 I'm still waiting on my EverSD first, so I can backup all my cartridges if they ever get corrupted. If u really wanna play these games on a joystick, use MAME and get urself a decent joystick instead & u can even play online too.
@Lorfarius lol, u think I'm rich 😂🤣 I've already collected every Evercade cartridges, Blaze has already taken enough of my money 😭😢😨 They even tried to rip me off when I pre ordered the EVERCADE VS-R like at £85, and after 4months cancelled my order saying none in stock. When I checked the cancelled order was showing in stock at over £100 🤔🤐😤😓😨
Brilliant selection of games! Just highlights the need for Blaze to release their own branded arcade stick :-) Keep up the awesome work!
Looks great, I picked up the Renovation cart shortly after preordering the Alpha, because it looked like a lot of the games would be good with an Arcade stick. Looking forward to trying it out!
Definitely up there as one of the best cart.
8:44 Piko 1, and DragonView? Good taste to showcase!😂👍😎
Sadly underlooked game
@CrazyBurger Piko1 is an awesome cart, shame it went to Legacy.
Still, awesome fun to be had with it!

The most expensive is Technos collection 1
Thanks! Yeah it does feel a bit different. Maybe smoother.

Ho sbagliato cio' che ho scritto, ho due irem 1 non technos collection uno😂😂😂, vabbè prima o poi tutte saliranno di valore 🎉🎉🎉
18:05 and presenting the best game on Piko2...😂
Lol probably fair.. not a well loved cart at all.
@CrazyBurger easily the weakest of the Piko carts, though some hidden gems within
Awesome video! Really good to see these on the alpha but these are also superb on the VS and VS-R. Just a pity they don’t sell a good quality official arcade stick for those systems, and paddles too.
After seeing so many videos of the Alphas it’s now just so so super disappointing that the EXP-R is so flawed with build quality issues.
@Stephen-2097 I'll be doing a small EXPR follow up soon. So far I think my main let down is the awful sound.
@@CrazyBurger That sounds great, extremely interested to see your follow up thoughts.
Some great picks especially the shooters.

Thanks Crazy! 👍
@@MIKandJEAN Yeah I'd expected most of the piko carts will go legacy at some point.. other stuff could well follow. Time will tell.
Double checking, on Alpha you *can* play as Player 1 with a USB Evercade controller, correct?
Yes that's correct.
@@CrazyBurger Excellent... May get an Alpha at some time then...
And you can leave the usb port 1 controller plugged in at all times. You can also change from the Alpha controls to whatever is in usb port 1 mid game or vice versa. 👍
@MIKandJEAN excellent!
So tempted to get an Alpha but the Aliexpress bartops at half the price are so tempting with 10k games. The problem is you dont apppriciate all the games, whereas evercade you value the individual games
Its very weird but my Gremlin cart isn't recognised by my Megaman Alpha. Works perfectly in the VS and Pocket/EXP.
You tried slot 2?
Any idea which joystick controller would best replicate this experience on a VS? Something for a casual player, good to set on your lap and not concerned with fighting games. 8bitdo Arcade Stick? Mayflash F300 Fight Stick or F300 Elite with Sanwa? Something else?
@@mythias I've heard good things about the 8bitdo stick. Though like most, they are pricey
I have a MayFlash F300 Sanwa, and it plugs in and plays perfectly. However, I also have an Alpha under the tree too, can’t wait.
Hi there, pls can you put a link on the video about how to unlock rushing beat
@@dimitrisgiarikis4007 ruclips.net/video/g5oMDM7Yszs/видео.htmlsi=DaUD30xScrUzudGz about 14 minutes in.
Do you also think super street fighter 2 turbo is absurdely hard on the alpha
Yes. Not quite as bad as hyper fighting. But close.
@CrazyBurger they used the same rom as on the street fighter anniversary collection from the second fight on the cpu is way overpowered
Yes, SSFT2T is very difficult even on easy level, as CPU reads ur inputs and does massive damage. But CPU falls for certain setups. I doubt I would be able to 1CC on he Alpha, but definitely can on the T.E stick on PlayStation 😗😘😍😎😁

Spy Hunter?
Mmm.. battle cars, burning rubber...
@darthwiiziusVery nice game
@@triantafillosp
Played it a fair bit on C64, always loved the tune running in the game.
Could you please check, whether Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain works on the Alpha? Mine fails to load (gets stuck on the leading screen), despite functioning perfectly on all the other devices.
@@CZpersi it was fine for me
I'm having problems with the Gremlin cart as well.
@@Lorfarius try slot 2. Sometimes ease it in gently, it'll work. I've had loads of carts that don't initially recognise but do in slot 2.
Thanks for checking that.
The problem with cart recognition in Slot 2 also appears on my device (Irem, Technos arcade 1 and other carts). But it seems to be a separate issue related to hardware and quality control (bad pin connection), while the issue with Blood Omen seems to be some kind of software bug.
@@CZpersi 😪 my EXP-R won't go on. Having charging battery issues. The bloody joys.
I’m after the Codemasters collection! Expensive on eBay etc. doesn’t seem to be selling at rrp now.
@@Nobby19891989 No, sadly it'll cost 2 or 3 times RRP now.
Its probably going to get higher and higher as time goes on so if you want it I'd jump in now.
@@Lorfarius yeah, think I may have to.
Try Lynx Collection 1, lol! 😆
I think it's only Crazy Burger who's still playing the Evercade Alpha 😂🤣
On Galaga, u need to do the trick where u get the double ship, which will make the game 100x more easy man. U should know this as a OG retro gamer 🤔😎

just buy another one.
@Lorfarius lol, u think I'm rich 😂🤣
I've already collected every Evercade cartridges, Blaze has already taken enough of my money 😭😢😨
