How should I format the card? FAT32* when using OS V7-beta, or FAT16 with any older OS version ( changelist ). *Which is the "MS-DOS (FAT)" option in OS X.

Lode Runner. I know there is one on the SG-1000 and I've played it a bit, but would have been nice with an upgraded version for the Master System. There are actually two Lode Runner games ( "Lode Runner" and "Championship Lode Runner" ) available for the SG-1000 Nice! Will have to try the other one out

Try it without formatting first, see what happens. When I loaded my Everdrive with ROMs I didn't bother and just stuck a folder straight onto it with all the games in.

Hey, everyone! I got my Everdrive today and it seems to work just fine on everything I've tried so far. However, I discovered something troubling. My light gun only seems to work on about half of the games. On Assault City, Gangster Town, Laser Ghost, Rambo 3, Rescue Mission, Space Gun and Wanted pulling the trigger only makes the screen flash but I can't aim anywhere. Odd that on the rest of the light gun games it seems to work just fine. I know it's not the Everdrive as I've tested this against the actual games themselves and it remains true. What gives? Is something wrong with my phaser?
Also, is there a way of getting back to the games menu once a game is loaded? So far I've just been restarting.

I've searched the forum for phaser problems but I'm not finding my specific problem here. Some people were talking about it being inaccurate in general but I find it very accurate on the games it still works on. It's weird that I can't get it to work at all on the rest, other than making the screen flash. Anyway, if I knew what I was doing I'd attempt a repair but I'm not sure what to look for.

Have you tried different ROMs?

Have you tried different ROMs? It's not the roms. I've tested the actual games and it happens with them too. It was just coincidental that I discovered it through the Everdrive. THe thing I don't get is if it is my phaser then why does it work perfectly with half the games and then not at all with the others?

Well, I even tried going RF instead on composite and still no go. I guess I'll never get to enjoy Assault City, Laser Ghost, Rescue Mission or Wanted I know a lot here are from Europe and have them working no problem. Can anyone from NA verify this as well?

Now that I've filled my 4 GB SD card up with a whopping 70 MB of SMS games there's still lots of room for demos and homebrews and whathaveyou. Can anyone recommend anything off map interesting enough to warrant checking out?

Perhaps it's something from your TV. Some games are more picky than others about the synchronization between the light-gun and the tv refresh rate.

Turns out I just needed to crank the bright and contrast a little more. Now everything's working 100% Light gun games, 3D games, pretty much all SMS & SG-1000 games are now working on my Everdrive, in case anyone is interested in getting one. Thanks for all your suggestions in helping me figure this out. Happy holidays all!

It's supposed to be an exhaustive list of homebrew, with no ratings, so not that much use in this context.

Hi again, everyone! Well, so far the only homebrew games I've found with any real replay value are Bruce Lee and a couple Korean Super Mario hacks called Super Boy. I've loaded and reloaded my Everdrive card a few times now checking stuff out and then separating the chaff from the wheat, so to speak. I've got a full 18 pages worth of games which comes to about a whopping 82Mb. So, still lots of room on the old card. Any other suggestions for worthwhile homebrews, hacks or otherwise hidden gems?
