|
|
- [EverDrive-64 X7](https://krikzz.com/our-products/cartridges/ed64x7.html) being disappointment for homebrew development (slow USB upload, unjustified price and overcomplicated SD card access).

- [Jan Goldacker (@jago85)](https://github.com/jago85) and his projects:
|
|
- [Brutzelkarte](https://github.com/jago85/Brutzelkarte_FPGA) providing solid base for starting this project and sparking hope for true open source N64 flashcarts.
|
|
- [UltraCIC_C](https://github.com/jago85/UltraCIC_C) reimplementation for easy integration in modern microcontrollers. Thanks also goes to everyone involved in N64 CIC reverse engineering.
|
|
- [N64brew](https://discord.gg/WqFgNWf) Discord server community being very helpful during flashcart development.
|
|
- [FatFs](http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html) FAT32/exFAT library being easiest to integrate in embedded environment.
