>Never underestimate customer loyalty and being the first to get something right.
To be fair I don't like to deal with clone carts because you never know what you're going to get or what they might have skimped out on or done wrong. Just because it's seemingly working does not mean it's not doing something wrong.
That being said there is no reason to get an N64 Everdrive when the Summercart is even better yet cheaper, and it's an open source project so anyone could theoretically make one and unless the person making it really screwed up should have no potential issues with updates. It's a bit different than cloning a closed proprietary retail product.

Isn't the XStation literally just an ESP32? Looking at pictures of the PCB, there's almost nothing on it other than the ESP32 itself and what appears to be a small number of resistors, capacitors, and voltage regulators. Compare that to something like the Mega Everdrive Pro and that thing is packed with components, including ARM processors and FPGAs.

Ah yes, the schizo "Anyone who ever talks about any product here ever MUST be a shill and has a secret army infiltrating a long past it's prime basket weaving troll forum with the explicit purpose to advertise to people who would be adverse to being advertised to anyway" take. Because /vr/ is such an untapped treasure trove of a consumer base that is worth spending all that time and money trying to shill on compared to every major retro gaming site on the planet signal boosting such products instead.

I know the feeling, I bought a PS-IO before the XStation was a thing. At least your Everdrive works properly and the creator isn't an asshole loading it with DRM and withholding updates. Also at least you had yours for years, the XStation was announced shortly after I got my PS-IO. There will always be a new better product someday. I don't think it's that bad if you got yours years ago.
