What can I expect from doing this?

I have the LED one currently, with the slow chip. I got super hyped when I discovered the SC64, and I didn't do enough research. Blind bought the LED one on AliExpress, because it was the cheapest.

so I'm stuck with the bad one when I should have at least gotten the Kaico or EpicJoy. not mad about it, I'm going to just put super lube on its contacts for long-term storage, and store it as a backup in my closet somewhere.

Does the EpicJoy load and just run games better, or closer to 99% accuracy?

Also, my button on my LED sunmercart did nothing for 64DD games. Does the button on the EpicJoy work?

I recently purchased a Kaico SC64 and am having issues with the games not saving. I started a run through of LoZ Oracle of Ages and I saved through the in-game menu and it appeared to be working fine. I came back the next day and no matter what I do, I can’t get the game to save progress past that previous save. I have tried multiple times and different methods (save and quit, save and continue, save and continue + reset on my console etc.) but nothing is working. I also updated the firmware as well. I deleted the save file and now I can’t even get a new one to save in the game at all. Anyone else having this issue?

How do I access that black screen? I've typed everything in and still get error and no menu help

Recently got an N64, never owned one, I only owned the GameCube and when I was little, until I got a PS3.

after some research it looks like EpicJoy and Kaico labs are the two I would go after. I heard they were $40+ for a time but the demand got high and so did the price. Should I wait out the hype or just go for it?
