I just got my Everdrive N8 Pro and I am trying to get everything up and running. I got a NES-001 for the record.

So the PC is on, the Synthnes.exe boots up just fine. The nintendo has a solid red light and the "pling" sound from the USB to PC connection sounds when I turn on the power on the NES. But when I klick the "Deploy Rom" I get an error message saying:

"Could not connect to the everdrive. Please make sure the USB cable is plugged in and the NES is powered on". I have tried with 4 different USB cabels and it does not help.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

One thing I have thought of is if I need to setup the everdrive in some way as it is new. I have not connected my NES with the everdrive to a TV, as I don't have the cables for doing so at the moment. I have downloaded the latest everdrive OS and placed it on a SD card.

Hmm there shouldn't be any setup other than copying over the everdrive OS. Are you connecting the USB cable directly to your computer or going through a hub? I've had trouble trying to go through a hub before.

I'll grab the latest everdrive OS and verify that SynthNes still deploys.

I've verified that Synthnes does work with the latest everdrive firmware. Make sure you've dropped the EDN8 folder onto the root of your sd card.

If you can't hook up your nes to make sure the everdrive is working correctly, you should be able to use the EDN8 link tool on krikzz's site to verify the setup.

Hi, thanks for support! I have ordered cables to be able to connect to TV together with a replacement pin connector. I fear that even though I get a solid red light on the NES it might be a Grey screen trouble. I will update you here once I have tested with the new connector.
