The EverDrive-GG is a flash cart by Krikzz that can play Game Gear, Master System, and SG-1000 games on the Game Gear. It can be purchased as a bare board from EverDrive.me, which can then be placed into a donor cartridge shell or a 3D printed one (it is compatible despite being labelled for the X7). Note that color palettes may be incorrect for SG-1000 games unless you use palette hacks.

The latest firmware can be found on Krikzz' site (File:Os-v9.zip).
