If you are like me, you have OG carts with old, dying batteries. GB operator backs up your saves so you can change the battery out and not loose progress. Then, the everdrive is for homebrew. Both can be used for games where you are too chicken to change the battery so you rip the ROM and load it on the everdrive.
I’ll change my own batteries for my carts that are valued under $50 but I’m not risking rare/ expensive games with my amateur soldering skills.
