If SC64 has the same issue but it can't be fixed in firmware (not clear what Krizz is doing perhaps using internal pulldown, ignoring the pin or driving it low) an interposer with the necessary resistor might be cheapest and easiest solution. Or modifying the cart itself with a bodge pulldown resistor.
The real question is should AD7 have a pulldown resistor or not? May be the other address bus lines have the pulldown and they it was omitted there.
Everdrives are closed source (AFAIK) do it's not clear if the issue would be clear to anyone without access to the internal workings.
Finally, it's convenient for Analogue that they honest to god released a device that was only compatible with real game carts and not piracy - and Krizz bypassed this. Helpful depending on Nintendos legal gaze falls on them.
Since the revision dates on the boards shipped seem to from the time of the Kickstarter last year it's quite likely the fix was known about.
But the cost of a hardware fix (new boards) likely didn't justify it. Hopefully of there are any issues the next revision will include fixes (for this and anything else known).

Re: "Retrobrighting" Might Actually Cause More Harm Than Good To Your Yellowing Consoles
10 years is not bad at all for a whitening process to start to fail.
These consoles are decades old and deeply yellowed. Ultimately the plastics did not seem intended to last this long.
Happily many third party cases exist and molds such that replacement is the only choice of you want your console out and about.
Behind glass and perfectly protected consoles just aren't that appealing to many.

Washington convention as in it was endangered?

@PopetheRev28 was the conpletitionist video also flawed?
Re: Billy Mitchell Has Won His Defamation Lawsuit Against The YouTuber Karl Jobst
Was Jobst really arguing that alleging Mitchell contributed to another humans suicide wasn't worse than being called a cheater at Donkey Kong?
It really shows how out of touch online culture is that Jobst didn't immediately realise he'd gotten way out of line.
Re: Creator Of New Open-Source Game Boy Disagrees That FPGA Is Superior To Software Emulation
@Razieluigi it's not true that a perfect hardware solution would beat a perfect software solution.
The perfect software solution would win by portability alone.
A cycle perfect emulator that you can compile to any platform? That's insanely better than you have to buy this specific complex piece of hardware.
Re: Creator Of New Open-Source Game Boy Disagrees That FPGA Is Superior To Software Emulation
He's absolutely nailed it.
The truth is FPGA based emulators are marketed by and to people who rarely have any idea how FPGAs work
FPGAs have huge benefits but they are far from a panacea.
More importantly they shift the burden of owning original hardware to owning this new hardware.
Re: $69 FPGA 'Tang Console' Can Double As A Retro Gaming Handheld
Worth mentioning that the NEStang and SNEEtang cores for GOW1N tang FPGAs have existed for a while.
This is really nice and hopefully a sign that they will make bigger boards available for further interactions that could compete with Mister Pi.
The Gowin IDE isn't bad either, free version and Sipeed provide an easy license (used to have to sign up manually).
