Here's a fairly simple way to think about it, though it's far from the full reality of differences: the Everdrives are a single PCB. The Neo uses a dual PCB cart so that right there about justifies twice the price. Krikzz himself has said he likely would not make a Neo Everdrive in part because of the end pricepoint. IN FACT...check out Krikzz's own estimate if he were to have sold a Neo Everdrive: http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=90.msg15443#msg15443 If he had been right, then Darksoft's device comes in lower than what Krikzz's might have been.

Not to mention that we are talking of 2 PCBs double the size of a SNES Cartridge each of them, so like 4 cartridges in total.
luckily enough, I have managed to fit everything in 6 layers PCBs. Initially was 8...
I think Krikzz Everdrives have 2 or 4 layers tops.
We are talking about this:
It's 2 more layers than this:
I'll post some pictures of the current design soon.

Like I said D, if you need me to beta test or you know do some quality assurance testing. I am here for you guys. I can send you payment now for the carts.

This sounds like a great idea if possible.

As soon as there is something tangible, stable to test, you'll be the first to know 
No no, the LCD is there to be used as in CPS2, to choose the game to load in each slot. That's intended first, for me to do the testing while there is no menu and for those who don't want to see a menu at all and want to have a neutral cartridge.
There will be one version for sale after these protos are tested. One price.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Maybe it is designed to be mounted in the cart's shell?
Possibly. There are those that have full size cabinets that would like to facilitate easier game selection. Most arcade users are in their mid-30's-to-40's with kids and would like to keep those cabinets secure at all times. Short cable would require nesting the LCD selector in the coin mech, under the CP, or inside the back panel. Making the selection process cumbersome. A longer cable allows for flexible mounting options. Simple user experience tweak/suggestion is all.

Excited to play these in my cab finally, and not deal with ebay prices. Thanks DS and Mitsu!

looks awesome, and the ram will be low spec enough to not require spreaders yea? If there'[s any SMD hot-spots you'll find them through the prototyping process also
