I lost my cart in a move and need a replacement, but I'm having trouble finding one anywhere now. The ones currently available on AliExpress are ungodly expensive for what they are.

Where did they all go? :(

Thank you for your time.
 
161-1 V3 carts can be modified and reprogrammed, which basically results in the removal of all the junk bootleg titles, and the addition of most of the missing games in the Neo Geo library (there are still a couple games that won't play correctly). A lot of the bugs that plague the 161-1 (crashing, bad sound etc) are also fixed after modification.

Because of that, V3 carts became incredibly desirable, and all stock was pretty much cleaned out. Maybe more will be made in the future, but since multi carts tend to already be built from scavenged parts, I don't think anyone knows for sure if they will be back.

You can find more info in the megathread on 161-1 development, as well as a build thread that @rewrite wrote some time ago.

Thread 'Reverse engineering 161 in 1 cartridge to change Rom games'

Hy all,

I am wondering if it would be possible to reverse engineer the 161 in 1 cartridge.
they are cheap, but the game list is not incredible.
so the idea would be to be able to understand how it works and replace some of the games with better ones...
any idea if it has already been done ?
maybe it is called the Multi MVS...

any idea where to begin with ?

Thread 'The NeoGeo V3 161-in-1 Multicart Upgrade Build Guide'

Alright. So what are we building? @ack @Vortex @ArcadeTV and some other fine folks I'm forgetting in this moment (please chime in, I'll add you to the credits) reverse engineered, created a daughterboard capable of holding more games, and created an improved menu for the V3 MVS and AES 161-in-1 Multicarts.

Tons of details spanning the entire project here:

There was some discourse in that thread about the difficulty of this project, as well as things that...

How is a v3 identified and what's particular with it?

They are blue and from my understanding have fixes applied to them, the older ones are yellow and I think v2 was clear.
I also think you need v3 for pick n' mix for the 4.0 bios, but I could be wrong about that. There was a reason I got the v3, but I don't remember what it was.

Oh wow, I didn't realize people were modding them. I guess that explains a lot. Lol
I haven't been around in the arcade space in a hot minute.
 
The 1st version banana yellow 161 cart should also work with Pick N Mix if that's mainly what you're after, those seem to be much more available than the V3, expect to pay maybe $80-100 as opposed to $200-250 for the V3.

I see some v2s for 125.

I'm starting to think it might just be easier to get one of those new backbit carts than it would be to spend the money on one of these multicarts now.
at $40-60 it was nice, but $100-200+? Shew. Lol

Anyone happen to know the price range of one of these modded "Vortex" carts? Just curious.

Hi,
Around 300/350$ for a vortex maybe a little more.
 
If you’re just looking for a cart that works with pick n mix I have a v1 161-in-1 you’re welcome to have if you’re in the US. Just pm me your shipping info. Have a vortex cart so I don’t need it.
 
That's super nice and kind of you man!

That's super nice and kind of you man! I'm just going to get the backbit though and be done with it. :( I'll miss pick n' mix.. If they ever get it working some how with the vortex carts I'd 100% swap down the road. Lol
