We're all holding our breath for this. This project is a game changer for collectors. Who knows? It may even help drive down the price of AES games a bit, which is a big part of why the NEO GEO is on the periphery of true obscurity for most game collectors.

this will be awesome darksoft,instant buy for me.
dont know how long it will take to produce full working finished product.
only you will know how long it will take,do we speak of year or years?
i will read it when you give us more info this month.
i can imagine its not that simple,i wish you succes and you can count me in for a card.
keep up the good work.

There's no way AES prices are going to go down. People collect AES carts to be shelf queens. Their rarity isn't going to be impacted by a multi-cart. If anything, it'll make certain AES/MVS games even more sought-after.
And besides, CPS2 prices were not affected at all. If anything it made common boards go up in price for donor use.
Yeah, the same happened with CPS3, prices only went up.
In any case time frame will be a couple of months, let's say May, june.
I'm working on a piece of code that would allow people to update the firmware in the multi via a file in the microSD. If that file exists, it will update if not, it will work as usual.
That would require a lot of time and testing, so I'll probably try to make it work con CPS2 first. I'm still unsure if that's even possible.

They try not to pre order. There's no pressure so nothing is rushed for a due date.
Once it's ready, orders will be taken and filled.

Some ideas for the next multi neo geo (sorry if ideas was already posted) :
- allow to play neo geo CD game on MVS Cartridge (just to the pleasure to play Scotland course on Neo Turf
)
- as per cps2, boot the cartridge on the last game loaded in the cart and allow this to use in a multimvs 2-4
- and for my dream (but i guess it's impossible) : emulate the rotation of games as per multi slot MVS4 on a slot MVS1
- allow to play neo geo CD game on MVS Cartridge (just to the pleasure to play Scotland course on Neo Turf
)- as per cps2, boot the cartridge on the last game loaded in the cart and allow this to use in a multimvs 2-4

The current design concept that I'm testing is the following:
Cartridge with one big FPGA and normal computer DIMMs DDR2, it will be able to hold 4 games. I'm checking if this makes sense from a cost/playbility point of view. If that's the case I can install a battery so it will hold in the DDR the last game loaded for a period of time (similar to mobile phones, so a week or so).
As this can hold 4 games, you can basically switch games like you would on a MVS 4-slot having a normal 1-slot.
What do you guys thinks?

However, I don't know if people are ready to pay more juste for this option, but I'm definitely ready !
using the pins 26-D to change the game as per MVS2-4 will be awesome.
Games will be loaded as usual from MicroSD you can have so many games as you want. Loading time will be FAAAAST.
What do you mean with that?
There are a couple of options that other multis don't have:
* you can play ALL Games, old, new and even your custom hacks.
* it converts your MVS1 in a MVS4 slot
* It has very low loading game, so makes it similar to existing multis based on OTP Roms.
What other options do you think it shouldh have?
Sounds pretty nifty, but I guess rules out the AES compatibility?
I probably can source DDR2 (work for a tech company, so spare ram lying around all over the place) but I wonder how generally available/cheap it is these days...

It was concerning this point, i think this extra-cost (if i'm understand what you said) is necessary to built the best multi-mvs and i'm totally ready to pay more for all the features (you maybe understand the contrary, excuse my bad english
