not likely to happen. F2 isn't a "Mobo"<->"ROM board" relationship it's a "Mobo"<->"CPU Board" relationship, where the CPU board is common across games but the mobo is not. And each unique mobo has lot of unique customs (anywhere from 3 to 8 per game), sometimes extra RAM or other co-processors that are maybe only shared with one or two other games.Is there any chance of an F2 multi? Or are the ROM boards just too different? I always have hope that everything with a common motherboard/ROM board will eventually have a multi
you can see how many different customs are used here: https://www.arcade-projects.com/thr...-into-something-else.11225/page-2#post-197549 All of that would need to be incorporated into the "multi" A multi would involve emulating all of these customs and co-processors with FPGA or similar and at that point you might as well just run Mister because you'll have more emulated hardware than original hardware. Also consider how much work and effort went into doing that for the Q-Sound FPGA replacement on DS's CPS1 multi and now multiply that work and cost x15 for games that people honestly care a lot less about, never-mind the argument that's not really truly original if it's being emulated on an FPGA.
so yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for a multi.
