Does Anyone Own a Gundhara PCB?

The point of a multi is that a donor is easily available and even better if it's cheap.

Hardly anyone will buy it as they simply don't have a donor and cannot afford one.

It’s impressive to be so wrong in just one post.

The point of the multi is whatever the hell the person is designing it wants it to be. Donors are still cheap, especially compared to the expensive games. And yeah, some people will convert and expensive game to a multi, because I can.

Option 1, please.

Caved in and copped a donor.

Co-signing option 1, if Rezon works.

I think down the line perhaps options 2 or 3 could be released as a “deluxe” option if you have the drive, but you’ve got the “meat and potatoes” of the system sorted out methinks.

Case in point, I will never play Where’s Wally on the System 18 multi. Ever. I guess it’s nice that it’s on there. But I will never play that.

FWIW, what donor were you having issues with Rezon running on @twistedsymphony

Zombie Raid. It fails to boot in a way that seems like a ram address error. So my suspension is that it doesn't play nice with the extra ram. It shouldn't be an issue to work around on a multi but I've got to confirm that's actually the issue first.

So here are the 3 options I'm faced with:
1. move forward and finish up the hardware design as is and release as an 8-in-1 (probably could be released this year)
2. release the hardware with a few extra empty slots empty (probably could be released this year but will likely be about $80 more expensive) and hope that I or others can expand the list to 12 or 13 later

Let me know what option people think is best.

I would be super happy with Option 1.
Option 2 would be great, because Sokonuke Taisen Game is awesome :thumbsup: (and well worth the extra $80)
Sign me up (got a Zing Zing Zip board waiting for this)
 
A thought that recently occured to me is to leave spots on the multi for future expansion.
That way it can be added if wanted.
That pleases option 1, option 2, and option 3 people.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party.
I couldn't find any definitive info about potential compatible donor PCBs in your big post about a potential multi besides Zombie Raid, people are mentioning Zing Zing Zip, anything else?

Confirmed Donor Boards:
  • PO-078A (used by Blandia)
  • PO-079A (used by Eight Forces and Zing Zing Zip)
  • PO-122A (used by Zombie Raid)


Potential Donor Boards (theorize they'd work but have not confirmed)
  • PO-122B (used by Zombie Raid) <- a slight variation on the other board, I have one to test/confirm
  • PO-092A (used by Daioh)
  • PO-072-2 (used by Prototypes) <- doubt anyone will use this due to rarity
  • PO-120A (used by Gundhra) <- doubt anyone will use this due to rarity
  • 93111A (used by War of Aero and JJ Squawkers) <- doubt anyone will use this due to rarity
