Yep, that is ALL we need.A Naomi multi cart setup, with on-screen game selection, instant loading, and that *could* be powered by a fanless picopsu is all we need
That, and a bag of chips.

im down for 1. Doubt we'll see ome but I'm hopeful.
It can be done, its just a matter of time and $$$A Naomi multi cart setup, with on-screen game selection, instant loading, and that *could* be powered by a fanless picopsu is all we need
There is already a multi cart, it's called a netdimm + Raspberry Pi.I have already plan to create Naomi Metal Case Consilized, but waiting for Multi Cart
you didn't get it - they want about same functionality, but faster load times, do not require special PSU, more handy in general. AND have like 1/10 of netdimm+Rpi+JVS PSU price
(also they believe Santa Klaus really exists)

The convenience and functionality is what counts IMO

You're mistaken with this. Many of us would be more than willing to fork out more than what a Netdimm + RPi + PSU goes for.
I have absolutely zero interest in netbooting.
I just want a cartridge that I can flash on my computer to a game of my choosing, that I can then plug into Naomi motherboard and it instaboots just like any other regular cart. I know, I'm weird. However, I also I know I'm not alone in this. Personally I don't even care for a menu, a single game per cart is fine with me.
Well, OK. You got me there.
That's just a flash rom cart repro then.
If you want instaboot, netdimm do provide this as well so long as you have a charged li-ion battery.
Considering a working netdimm sells, at worst for €250, and making something equivalent from scratch would not sell below €400 accounting for BOM alone, I can understand why designing an alternative wouldn't be economically viable.
"Insta load" isn't gonna happen, upon selecting the game it would have to be filled in either ram (would be faster than the current SDR used on DIMM), or ROM (would allow not to use a battery but would be much slower than current netdimm, you'd also have limited number of writes on a flashrom), then you'd have to reset the naomi for it to boot to your RAM/ROM, jumping straight from the menu to the game executable could (read, will) cause issues.What we need is a Naomi card that’s boots like a normal with a sd card slot on top that brings you to a menu . Select the game and insta load
I sell working 512mb net dimms with 4.03 firm for 190 euro and a complete NetBoot kit without psu and n1 for 260 ex ship so for under 350 you have a whole working Naomi kit . If you can make a Naomi uni card under that amount with the same stuff then we are golden.
but remember that a Dimm/NetBoot kit also lets you boot all the original gd-rom you have. So you have best of both worlds . That’s why I don’t see the whole Naomi multi card working for me
