Metro VG460 Multi Interest Thread

I don't know too much besides being able to play it as far as testing would go.

I mean really that's what testing is, play it thoroughly, try all modes and all levels in all games, and look for any glitches that don't exist in the original game.
good testers look under every rock, and when they find something document it well so someone else can reproduce the issue.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been buried with work the last few weeks. Over the weekend I did have a chance to validate some theories and the graphics issues were a false-alarm. the major graphical glitching I saw was due to a bad connection on one of the sockets fixed by a simple re-seating.
the other graphical glitch that I saw on multiple units I was able to confirm is normal behavior! it happens consistently in the original game board (but interestingly, not in MAME).

Excellent news! Sounds almost done.

I am in for one

This is done and has been done for a little while now. Thanks to @Darksoft for lending me his 460(B) variant donor PCB to test out and confirm function.

No changes are required from my prototype batch to the final design, which is great!

I do want to sell this, and other new multi's as fully assembled/ready to go so I need to figure out how I want to assemble and distribute these.

@Mitsurugi-w pick n place?

@twistedsymphony I'd assemble another totally worth it but it definitely puts a barrier up for others. It would be nice to have it predone for sure.

Hey all, this multi design has actually been done for a while but I never ordered more than the original 5 units from my prototype run.
The prototype was successful and there's no real change to the design.

Currently I'm waiting on parts, and will be placing an order for 20 units so that I have some of these for sale.

So if you're interested let me know and I'll add you to the list to buy one once I've got the orders in.

Those looking for a donor. There’s reasonably priced ones available here:

Best of all, all the ROMs minus one or two are pre-socketed and ready to go on this.

 

[Orakelschaf]

Oh yeah I am still in!

 

[skusuma]

I have the donor board and am ready for this multi

Please remove me from the interest list. It is undoubtedly cool. But beyond my budget at the moment.

Please remove me from the list. (Selling all my arcade related stuff right now so "sadly" this multi is not required any more. - If anybody needs a karate tournament for that multi let me know) Thanks!
