I was referring to MVS. I know the video had AES in it. Right after I typed it I cringed. Gotta stop doing this when I'm not getting sleep.

Mitsurugi has some issue with his cart, so I may end up having to send him another prototype.
About the features, I prefer to show in video, real, without ambiguity, but here goes some specifications ALREADY WORKING.
*Multi Slot cart. Longest game takes 18 secs to load COMPLETELY.
*Menu has an option to choose to boot without the menu. In that case, those games that were previously loaded are already partially loaded in the flashes, we only load the DDR content which is VERY FAST. That's one of the goals of the video, to show the whole process.
*Nice Menu that you have already seen in previous posts.
*Pressing a key combination you can call back the menu again or change slot to next game.
*Works with any BIOS even Bootleg
*All CRC Checks passed. No game code changed, all protections emulated at FPGA level.
In work:
Fixing some glitches.
Implementing a routine to show the % loaded in each game slot.
Adding new snapshots in the menu.
Improving menu usability.
Using EEPROM to save configurations and other items.
Test, test, test.

I have roughly $700 sitting in my PayPal account, which isn't going to be enough to buy an AES flash cart and Nintendo Switch. I'm probably better off waiting for the Switch to lower in price or appear on the second hand market.

This is GREAT NEWS!
Thanks for the hard work!

Just to be clear the proto cart was fine.....before I touched it. Yes, somehow I fucked up the proto when updating the software and now the cart no longer communicates with the debugging tools. I'm pretty sure that I bricked it while using the debug tools and communicating with my PC.... I feel like an idiot. A new cart with all updates loaded is on the way to me now... Then we have fun.
Sorry for the delay. It's my fault.
What sucks is that since I got my cart, Darksoft has been on a tear fixing things and adding functionality. And I can't play with it!!! My bad.

Fast load alone is worth it to me. The rest is gravy.

I kinda lost track here, but what do you believe is not possible to implement software wise compared to an installed UniBios ?It is very possible. Not implemented yet but it's on the list
At the moment, all the features can be implemented, but that's not the goal of the cartridge. Why am I going to add 2000+cheat database to the cart when people can have it with a bootleg BIOS? We will include those that we thing are crutial or can be done better.
Those are in.
Maybe bricked as the wrong word. Regardless I did something to it and it would not communicate with any of my PCs to restore it. I couldn't figure it out so back to Darksoft it goes. I'm sure he'll fix it in like 5 minutes and make me look like an idiot.
It uses the same tools we used for the CPS2 proto but I just can't figure out why it won't work.
Thanks for the info @'Mitsurugi-w, hope you get the replacement soon!
That's pretty impressive imo ... didn't thought something like that was possible for a cartridge.
The Magic Key MVS to AES converter does something like this. It has a built-in unibios for region changes and cheats. Unfortunately, it does not work for all games, so you must hold down a bi-pass button on the adapter to skip the included bios.
If such functionality is added to the MultiCart, I hope it will have a setting to disable it. I opened up my Magic Key, and soldered the by-pass switch on to avoid holding down the button.
