Thanks for the clarification. I won't bother getting one for my 4-slot then.

Without the unibios does the multi still allow the same type of options as the uni? ie region select etc...
Yes. You can select region.

It should still work with Unibios, right? I have an OMEGA consolized MVS and I'm hoping I don't have to make any modifications to make the Darksoft MVS multi work on it.
We are working on it. Seems to work fine with when the cart is in single game mode. Crashes the unibios when switching virtual slots on the cart. We'll get it worked out.
Really annoying this doesn't support NGdevteam games. Mnemo mod for dreamcast works fine with them.
You act like those games are available for purchase, do you suggest I go pay 1000 dollars for gunlord 2nd hand?
400$ is just a stupid amount to pay for a game, even if it was new.
This should be about preservation, regardless of developer.
I seriously doubt it's that hard to program support considering the games run on 20 year old hardware.

The games were also ported to Dreamcast. Re-written to work with the system.
NGdevteam games aren't standard MVS cartridges. They have a bunch of their own processors and other things on the cart PCB's. Hardware that is not present in actual SNK releases. It's the same idea as to why SD2SNES and others don't support SuperFX chips.
Used NGDev MVS carts pop up regularly for $600, which is just about what they run new (I want to say Kraut Buster ran me $565 or so with the exchange rate), so $1000 isn't accurate. They also don't sell quickly, they just sit there at that price for weeks before someone buys.
See above, their games don't actually run on 20 year old hardware, they just use it as a pass-through for audio/video/controls, really... They're more like modern hardware in an MVS shell.
Your post is full of uneducated statements and unnecessary hostility. For a first post, it's a doozy.

Darksoft is the king of preservation.
Rewrite is correct. NGDev games will never work for both technical and ethical reasons. That's something that hasn't changed since day one.

While I appreciate that you're allowed to be completely honest with posts, knowing the audience goes a long way.
Looking forward to your solution!

Hopefully he can also help NG
ev get their costs down! We'll all win.
It's a fine line. But it is for much of the same reasons discussed here: https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?t=30208#p419753. Plus all the post between this one and your first post on the forum.
Welcome aboard btw!

That's interesting, so what you guys are saying is that even if NG Dev decided to allow the DS cart to play their ROMS, the actual cart wouldn't be able to do so?
I'm sure it would be able to run them with some hacks and jump wires, but unless NGDEV says it's ok, it won't happen. Period.

Wow, for being your first post you sure do sound like a troll...
Just saying.
Forget about the NGdevteam stuff, what I want to know is will this multi cart be
Max Mega Giga Power Pro-Gear Spec?

I wish we'd get a strong hint at what other system the cart could run.
Obviously 100% functionality on Neo systems is first and foremost but I'd like another hint.

No worries, that much is clear and OK. I just got curious if there was an FPGA in the NGDEV carts or something. That one guy said their carts are whole systems and the NG only is a pass through. Now I think that was just hyperbole and it's just they put some minor copy protection on their carts.
No worries, I don't want to pirate the only freaking company still making games for the NG!
Everyone else, just relax and enjoy ALL the other games you'll get to play soon!
And somewhere WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY earlier in this thread someone else said they're FPGA driven or something similar. I simply restated that information. If it's incorrect, my apologies.
They're certainly not your average AES/MVS PCB's though!
