What's new
No microSD port, and thus no ability to update multi firmware or installed ROMs without some external programmer(s).
Yea I'm a harsh critic, keep that in mind when I say TRASH that I will not own ever.:thumbdown:
You're in the wrong hobby if using a programmer once to write every version of every known game is a bridge too far my dude

The CPS1 multi has been officially confirmed and is currently being developed as a co-venture between Darksoft & Apocalypse.

As of now here are some details (subject to change):

The multi will be similar to the CPS2, so it will will have:
  • Pricing will be similar to the CPS2 multi, so expect it to cost somewhere around $350-400 EUR
  • LCD screen for game selection/loading
  • Load roms from SD card
  • Any CPS1 game board set/combination should work with the multi
  • As of now it looks like it will comprise of a B+C board together as a kit (so you should only need the A board with either the 10 or 12Mhz crystal) The C BOARD being integrated might change, you might still need a C board)
  • Support for spinners, etc
  • The addition to support Q-Sound is being looked into, no promises it will make it into the final version

I want one please. Thanks
 
Funny... I'm wondering why you are in the hobby.
Using a programmer ONCE? I'd be writing this thing every time a new color pallet hack was released for SF3.

No I demand perfection (esp at that price) and this is NOT optimized for the end user (end user = game junkie that flashes constantly).
Namco System 1 isn't exactly a hotbed of ROM hacking activity man, and tbh the last thing I want is for my arcade gear to feel like a bootleg famicom multicart with 800 worthless hacks but you do you, if you can't see how absolutely rad it is that something like the S1 has a multi at all and feel like it isn't perfect until you can get Fuckboi420's masterpiece hack of Pac-Mania where he wears a rasta hat and eats blunts* on there idk what to tell you

*this doesn't exist but I'm willing to put a bounty on its creation
 
Add me to the list. I guess it is a must to be on it If you want one of these kits in a foreseeable future ;)
 
Namco System 1 isn't exactly a hotbed of ROM hacking activity man
Point taken, its not... But the design makes updating harder, that is also undeniable.
Why not fix this issue?
Why insist this undeniable fact is a non-issue, based around your personal feelings on a users need to update.

Would it add to the price? Sure.
For me this isn't about cutting corners, denying design flaws/issues... Its a never ending quest for arcade perfection.
Yea China/161's carts got your back if you just don't care about what you run for hardware/quality.
And yea... You could always take the pro route by converting top/proga boards with a programmer.

This is the "perfection" route, you clearly aren't on board. *shakes head*
 
The Namco S1 multi is purposely designed the way it is. It is a system that is not common with a limited number of potential buyers. Therefore it was designed to be simple. If the multi did not exist in this current form it would not exist at all. It is the first in a line of multis others may not see the value in producing.

Why does every multi need sd cards, and menus, and bells and whistles? Why does every goddamned thing have to be 'cute' and 'perfect. The game doesn't care if it exists on eproms, or CD, or flash module, or sd card.... When you are playing the game it doesn't fucking matter. People who want LED back-lit cases to show off what they own on YouTube might care. Those who just love playing games quite frankly won't...give...a...fuck...
 
The Namco S1 multi is purposely designed the way it is... it was designed to be simple.
I actually really like the Namco S1 multi. There is zero load time when switching between games, unlike the multis that use sd cards. Programming the six modules was faster than burning all the EPROMs for the Sega S16 multi. Also I have not seen any reports of bad memory modules for the Namco S1 multi. Where as many people in the Sega S16 multi threads are having issues with their EPROMs.

A screen to select the active game would be nice. But that can be added easily via the existing dipswitch header.

We know, we know too well... That's why the S18 multi is similar than the Namco System 1 multi (uses flashes on modules).
 
Why does every multi need sd cards
Because this code is copyrighted, you can't sell it loaded... and even IF you could (sell preloaded) that would still be a problem for updating (yes I understand this need maybe low but you asked).
and menus
Never said I needed menus on everything, in fact I actually prefer the LCD screen method over menus but I'm also AOK with dip switches.
Why does every goddamned thing have to be 'cute' and 'perfect.
Are you saying you wouldn't date this woman?
Why does every sexual encounter have to be (with a) cute and perfect (woman)? ;)
