UPDATED BY DARKSOFT ON 7th June 2023
New Firmware release! Yes! 7 years later, we still keep supporting this multi. This new Firmware fixes the problem with not original or slow microSD and also the problem with MicroSD written in a Mac. You can download it here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/fh8tak9kfw8lyah/Taito_F3_FW_old_version_Mac_Fix.7z/file
IMPORTANT! This firmware is only to be used with the Old version of the Taito F3 multi. The one that has only LCD and not OLED screen.

We are happy to announce that this project is ready to take presales NOW!
The cartridge has been kept in the dark for a long time, to avoid competition from having the same ideas. A batch of 100 units is on production as we speak and they'll be ready to ship in about 5 weeks. Several beta testers have been trying it and we are happy to say that it works flawless with all games. It's a HUGE PCB that fits perfectly on the plastica cage! Due to the size of the PCB and amount of components price is $375, which is IMHO very reasonable given the price of the whole catalogue or what would cost you 2-3 quality games.
I wanted to hold this a little until I started taking orders on NEOGEO, but it doesnt make sense anymore as we have solved most of the problems with NeoGeo and presales will open also soon, so SALES FOR TAITO F3 are open NOW:
