Mark Wolfe Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm talking about innovation and quality Other flash carts exist that KRIKZZ didn't design.. which are better in just about every instance except maybe the SD2SNES which was so on par that KRIKKZ backed the production of it.. sort of an executive producer role. I've said it here before (and have been attacked for saying it because my remarks were mistakenly misinterpreted as being condescending) but when DS's cart does come out , it's going to be very high quality and have a much more accessible way to obtain support for it than the current Neo geo cart. Which seemed to come out of nowhere and had no names or reputations associated with it. As far as I know that's still the case. It reminds me of how the MVS pirate Multi Carts are produced and sold. I don't trust the components it's made with for that very reason. I also think that in the long run, development updates for firmware, menus, & perhaps even compatibility will be faithfully updated long after the release of the hardware just like KRIKZZ still supports all of his hardware That's the comparison I am making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 This was literally just released moments ago by Darksoft I got notified by the forum subscription email at arcade projects Quote from Darksoft: "OK guys, as we wait for the multi to reach mitsurugi so he can show us the full potential of the multi, I'm attaching a short video. There has been a lot of speculation as to how many games the multi support currently, how long games take to load, etc. This video should answer many of your questions. It doesnt show how I go back to the menu with key pressing or how I change between slots, but it's there. Currently there are only 3-4 games out of 264 that dont work. The rest work as you can see. youtube.com/watch?v=ULjqvVCLgLc&feature=youtu.be More coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 you have to join this forum to read it but here is the home of Darksoft, http://www.arcade-projects.com/forums/index.php?board/31-neo-geo-multigame-cart/&s=21d0f5b2fe6382f306063933e898bdbcb1b7c392 He's the KRIKZZ of the Arcade Board world ... everything I have read about how his cart is built, and it is already built, it's going to be better than the Neo geo sd ... it will probably be the same price unless he tries to undercut their price, which would be good for competition I'm waiting. I've waited this long, I can wait longer I have DS's Capcom II Multi Kit, it's incredible. ACCESS DENIED. YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO VIEW THIS PAGE. Anyway for real, Krikzz is planing on doing a Neo Geo card? First I've heard f it. Last I checked his forums, he had no plans to release one.

Tempest Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Currently there are only 3-4 games out of 264 that dont work. The rest work as you can see. I wonder why? Did he mention which ones they are? I really do want one of the Neo Geo flash carts, but the price is just too rich for my blood. Why can't someone just make a cheap multicart like the 121-in-1 (or whatever it is) that is sold for $30 everywhere, but with the correct roms this time.

Mark Wolfe Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Neo geo multi carts are really crappy quality and I've never seen one for $30. The ones that are 100-in-1 or more always have so many dupes it winds up being at most maybe 50 games ... there are tons of good comparison charts on line that show which games are on which carts. I own two that covers a lion's share of the collection but so many of the games have weird glitches with sound, video or both. The reason they are so expensive, and you can't get around this no matter what you do, is because of the chips needed. They are expensive. End of story. Darksoft answers so many technical questions like this that the Neo geo sd team doesn't even admit in the first place nor are they accessible like he is which is something I pointed out a while back and whatshsface attacked me for saying what was merely the truth of the matter. As to why no one has made a quality multi cart with no dupes, I'm sure it's cost related The arcade-projects forum is as easy to sign up to as this one. It's free. No spam, no popups... I am not a solicitor nor do I endorse that forum . (I can't stand the guy who runs it) I only point it out to others here to inform them that if they want to find out detailed information about the Neo geo flash Darksoft is making, you have to sign up to read the forum and all those questions have been answered there ... that's the only reason iv ever posted links to it... people here ask a question and I point to that forum for the answer if I don't recall or don't know the answer. I don't recall which games are not playable but I know they were not games I'd ever played or was interested in. It's probably something to do with a special chip that only those three need or something like that . Might have made the card more expensive (i guess) I bet anything the Neo geo SD won't play them either and it's possible that darksoft refers to the actual roms and not hacks of the roms that would otherwise run (just a guess again, on that) . I wonder why? Did he mention which ones they are? I really do want one of the Neo Geo flash carts, but the price is just too rich for my blood. Why can't someone just make a cheap multicart like the 121-in-1 (or whatever it is) that is sold for $30 everywhere, but with the correct roms this time.

Still, $30 for 70% of the Neo Geo library vs $350 for 100% (plus the ability to add more) isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 That's a huge price shift on those Must be because of the flash carts... that's a new or really recent price drop . They were never less than $65 or so on that site. I know because I bought one last August from the same site ... dif vendor, but I sorted vendors by price when I searched for it based on the chart below They're probably trying to unload them I have two different multi carts but as I said, quality ain't so great on some. If you get them that cheap it's worth getting the capacitor/transistor fixes done on them to fix glitches . The Neo geo forums are full of tutorials and videos that show what sort of glitches exist, why & how to fix them This chart tells you which carts have which games http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/MVS_Multicart https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/SNK-161-in-1-Cassette-Cartridge_60428270170.html Yep this POS has tons of hacks and dupes, but *most* of the games actually work (there are some that are screwed up).

BillLoguidice Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The $30 price is only if you buy in bulk. It's still $60 or so if you buy just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl99 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 the Texas Instruments TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A got the "FinalGrom99" cartridge featuring a SD card interface. It can run (load from SD) all cartridges that got released, including the TI manufactored ones based on Grom instead of Rom chips. As a beta tester of the cart I can say this is the mulit-cartridge/flash-cartridge/sd-cartridge to get for your TI-99 Home Computer. - If the original cartridge does not require a 32kb ram expansion hardware to run, then it is also not needed for FinalGrom99. - Cartridges like Editor/Assembler, TI Logo II, Road Hunter require 32K ram expansion for the program itsself to run, this had nothing to do with FinalGrom99. How to get it? It is about to be released (open source, open hardware) and the developer will sell a production run via atariage.com in the TI-99 related forum.

+thegoldenband Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Regarding the Virtual Boy: any chance we'll ever see new FlashBoy Plus carts made, do you think? And if not, does anyone have a replacement in the pipeline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I've been building the FlashBoy+ carts continually for years. I make small batches which always sell out pretty quickly. Do you want one ? (I can put you on the list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I've considered writing you to get one, but it wouldn't make much sense not having a VB (again) as of yet. It's a good thing you still do them for people on request. I get they're not a huge mover as it wasn't like some high volume console before it croaked so it's a limited audience. Given the expense involved now and the growing homebrew market with it along with leaked prototypes the library probably has doubled in size from 20 years ago.

Austin Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 The Everdrive Black Friday sale has started! Some good deals there and if you don't need the latest and greatest, some of the older carts are being phased out at even bigger discounts. http://www.krikzz.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
