HkryCrkStudio Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Does anyone know anything about the multi-cart that John Lester is playing with in this video? It appears to be by Sean Kelly, but John says it's got 154 ROMs on it, and on the menu screen we see "The Ultimate Multi-Cart". John says he picked this up at the Vegas CGE (I assume the 2010 expo). This particular multi-cart is not listed among the multi-carts in NIAD's Collector List so I just want to know if this is a previously undocumented product, maybe a CGE exclusive, and/or if it's a Sean Kelly creation.

NIAD Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I think that this cartridge is the "All in 1" version of the Sean Kelly multi-cart. Pretty much anything that was released at CGE for the CV prior to last years show was made by Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HkryCrkStudio Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Interestingly the menu screen has the same layout as the "All-in-1" except minor differences with the "All-in-1" version below and this one are "CVR8" (or is that an "S"?) replaces "ColecoVision Presents", and "The End-All Multicart" replaces "The Ultimate Multi-Cart". Small differences sure... perhaps this was a revised version of the "All-in-1". I suppose only Sean would know for sure. He probably made 100 different versions...

NIAD Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I haven't been to Sean's store in quite a while, but the next time I stop in there, I will be sure to ask him about all the different Multi-Carts that he made for the ColecoVision. I got a feeling that he won't even remember the details of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Apparently these flake out and become defective. I don't know how many of the ones sold are still functioning. I had two earlier SK CV multicarts that used DIP switches to select the game you wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi man, Yes I did indeed pick this up at the CGE 2010 show. The game does have all 154 games on it, though to be honest lately I haven't been able to get any of them to load…which is a shame, because when it did work, it was pretty amazing! I'm not sure if it was a CGE exclusive, but he was also selling a multicart Vectrex cart too at the show, which I also picked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Unit Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 In other words.... Vaporware. Atarimax is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yep, there is no reason to buy one of these older Sean Kelly CV MultiCarts ever since Steve Tucker released his 128-in-1 USB and then Ultimate SD MultiCarts. The only reason left would be as a collectible if you didn't already buy one back when they were being made and the only MultiCart option. As many are finding out, they were not built to stand the test of time... either that or just poor soldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very interesting, and also interesting about the high failure rate of these carts. I am asking purely out of interest as I do have an Atarimax Ultimate SD which is my go-to cart for almost everything, but if I ever did come across one of these I'd likely pick it up, working or not. I'd bet the failures are due to sub-standard soldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy_Whelan Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I have one of these. Mine is still in mint condition, works perfectly and is an awesome cart. It is a Sean Kelly cart, it does say Multi-Cart on the table, and it does say Ultimate Multi-Cart on the menu screen. Never had any problems at all with mine.

Hey John, You can send that multi-cart to me, I promise to get it working and send it right back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelman66 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Sorry about the necropost. He made several different versions. Not sure if that is the actual "All-in-one". The "All-in-one" brought trouble from copyright holders and he had to put a disclaimer on the cart that said "not for sale or trade etc" I will post a photo if I can find one but I might have to dig it out (a lot of my old cart photos are used all over the internet now...). There werent very many of them made. Atarimax is better for playing your games but the all-in-one is for serious collectors only, so much so that most have no idea. p.s. actually that's my photo of my actual cart on this page lol: http://www.colecovision.dk/kelly.htm Cant really read there but the disclaimer is the smaller text on the top of the label.
