Darksoft Neo Geo MVS Multi Pre Order Is Now Open To All

Just a heads up for anyone wanting one of these.

Darksoft says that he has a little less than 40 left of the 200 count pre order that is now in production and scheduled for a late Jan 2018 shipping date.

Anyone who wants to treat themselves to a nice Christmas present can do so here:

Details from the site above:

---------------

We are happy to introduce the revolutionary Darksoft Multi-MVS cartridge. This cartridge is designed to run
any Neo-Geo game be it existing, homebrew or even games you may want to develop. It doesn't support any of the NGDEV games
and it won't support it in the future as a explicit request of NGDEV team.

The cartridge has the following features:

* Compatible with every existing NeoGeo game, homebrew or your own developed Neo-Geo software.
* Offers 3 simultaneous virtual slots. YES, this cart converts each slot of your MVS pcbs into additional 3 slots to load more MVS games!
* Each slot offers 768 Mbits of memory, enough to hold the largest officially released game.
* MicroSD slot to add new games or software at any time. Supports FAT32 with long file names.
* Runs unpatched original ROMS.
* Includes the coolest menu that we could think of, with several navigating modes and amazing tunes.
* Menu is flexible, many options can be changed by the user.
* Includes support for saving soft dipswitches for each game.
* Includes support for saving High Scores for each game.
* Switch Regions without the need for a bootleg BIOS.
* Easy call back of menu at any time during game play with a joystick+button combination.
* Easy slot change at any time during gameplay with a joystick+buttons combination.
* 8 layer state-of-the-art PCB with Altera Cyclone IV, DDR memory, Flash memory and ARM processor.
* Low power, high density design. Cart weighs less and consumes less power than an original cartridge.
* Updateable firmware and menu by just adding new files into the microSD.
* DDR technology allows to load the largest game in less than 18 secs as compared to 4 minutes of flash technology.
* Only available with a plastic shell for proper protection and storage.
* Includes carton box and labels as a homage to the original MVS cartridge sets, plus a PVC protection box
* Continuous support and improvements. Many more features coming soon.
* An outstanding track record of all of Darksoft's multi-game products!

P.S. The AES version should follow soon after this release.

Screw it. Was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I think it's worth it. Ordered. Thanks for the heads up, Brent.

Amount you'll pay: $713.96 CAD



/me faints



[didn't buy it after i saw that]



Yeah. Definitely not cheap. I figure I can sell off a bunch of my MVS carts to make up for it. I'll only keep the rarer stuff/my favorites and get rid of all the other stuff I was hanging on to.
 
I think it was about $570 USD? It's a lot, but I'm a sucker for quality original hardware multigames.

Holy shit balls... I got three actual Neo Geo machines for less than that...



The way I look at it is this: I want Nightmare in the Dark and a few other high-dollar carts. For what I would pay to have those, I can have them and then some. As far as having original carts, there are only three that have personal value to me and I have them. A converted AES Magician Lord, Viewpoint, and the actual same World Heroes cart that my brother and I used to play at our local mall. Honestly I think that one is the most valuable to me. [emoji4]

And hey....the menu plays the Beverly Hills Cop theme!
 
im waaaayyy to fking cheap for that... great idea tho, hopefully it lowers the price of carts

I get that, I do. I just can't justify that cost for it. I want it, but I have other priorities that supercede it.

At that point I'd just get a bootleg cart like what John did from China. Isn't that on the 161-1 anyway already?

Did I sell you the converted AES Magician Lord? I made one of those a few years ago and sold it here on KLOV.
 
My favorite thing is that it saves the dip settings AND HIGH SCORES!

This makes it way cool to me.

You can change the music or turn it off in the menu.

$570 divided by 150 games = $3.80 per game.

:D

Cool that it comes with a shell and label as well a nice box too.

And I am positive there will be updates to tweak the menu even more.
 
This is an amazing product. My only gripe is I thought US based sellers (like some of our favorite well known vendors) were going to sell but that's okay.
 
If all goes as planned, these will ship late Jan 2018, along with another batch of Sega ST-V multi's.

:D
 
First run of 200 Darksoft NeoGeo MVS Multicarts is officially...

SOLD OUT!

Congrats to Darksoft and Mitsu and to all 200 lucky buyers!
