I can name one person on this forum that will make that MVS cart and sell it on eBay. Stefano. Yea I said it, I don't like others making profit on someone's work.
Yes his faggot ass would do it in a heartbeat....

C1 = 16meg
C3 = 8meg - C1 & C3 can be placed into 1x32meg C1 for ease.
C2 = 16meg
C4 = 8meg - C2 & C4 can be placed into 1x32meg C2 for ease.
V1 = 8meg - (crossed swords 1 V1 ROM)
V2 = 8meg - V1 & V2 can be placed into 1x16meg V1 for ease.
P1 = 8meg
P2 = 4meg - P1 & P2 can be placed into 1x16meg P1 for ease.
S1 = 1meg
M1 = 1meg - (crossed swords 1 M1 ROM patched)
-------------
TOTAL = 78meg - or 98 meg using less ROMs as above.
*salutes the man*I really do not want to sac original games unless they have already been sacc'd for other purposes.
Great interest so far guys.
Using Ironclad sac carts would be a good way and that's being looked into. The kof97 boots look like an unexpected way to do it also and it comes with the bonus of having a shell though who knows about quality at this point or the types of ROM devices used. I really do not want to sac original games unless they have already been sacc'd for other purposes.
What I do know so far is the V ROM contains ADPCM-A and ADPCM-B and ironclad sacing does work. As to what other boards can be used I'm not 100% sure given I'm more on the software side than hardware side.
There are 2 ways to arrange the data as follows.
Code:C1 = 16meg C3 = 8meg - C1 & C3 can be placed into 1x32meg C1 for ease. C2 = 16meg C4 = 8meg - C2 & C4 can be placed into 1x32meg C2 for ease. V1 = 8meg - (crossed swords 1 V1 ROM) V2 = 8meg - V1 & V2 can be placed into 1x16meg V1 for ease. P1 = 8meg P2 = 4meg - P1 & P2 can be placed into 1x16meg P1 for ease. S1 = 1meg M1 = 1meg - (crossed swords 1 M1 ROM patched) ------------- TOTAL = 78meg - or 98 meg using less ROMs as above.
So using the bare minimum which requires more chips can be done in 78megs. Using less chips means blank areas and a size of 98megs (this is the method used in the cart I have now).
this x1000.*salutes the man*
Custom pcbs don't cost that much but yeah, getting it sub-$100 might be tricky.
The other option I thought of was finding an existing pirate boot board and sac it. There a lot of turd KOF hacks out there, and it may be possible to sac and use it for this.
For example:

In bulk orders you're looking at ~$30 each shipped. Thats the PCB and what looks like a new case. Now, we dont know what the PCB looks like, but I'm sure we can make something like this work.
I would participate as well in funding and make it happen, please count me in.
Now, I think that the boot route is the only way out to make a batch for ppl here, in any case in few months we will see a lot of AES/MVS conversions anyway, but the original batch won't have the original "sin...agree.
It would be cool working on some instruction/flyers set for the MVS kit...far from the CD ver. I got the original japanese flyer somewhere...
Those are two of my favorite Neo games. If they got sacc'd, even for a reason as good as this, I'd die a little inside.

So... since NTM has posted this link I have been in touch with the supplier and they have agreed that they are happy to sell just the cart shells and the PCBs inside separately. I have also requested photos of the boards so someone in the know can try and make an informed decision as to whether they would be suitable.
They are just confirming a price with me based on varying quantities and then I will update when I have it. What are the thoughts on initial production quantities..?
Oh and before I forget... well done again Raz for seeing this project through and releasing to the community. I just wish I could do more to help you get this off the ground.
Yeah I contacted them last night. The problem is they want to put the game on it for us. Not sure thats the way to go.
I don't care to get into some long winded debate about it, and I will only focus on MVS cartridges at this time, but most of the members around here need to collect more facts & become more informed before forming opinions on this subject. The Fatal Furies, World Heroes, Art of Fightings, Samurai Showdowns, & King of Fighters were so overproduced that it is nonsensical to make a moral dilemma out of it. Pick another battle.
Just like there are plenty of cheap Fatal Fury 3 and Samurai Shodown 3 home carts to use for conversions!
That worked out great.
