If we keep pouring our money into big pizza were all in for a rude awakening or at the very least a bad case of diarrhea.

That's Flint, man.
To be honest I'm from MI and I don't even know what the fuck Detroit style actually means, but I'm sure as fuck picking one up on the way home from work today thanks to this thread.

sauce over the cheese. The square shaped pizza is the result of being baked in a square pan, which is often not a pizza pan. Rather, industrial parts trays are often used, which were originally made to hold small parts in factories.-nerd https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit-style_pizza

Bubz could eat an HnR covered in laxatives and still be backed up. Two years of impacted fettuccine will do that to a man.

Interested in this. Hoping they go with one game at a time. Four and a battery is dumb. Why not 12 and a battery? Why not two and a smaller battery? Keep it simple, and just load one game into memory at a time. No reason to over-complicate a NG multi-cart.
It would be nice to finally get a cart without all the hacks. Hope this happens, and it's a little better fleshed out than the STV and CPS2 multi carts. They definitely felt like products that were not quite ready for the mass public. I mean, I get it. Keep costs down, and move a few dip switches here or there, but they're far from elegant. I wouldn't even mind having a system where we had to flash via the computer and load ROMs up that way. Just mini USB into the board and a simple script or executable to do a ROM dump to cart. That way it's open for any home brew peeps as well without any real hassle.
Anyway. Looking forward to this one, and hoping it sees a release.

I agree, I think the flash cart should only be geared toward original games and not homebrew unless the creator of the game/rights owner classifies it as abandonware and is fine with the rom being distributed.

Yeah, I hope this has a menu front-end on it, if they got someone onboard who can code the Neo Geo, this shouldn't be a problem...

This thread is all over the place.
I'm down for whatever, I guess. As long as it isn't a piece of shit and frys my boards cause China.

We now know that some games will not be original in the sense that they will require patching, This does not apply to every game however but there will be some that will be the same as the bootlegs out there already and a handful that may not work at all. Its early days still at this point though so it may change. It certainly cannot be assumed today that the device will work with all original games titles until darksoft says so (some game may end up being incompatible). I'm sure its his aim, just don't take it as read yet that it will.
On the two types of devices put forward the specs have changed slightly. The loading time in option 2 has gone from 40 seconds to 75 seconds (for the large games). Option 1 has had the battery option removed. For this reason many look to have changed to want option 1 instead.
Relating to option 1 there is a mixed signal coming from darksoft and mitsu as to how it would swap between 4 games. Mitsu says it will emulate a 4SLOT, darksoft says he does not want to insert code for game swapping. I'm more inclined to think it will more end up as darksoft currently suggests in that it will more closely emulate how a 4in1 multicart would work (without a menu) than a true 4SLOT. On AES for example I take darksofts idea is to have a button on the cart you press and the next game will come in (please correct me if I'm wrong). Its not the ideal way, defo not like a true 4SLOT, but its not bad either from an AES standpoint at least.
When thinking about swapping between 4 games as a real multislot would, its not just the reloading of soft dips you need to think about (although that is a vital component). There is the backupRAM to load/save if MVS. There is the attract mode cycle to handle and only allowing game swapping dependant on softdip setting. Most importantly however would be how credits are handled. On a genuine 4SLOT you insert a credit and can then cycle between 4 games, the system must not be allowed to reset at all during game swaps or you loose your credit. To truly do game swapping like a 4SLOT all these criteria would need to be met. Its possible to do all this from within the cart with no bios help but custom code would be required on the cart to handle it.
I have one query as its not been mentioned yet I believe. Will the SD card placement be inside the cart or will one have access to push it in and pop it out without opening the cart shell?

They have now looked to have scrapped the voting idea / changed its meaning from choosing what cart design they will go with (darksoft clearly said 'research time is over') to collecting more ideas and research only. I feel because the poll put forward did not go the way they ideally wanted or was quite close they are now backtracking some. The specs also changed after the poll was put up.
My personal opinion, both ideas were not the best by a long way (two extremes) so its probably a good thing they have gone back to the drawing board.

The bios controls the game switching as opposed to "polling" and checking if the game is switched. All the lower level functions including game switching are done by bios calls.
