...and it might be arcade related.
This just has to be arcade related. It's the only blank and interesting area for creating hardware. MAME is bound to a capable PC and is neither plug-and-play, nor consumer friendly. But unfortunately, 'arcade' is not an entity, it's a variety of miscellaneous system boards, awry frequencies and diversified resolutions. God bless this mess, but it's tough to simplify for a computer illiterate.

Possibly a NGPC adapter for the AES????
What about a multi game board (like pandora) that actually fucking plays games properly with a native JAMMA connector? Show me one of those that isn't a jpac/pc setup for a reasonable price and I'm wet all over.
You're thinking of the MVS adapter, not a Neo Geo Pocket adapter for the AES.already exist (made by furrtek).
I would have really loved a pgm multi, but it doesn't fit in the 5+ game system xD
I can't figure for now what kind of project would fill a bigger gap than neosd did.
Really curious about your next announcement…

I wonder if it would be at all possible to use one of the PlayStation boards, like ZN2, and use it as a universal base for an FPGA B Board that could run as many PlayStation hardware based games as possible. Given the number of PlayStation based boards and games, this would make quite a multi. The compatibility issues, though.
The way I'm imagining this is, you take the most powerful and "complete" PlayStation A board out there, and get everything else to run on it. Easier said than done, I'm sure, but given the shared architecture, would it even be possible to take Namco's System 12, and make it run not only System 11 titles, but G.Net, ZN1 and 2, and so on.
I'm all for Niko's idea of an FPGA pandora but that means dozens or hundreds of cores to develop.

The motherboard with the FPGA which emulates the system and the Rom Board which can be used on the real CPS1/2 motherboard.
Also, some people have mentioned Atomiswave flash device and a Naomi flash device. While a flash devices for both of these would certainly be more convenient if done properly, especially with an on-screen menu, I feel that netbooting makes them redundant. Pi with the Adafruit screen is pretty much the perfect solution, and you don't even need an Atomiswave, since you can netboot everything on a Naomi. Naomi can also power the Pi straight from the filterboard. What more do we need?
This is more convenient than messing around with jumpers on Darksoft's STV cartridge.
i just got a 21 minute video of the new system...

A ROM board as a storage medium that could be used with both CPS1 and CPS2 A boards? How would that even work?
