Too right!
Ciderman - I don't think there are any other multi games solutions other than buying dodgy multi PCBs.
The only other cart systems I can think of off the top of my head are PGM, STV, Sega Mega tech, Jaleco Mega 32 and Atomiswave.
None of which, to my own knowledge, have anything like MVS multi carts.
Maybe there's something else out there which uses compact flash like your G-Net. I haven't heard of anything though.
How about just collecting some bog standard PCBs? They're a thing of beauty
Naomi net boot solution with a cf card. Very easy to make. Hardware is quite cheap now also.0 -

Glad to hear you got it working!
How much do those boards normally go for if you don't mind me asking? I'd really like to pick one up.
Oh and on the subject of this thread, looks like I'm should have space for a cab in my new place sometime soon.
Also looks like I'll have plenty of room to host some beers 0 -

Will the cab turn on, or will it be like a beers where we just sit & look at a cab and discuss memories of emptying 20p's into them?
Joking aside, I presume it's all sorted by now?0 -

A working cab at a beers in my place? are you mental?
Hasn't been sorted yet no. I haven't chased it though as I wouldn't have had anywhere to put the thing.
Once the extra room is cleared I'm going to be really eager to get one moved in though. So if the current situation can't be resolved sometime soon I'm going to look elsewhere. Maybe Ronnie or even someone over on Arcade Otaku.0 -

I presume you'll get refunded etc, that's a shame. Kinda lucky though that you didn't have to lug it around during the move etc though I suppose0 -

I'll be getting a batch of candies from Japan myself in the next couple of months if you want to get involved. I'll have more details in the next 3 to 4 weeks about it.

I think I mentioned in another thread somewhere but basically I have a source over in Tokyo willing to sell me candies(even new unwrapped ones, the come wrapped and not boxed apparently) for a decent price.
I went over just before Xmas for some business and also to try and get more info and details from the guy.

On another note, the guy mentioned that a lot of sellers in Euroland buy their candies in bulk from the junk yards(like the ones pictures above except thats China).
Something to think about when shopping for a new cab.

Would probably explain some of the scuffs and knocks I've seen in pictures people post of their cabs :pac:
In all seriousness though, that's pretty insane. It's nice to see some of them being saved and all..but if I were getting a junk yard cab I'd want to be getting one massive discount!
That's a really interesting prospect anyway. Any idea what the story is with the new ones? I take it it'd just be newer models? Or are things like Egrets still manufacturered?
Would be amazing to get an Egret II straight off a production line 0 -

First thing I did was confirm Egret 2's and 3's were available new. They are and he showed me an Egret 3 that was unwrapped a week before. It was mint and shiny and the monitor was a thing of beauty.
Of course the only problem with these "new" candies is that they must have been in storage for while. He even has new and wrapped candies from the 90's. That old and never powered on makes me wonder how the electronics in the monitors have held up. The Egret 3's should fair better as they are from the 2002/3 era but an arcade monitor from 1993 or so that's never been power up, hmmm.
