Action Max:

• DISCONTINUED: Action Max Collection Epic Fail Edition: Funnily enough there was a dvd released with all 5 action max games on it. Only 20 were produced.

Arcadia 2001:

• IN PROGRESS: Arcadia 2001 Multicart: An AA member is working on this dip-switch multicart which includes all of the standard games and more. Previous multicarts have been very limited runs, but from what I've read, it sounds like multiple runs are a definite possibility. Pricing for the first run is only $95 shipped!
  
• DISCONTINUED: Ward Shrake's Arcadia 2001 multicart.

Astrocade:

• DISCONTINUED: Ward Shrake's multicart, the 8-bit domain multicart, and Gambit's UltiMulti were all dip-switch multicarts for the Astrocade.

Atari 2600:

• Harmony Cartridge: SD flash cart able to play any game 32KB or smaller (one original and some homebrews are >32KB.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Cuttle Cart: a multicart for the 2600. The user needs an audio source like a CD player or computer (think Supercharger).
  
• DISCONTINUED - Krokodile Cart: It is a writable multicart that will play most 2600 games without the need for an audio source.

Atari 5200:

• Atarimax Ultimate SD Multicart for Atari 5200: A SD Flash cart that can play the entire library(?) including Bounty Bob Strikes Back and MULE. Also included on the SD card are some Atari 8-bit comp conversions.
  
• OBSOLETE: Atarimax has a USB flash cart that will hold 128 games.
  
• DISCONTINUED: A52 MaxiCart: A USB Flash cart that can hold one game at a time. It has 32K which is enough for all of the commercial games besides Bounty Bob Strikes Back.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Atarimax, 8-Bit Domain, and Sean Kelly all had dip-switch multicarts.

Atari 7800:

• IN PROGRESS: Harmony 2: SD Flash cart that should be a lot easier to use than the CC2.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Ah, the Cuttle Cart 2, an excellent mmc-based flash cart for now, but others will be coming shortly hopefully.

Channel F:

• Fairchild Multicart A menu-driven multicart which obtains all of the original games and a demo of the homebrew, Pacman. It may take a while to receive the cart, but the sooner you get your order in, the sooner it will come.

Colecovision:

• Atarimax Colecovision Ultimate SD Multicart: SD Flash cart which will play the entire library. Also included on the SD card are a couple homebrews: Mario Bros and Mr. Chin by Jean-Francois Dupuis.
  
• OBSOLETE: Atarimax has a USB flash cart that will hold 128 games. Very easy to use, believe it works with any game. You can use this cart with the Coleco Adam as well.

Creativision:

• DISCONTINUED: Creativision Multicart: a non-writeable dip switch cart that has been sold out for some time, there was a lot of love put into this one.

Game Boy:

• There are a number of usb flash carts that have a rather small capacity and are mostly meant to be used with LSDJ I believe. The two most popular are the EMS Smart Card 64mb and the BleepBloop USB Cart.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Various flash carts are available with the most famous being Bung's GB Xchanger. You can also use the Flash2Advance cards with GB Bridge.

Game Gear:

• Everdrive GG: Micro SD Flash cart that will play Game Gear and Master System Games. One reviewer claimed it had near 100% compatibility. You can use up to 2GB Micro SD cards.
  
• DISCONTINUED: GG Pro 32M: A 32Mb parallel flash card from the old tototek line. Supports Game Gear and Master System games.

Genesis:

• NEO Myth MD 3-in-1: Purchase here/Forums here: Supports most Genesis and 32X games. Support Master System Games and can output FM Sound. Can load SEGA CD BIOS from cart and can use as a SEGA CD RAM cart. Essentially, this cart took the capabilities of both tototek flash carts (described below) and gave it SD card capabilities. Requires a NEO2-SD or similar Nintendo DS flash cart. Requires a NEO2-SD or similar NEO2 NDS flash cart.
  
• Everdrive-MD: Supports most Genesis and 32X games, Virtua Racing definitely does not work though. Supports Master System games. Will load SEGA CD BIOS from cart. Does NOT have SEGA CD RAM cart capabilities or FM Support for SMS games.
  
• DISCONTINUED: MD Pro 64M: A 64Mb Parallel flash cart from the old tototek line. Supports 32X but only for your region. The MegaCart is a parallel flash cart that is also a part of the old tototek line (and Evermind's). It can be used as a smaller flash cart, but it can also be used as a SEGA CD BIOS loader and SEGA CD RAM cart.

Intellivision:

• Cuttle Cart 3: Micro SD Flash cart by Chad Schell for all of your your intellivision needs. I was surprised these were still in stock.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Chad Schell's Intellicart, games had to be loaded from your pc via a serial cable one-by-one.

Jaguar:

• Skunkboard: a USB Flash cart that allows you to load one game at a time. This product has gone through a couple revisions, but Rev 2 and 3 have 8mb of flash memory available. You can read about the difficulties with creating the last batch through the link, but there may be a few Skunkboards available once they are produced. The rumor is that this will be the last batch of Skunkboards made.
  
• DISCONTINUED: There exists a jaguar flash cart that was used by devs back in the jaguar days. Apparently the software is a little poor since it's not a commercial release. They can hold one game at a time and can be a little pricey.
  
• VAPORWARE: The JagCF from jagware is both a flash cart and an expansion hardware for the Atari Jaguar. There have been many heated debates between homebrew devs, jagware, and "pirates" about whether or not to include the ability to play commercial games on the JagCF.

Lynx:

• Lynx Multicart: An AA member has created a USB Flash cart that holds one game at a time, but it will handle all game sizes up to and including 512kb. (To order PM Lynxman)

Master System:

• NEO SEGA MKIII Myth flash cart: Purchase here/Forums are here. Supports up to 16Mb roms. Has an FM chip on board, so you can hook up the audio cables to the cart and out to a stereo. Requires a NEO2-SD or similar NEO2 NDS flash cart.
  
• Master Everdrive: Supports up to 8Mb roms (not sure if any commercial games were larger than this). Does not have FM chip support. You can use up to 2GB SD cards.
  
• DISCONTINUED: SMS Pro 32M: A 32M Parallel flash cart from the old tototek line. Works on a mega drive with an adapter like this.

NGPC:

• FlashMasta/LinkMasta: a USB Flash cart that can hold one game at a time. As far as I can tell, this is trying to recreate the Bung Flash cart to increase availability and to update it to USB. They are available for order now.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Bung Flash cart, various sizes with 32mb being the highest. Parallel interface. Info is here.

Neo Geo:

• (Please let me know if any of this information is false, I'm no expert on these.) There are a number of multicarts available these days with an increasing number of games. Here is a list of carts and what games they have on them (Keep in mind there is a 150 in 1 and 161 in 1 released since this page was made). The 138-in-1 multicart is supposed to be the most accurate(?) due to the attached board which loads the game into ROM on the cart and restarts the Neo Geo. So it should behave as if a normal cart is inserted. I've heard conflicting accounts of multicarts not working with multi-slot machines and unibios, please do some research before purchasing. I've also heard that Jamma Boards and Excellent Arcade are good, safe places to order from, but again please do some research before purchasing.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Multigame Doctor 2 with the Neo Geo Interface can play the older and smaller games with special roms. A good picture is here one pic down.

NES:

• The Powerpak made by BunnyBoy (widely known member of the nesdev boards) is a compact flash-based cart which allows most games to be played (I believe it was 95-98%?). Certain mappers do not work correctly, but the mapper files are stored on the flash card for easy upgrades. Saves are not handled automatically.

N64:

• Everdrive 64: SD Flash cart which can play all but 1 or 2 games. Supports all save types including FlashRAM with the latest BIOS Update.
  
• 64drive: CF or Micro SD Flash cart which can also play all but 1 or 2 games. Last I heard, it supports all save types including FlashRAM.
  
• NEO N64 Myth flash cart: Purchase here/Forums are here. Requires a NEO2-SD or similar NEO2 NDS flash cart. You can update it via their Nero Dual Programmer.

Odyssey 2:

• 233-in-1 Odyssey 2 Multicart: a non-writeable, dip-switch cart that contains the entire library(?) and some homebrews including Amok! Compatible with the Voice and Plus games for the g7400. (This replaces the 128-in-1 multicart) At $42.50, this is a steal.
  
• Sören Gust has a RAMcart which is a writable DIY cart. He also has a Flashcart in the works, and a Megacart which seems to be a DIY multicart.

Pokemon Mini:

• Apparently there have been a number of flash carts for this system, info is here. There's instructions on ordering the latest flash cart, but I haven't heard back from him as of 1/5/2012. On the forums he says he has been very busy lately...

SNES:

• NOTES: Here is a list of the games which use special chips. No commercial game was released in the US with more than 48mb, but 128mb will allow you to play Star Ocean and other fan translations.
  
• Super Everdrive: SD Flash cart which can play up to 48Mb games. Does not support games with special chips except for DSP-1 (if you order it with the DSP-1 chip installed). BIOS can be flashed using JTAG. Saves are handled automatically.
  
• SNES PowerPak: CF Flash cart which can play up to 128mb games. Does not support games with special chips except for DSP-1. BIOS chip is socketed, so it can be reflashed using an EPROM programmer. You can also send it in to retrousb.com and pay shipping to have it reflashed. The mapper files are stored on the FAT file system (easy updating). Saves are NOT handled automatically (can be a pain).
  
• NEO SNES/SFC Myth Flash cart: Purchase here/Forums are here. Supports games up to 64Mb. Does not support games with special chips except for DSP-1 (you must attach a DSP-1 cartridge, similar to the old T-adapters, to use DSP-1 games). Requires a NEO2-SD or similar NEO2 NDS flash cart. You can update it via their Nero Dual Programmer.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Super Flash Cart 64M: A 64Mb Parallel flash cart from the old tototek line. A T-Connector is also available to play DSP-1 games with.

TurboGrafx:

• NEO Power PC-Engine flash cart: Purchase here/Forums are here. There are a few different versions of this, the best being the 128Mb with the added save functionality which includes 2Mb of RAM for games that save, ex: Populous.
  
• DISCONTINUED: PCE Pro 32MB: A 32Mb Parallel flash cart from the old tototek line.

Vectrex:

• VecMulti: A Micro SD Flash cart that has extra RAM so that it can play Animaction as well as the rest of the library of carts. This is the one to get.
  
• There is a recently released vectrex 72 in 1 multicart from Andy(?). It has more games than sean kelly's multicart. You can get it here.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Vecflash: This was available at first as a Serial Flash cart that could hold up to 15 games (+menu), and was later released as a USB Flash cart that could hold up to 31 games (+menu) at one time.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Sean Kelly's multicart v2.0 is available for $75 shipped on ebay whenever he gets a new batch completed, otherwise the price on ebay is usually double from resellers. This has every released cart on it(besides Animaction), plus a good many homebrews.

Virtual Boy:

• FlashBoy Plus (direct link, you can order through vectrex.biz): a USB flash cart which holds one game at a time. It has 16Mb which is enough to hold all commercial games. The Plus version supports saves.

Wonderswan:

• NOTES: Spotted a new wonderswan linker on yahoo japan auctions, hopefully there's more to come!
  
• DISCONTINUED: WonderWitch was a development kit meant for amateur devs. Some homebrews that were created using the WonderWitch will only work with the WonderWitch.
  
• DISCONTINUED: Wonder Magic is more of a general purpose flash cart.

Credit goes to StarshipUK for the BBC Micro, C64, and Vic 20 lists. Thanks man! Aquarius:

• Aquaricart: an AA member has put a lot of work into this multicart. It includes the entire library of Aquarius games plus some interesting extras. Comes with a full-color cartridge label and manual.

BBC Micro:

• RetroClinic DataCentre: This is a 5 in one interface comprising of 1- USB Host Controller, allowing connection of virtually any USB device including Flash Drives, Keyboards, Mice etc. 2- USB Slave Port, allowing connection directly to your PC. 3- 1 Megabyte RAM for use by drivers, filing systems or the user. 4- 64K Byte Non-Volatile RAM, used as a small RAM Drive for storing commonly used programs and utilities. 5- 16 Bit IDE interface, compatible with the existing CF system, but will also allow in the future the full range of 16 Bit IDE peripherals to be used, e.g. CD and DVD Drives.
• mmbeeb: This uses MMC cards and supports the Stairway To Hell collection of games. Several people on the Stairway To Hell forums make these.
• DISCONTINUED: RetroClinic Compact Flash (BBC HDD) Interface CF Card: Emulates a BBC B Hard Drive. As such it can be complicated to a BBC novice when adding games from floppy images or the internet and will also require you to purchase a copy of ADSF explorer to do this. The has been replaced by the RetroClinic DataCentre.

Commodore 64:

• 1541-III: An SD Card device with a small mobile phone style screen. It does not support multiload or multidisk games. It also works with C16/+4/116/SX64 (when powered from C64/Vic20 Tape Drive Port) and Vic20.
• 1541 Ultimate-II: The most advanced cartridge device for the C64, and replaces the original 1541 Ultimate cartridge. It uses a SD card and will support multiload/multidisk games. Supports the latest GameBase V8 games set with use of a special app that is available on their forums. It also supports C64 utility cartridge emulation. It also has limited support for the C16/+4/116 and Vic20.
• SD2IEC: I do not know much about these. They use SD cards and I guess they are similar to the 1541-III but without the screen. They are also available in a kit form to build yourself. It supports the CBM FileBrowser for C64 and VIc20 machines.
• Cheameleon: I do not know much about these. They have a MMC/SD card slot with MMC64 compatibility and 1541-emulation. The cartridge also has a VGA socket to output to a monitor display and a cable loom to connect to a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
• C64SD: The C64SD is a interface Plug & Play device that emulates the Commodore floppy drive. You just need an SD card where you upload their package of games. It is basically it is a modified SD2IEC drive so it use the same firmware, it seems very handy because it does not require any cable, just plug it and nothing else, it use the tape port for the power and has a male connector for the serial port, it fits on C64 and Vic20 machines but since it has an additional power jack it could be used like other SD-Based drives to any other CBM machine. It supports the CBM FileBrowser for C64 and VIc20 machines.
• DISCONTINUED: MMC64: Replaced by the MMC Replay and now the Chameleon cartridge.
• DISCONTINUED: MMC Replay: Replaced by the Chameleon cartridge.

Commodore Vic 20:

• Mega-Cart: An advanced ROM cartridge which contains all Vic-20 games originally released in cartridge form. It also contains many other high-quality games originally produced for tape or disk as well as some modern original works of Denial Forum members. It also contains Demo's, Utilities and can be used as a Memory Expander cartridge.
• DISCONTINUED: Behr Bonz: It was a ROM Cartridge which had 127 games installed and made by eslapion. The original website which contained instructions of how to make this no longer exists. There was also a small run produced by Phu from RCM in the UK.

SC-3000:

• SC-3000 Survivors Multicart: A multicart for the Sega SC-3000 computer. It will run any SC-3000 and SG-1000 ROMs along with some of the tape games. Please note this is a hobbyist cart that requires an EPROM burner to load games. This is likely the only production of the multicart, so get in while you can! Price is $90 + shipping, and a $40 deposit is required when pre-ordering. Please visit this page for more information and ordering.

There is an online store still selling DR V64 JR, and DR V64, and Upgrade ram, plus game save carts. I came across them while thinking about making my DR V64 better. I was one of the morons that paid $440 to import it from Bung in the late 90's

I don't know if the parallel to USB adapter would work with something of that nature.
Neoflash MD cart is supposed to be released this summer. It really is the all-in-one cart for the genesis. Unfortunately it uses a gba flash cart to store the roms, but the flash cart is written to via USB. So this should work for you. There's also a 32mb usb version that used to be available. He might have stopped making them to make way for this cart.

Reserved for a vintage computing flash cart list that will cover the atari 8-bits, c64, spectrum zx, tandy, apple II, ti-99, and more! Hopefully, I will have this up in a week or two.

Thanks for this list. Very useful, but a shame there are so many that are Discontinued and impossible to find now.

Multicarts and Memory Devices do make it much easier when taking systems to Retro Gaming Events, rather than having to take loads of Carts, Tapes and Disks, and its better to play on the real machines, rather than emulators.

Did you get around to creating the Computing list? There is a few I know of, but you might know of a few that I don't.

I'm sure it's easier, but some flashcarts are becoming so rare and valuable, I'd be nervous about bringing it!

You should add in the (discontinued) Sean Kelly Colecovision multicart. He wasn't allowed to sell them.

[madhatter667]

Just a general FYI, there are many more multicarts for the NES/Famicom. Yes, the PP is a cool piece of work, you'll get no argument there. BUT There have been pirate multicarts for the NES/Fami for quite some time. More for the Famicom than the NES, but they are out there. I could post some pics if wanted/needed. Plus there are some tems like the Maxi-15 and the Spectravision, and the Action 52, and there is an even more rare one, but I cannot remember who makes it at the moment.

I have about 3 Famicom multis (111-in1, 300-in-1, 110-in-1... but there are repeats and hacks in there). For the NES, all I have is a 260-in-1.

[RangerG]

If you have some of these, please comment on ease of use. I had a few flash carts in the past and they were a pain to use (sold them). I have the Atarimax 5200 flashcart now and it was so easy to set up and use (saving up now for the Coleco version).

You are confusing pre-loaded multi-carts with flash carts, and I think the PP is the only flashcart availble for the NES. I don't own any multi-carts, but I have several flashcarts including the Powerpak. I much prefer the flash concept as I like the idea of just loading the games I want. Plus it allows you to load hacks and homebrews as well.

Besides, the OP already said he wasn't going to include so called "pirate" multicarts, whatever that means!

It's a mixed bag really.

I have the Powerpak, the Atarimax 5200, a couple of EFA Linkers for GBA, and a DS Fire card.

One thing I HATE is having to use a program to upload games to the cart, it should really be drop and drag if possible! Then again, I'm not a programmer or an engineer, so I don't have the insight to know what is impossible.

So here's what I think:

NES Powerpak: Super easy to setup, just pop the CF card in your reader, drag roms to the card. You can ever sort them in subfolders if you want. Cons, some issues with certain games, may be already corrected, haven't checked in a while for new mappers, kinda expensive at $135.

Atarimax 5200 cart: Software gets the job done, but I still prefer drop and drag. Playing is great, games load fast and limited library means you wont have a zillion games, so folders not needed like NES. Wish it had a reset button on it (if even possible), have to toggle power switch on 5200 to change games. This is really a fault of the 5200 design so I shouldn't complain.

GBA EFA Linker card: Works great once you have the games loaded, IF you can get them loaded. Four words to describe this process PAIN IN THE ASS. First, the USB uploader will not work on any motherboard that uses an Nvidia chipset. I have three running PC's normally. Mine, my wife's, and my multicade and all three have Nvidia motherboards. I had to pull an old desktop with a VIA chipset out of mothballs just to load games on the card. At least I could do it over Remote desktop, but still. Then, the way to upload games is horrible. First, it adds the games in the order you load them. Then if you want to swap out a game that is in say, slot #2 and you have 12 games on the card, you have to remove games #2 though #12 and reload them back on it you want them! Again, once you have the games you want to keep on it, it's pretty nice to be able to play Game Gear games on such a nice screen (with full game saves at any point in any game!) and NES games to boot. On the upside, these cards are CHEAP through Dealextreme, why not buy 3?

DS Fire card - You have to use the DS as a linker with a GBA sized card that plugs in the bottom, and the flash card is a standard DS sized card in the top. Loads fast, drop and drag! Only issue for me is I have trouble with DS game save formats, usually resulting in the game either crashing or not loading at all. Not sure if it's a problem with the card or the rom dump, and I haven't put a lot of effort into figuring it out yet. As with the above, super cheap.

The gentleman behind the project is making them by hand and sends out an email to each person who made a preorder when their unit is ready. Only when it is ready to ship will he accept payment. I understand that he hopes to have all orders filled by early summer so you haven't much longer to wait.

I know the chap behind the Behr-Bonz (which is a lovely cartridge) and I haven't heard about another run. Either way, you can't really compare the two. The B-B only has 127 game cartridge images and none of the additional features.

1541 Ultimate:
http://www.1541ultim...ntent/index.php

SD2IEC:
http://www.nkcelectr...2iec-boar2.html

You could add the uIEC and MMC Replay to that list although none of those are multicarts, per se. They're more like disk drive replacements, some with additional functionality. The 1541 Ultimate is the the only real substitute as it emulates (for lack of a better word) the disk drive completely.

[madhatter667]

Actually the title of thread includes multicarts in the title, not just flashcarts. Also, he didn't mention anything about this not including pirate carts, just that this isn't the place to make an argument for, or against piracy. Unless that part about not making an argument for or against was in relation to someone loading ROMS onto their flashcart.... I may have interpreted that part wrong. Just trying to contribute as a whole. Perhaps I am being more liberal with my interpretation of the wording than others have been.

There is the R4 for the DS, the Ninja DS, and likely a ton of other DS flashcarts/flash media readers.
There is a ROM device for the SNES... ROM Dr. or Disk Dr... something like that. It allowed you to load ROMS on your SNES. It's not exactly a cartridge, but might be worth a mention?

Actually the title of thread includes multicarts in the title, not just flashcarts. Also, he didn't mention anything about this not including pirate carts, just that this isn't the place to make an argument for, or against piracy.

Sure he did, in the second paragraph.

I'm not going to include any multicarts that only contain a small number of games, like the pirate famicom multicarts for example.

Maybe what he was getting at was the fact that there are probably dozens of gray market Famicon multicarts out there, most of them never see the outside of Asia.

Wow, I totally MISSED that part! Sorry, I must not have been entirely awake. There ARE tons of pirate Famicom carts. Though there are some that are unlicensed multis, like the Action 52, and the Maxi-15.
Once again, my bad, I really should have noticed that first time through.

The FlashBoy for Virtual Boy is no longer for sale.
