Without early adopters, not enough funding would lead to future revisions.

You dont understand the limitations of the VB for flashcarts.

u/KDpoke666 Sep 16 '26

I understand what you mean but we are speaking of 240$… you cannot resolve this price saying that the prev owners are required to create a better one… and you are speaking of people, like me, that bought it 2 months ago… at that moment the new version was already in an advanced state…

I also purchased the old versions. Even a Black white HF32, then a black white red HF32. Then the mrcart rev 1 with plastic shell, then the HB, then the HB+. Things will constantly get revised. Look at cell phones... theyre revised every year. Its nothing new.

Ok… not everyone wants to/can waste money like that… sorry man but your pov is distorted imho.

I do not recommend owning a VB or a VB flashcart then. You should get a switch and play the games via the NSO app. Its cheaper than real hardware and custom flashcarts.

As the owner of one of the first 16Mb carts I can tell you that it could be worse.

u/digitalgamer0 Sep 16 '26

Did you ship yours in to get a firmware update?

u/TheSmJ Sep 16 '26

I don't think mine needs one? It's about 10-15 years old, in a 3D printed case.

u/digitalgamer0 Sep 17 '26

Oh sorry misread. Thought you meant the first MrCART.

So the Multiboy is still coming? https://www.retroonyx.com/product-page/multiboy-vb-multicart

Is this basically a stopgap before that releases, or a replacement?

EDIT: Official word from RetroOnyx about Multiboy: "I don't think [Multiboy will happen], to be honest. MrCART128 does it plus more (sound). But after this many years doing VB projects, never say never. All I can say for sure is that MrCART128 exists and Multiboy does not."

u/dudeway4 Sep 16 '26

No word on the multiboy. Most likely the mrcart128 is the product for next foreseeable future.

This is what I hoped it was but still ordered this new one. I have an older 2 or 3 color version and the last one from him. I guess I can always sell the older ones at some point but eh we'll see. If the one you linked ever comes out I'll sell all 3 and just keep the one you linked.
