Final Production Run Announced for Darksoft Neo Geo MVS Multi Meta
Darksoft has begun a final production run of the Neo Geo MVS Multi, giving collectors one last chance to secure the acclaimed multi game cartridge before it disappears. Pre orders are open and shipping is expected in January 2026.
In a significant announcement for the arcade preservation community, the creator known as Darksoft has confirmed that a final production run of the acclaimed Neo Geo MVS Multi cartridge is now underway. Recognised as one of the most robust and feature-complete solutions for running the Neo Geo’s extensive library on original arcade hardware, this "last batch" offers enthusiasts a final opportunity to acquire the device directly from authorised distributors before it is potentially discontinued for good.

Pre-orders for this final run are currently open through Darksoft's established network of regional partners. European customers can secure their units via Save Your Games for €599.00, while Australian collectors can pre-order through Candy Cab Club for A$1,049.00 . North American distribution is typically handled by HighScoreSaves, though buyers should verify current stock allocations. According to the listing details, this fresh batch is expected to ship to customers in late January 2026.
The Darksoft MVS Multi is widely lauded for its ability to replicate the functionality of an original arcade cabinet's multi-slot system. Unlike standard flash carts that hold a single game, this unit features three independent "slots", allowing users to load three different titles simultaneously and switch between them instantly, just as they would on a genuine 4-slot or 6-slot MVS motherboard. The cartridge supports the entire retail library of Neo Geo games, alongside unpatched ROMs and homebrew titles, loading large games in under 20 seconds, a stark contrast to the minutes required by some competing flash-based solutions.
This "final batch" status suggests that component scarcity or the high complexity of manufacturing these multi-layered boards may be bringing the project to a close. For arcade operators and serious collectors who have been holding off, this pre-order window represents the last reliable moment to purchase the hardware new, ensuring their MVS cabinets remain playable for decades to come.
