The Channel F Multi-carts are back on sale if you've got a Channel F or intend on picking one up at some point I highly recommend buying one of these especially as the later Zircon releases are very difficult to find plus this cart includes the awesome Pac-Man homebrew.

Channel F Multi-Cart
Thanks for the heads-up, Sut. The Channel F is the next console on my to-buy list, so I'm considering this. I take it that you probably have the multi-cart already... if so, how is it? And how long does it usually take the guy to get it built and shipped out from the time you purchase it?

Channel F Multi-Cart
Sure it took mine about 4 - 6 weeks my memory is foggy but it wasn't a ludicrous amount of time.
The multicart is programmed very well, navigating it is easy once you get your head round the Channel F controls and selection buttons. It will take you a couple of goes to get used to it, luckily the guy prints instructions on the back of the cartridge (like the real Channel F carts).
Only heads up I would give is some Channel F carts had multiple games on, so reference a Channel F website for game listings. For example you select the cart number on the multi-cart eg Videocart 1, then select the game from the G? Prompt using the console selection buttons eg 1 Tic-Tac-Toe, 3 Doodle etc (it sounds more complicated than it is, but until you've had hands on with a Channel F it might not be clear).
