OK thanks I thought they were the same all together just with a different "boot" rom

I didn't know they were different in size

Thanks!

Well if you feel handy with a couple fingerboards and soldering iron, I don't see why one couldn't make their own.

Sure to be an ugly looking thing though.

They made AES to MVS converter, but never a MVS to AES. I think it's because you would have to sacrifice a AES board to make it, making the project way too expensive for anyone to even try it.

That was before the Unibios existed. The AES bios already included the instructions required for MVS carts as AES is just "added home features" (Which btw the data exists on MVS carts too).
I wonder if anyone has actually made their own adapter for MVS on AES though, since the Unibios came about.

I was talking about a physical converter, the Phantom. A MVS cart won't fit into an AES console.

Well of course, but you can certainly find bare fingerboards to work with that will fit. The real problem, prior to the unibios, is that running an AES game on an MVS motherboard may not work. The home system routines in the AES bios would be missing.
Maybe the AES cart would just run in MVS mode in that case?

Dunno....I doubt anyone has even bothered to try, as it's pretty stupid given AES games cost a fortune for no good reason.
