Long time no see !!! It took time for me, but I finally had time to answer your email and a couple of other ones :)
Hey hey,
been a while also :) Glad to see your still going at it. Noticed on ebay also the other day that there are 3 different pre-flashed cartridges there too that are red:

Some Hong Kong seller.
Noticed you posted some videos with my custom cases when I did a search for zone66x lol. Awsome :D

Hello Alex, it's cool to see you back :)
The new kind of pre-flashed Action Replay-ish cartridges exist from around 2017 I think. Some hardware revisions physically separate flash ROM for Pseudo Saturn Kai and backup memory, which have the advantage to make Pseudo Saturn Kai still booting even if cartridge backup memory ROM is bricked because of intensive usage.
Theses cartridges use "legacy" chips (which already existed during the commercial era of the Saturn), so it's funny to see that it took around 20 years to finally get dual flash ROM Action Replay carts becoming a thing ^^
Hehe, I preciously keep your custom cases for personal usage : I like to keep one functional cartridge every time I make minor changes to Gamer's Cartridge PCB, and as your cases are all different, that's very convenient to identify which one have which kind of PCB. And yes, I prefer to use your cases when taking a video : theses are way more classy than regular Action Replay one :)
