Nope, you should not change the order of games or anything.

I received the selector recently and finally ordered and received a ribbon cable to match. I briefly tested today and it’s working out well. It’s a very nice product and is much more convenient.
I haven’t set up the sound or reset wires yet. That will be a project for another day.

I just received my selector and multi cart. I'm looking for some clarification on the reset wiring for the selector. If I'm understanding correctly:
Or, do both the multi cart and selector get wired to pin 8 on IC12?
- the selector board resets the multi cart when you select a game
- once the game is programmed successfully, the multi cart will reset the STV motherboard
- STV Multi Cart gets wired from the RESET pad to pin 8 on IC12.
- Selector gets wired from P4 or P5 to the header pin directly above edge connector pin 55 on the Multi Cart
Or, do both the multi cart and selector get wired to pin 8 on IC12?
Actually... NO, unless someone likes to have something different looking displays.
Chinese seller sent me displays with yellow backlight and black characters. Works fine, but color theme is not as expected. I requested a refund...
Waiting to have more parts...
jeffpin: fast reply, just follow the manual and you should get fine result:

If/when you have more ready I would be in for +1. PM sent.
When I wire according to those instructions it does not auto-reset after loading the game to memory.
I ended up wiring as I wrote above and it is working fine. I'm working on putting the multi cart in a spare game cart and doing some clean wiring.
Hmm, I wonder if there is some issue with the instruction then. That PDF is pretty early one...
Anyway, perfect that you got it working.
Somebody here also sold 3D printed covers. I don't remember anymore who...

I'm close to finalizing my ST-V multi setup, I think I just need a cart label and a kick harness.
I wanted everything mounted clean on a board to slide into my Blast City.
I ended up making a custom cable for the multi-selector and the power, reset, and sound wires. The ribbon cable just seemed too messy. I also tried to be as discrete as possible with the sound and reset wires. I took a cart from a dead game and cut holes for the wire harnesses and access for the SD card and selector headers just in case. I also switched the multi-select board header pins to right angles so the wires lay flat.
The back of the ST-V multi is a great place to get sound and ground. I used 2 right angle header pins and a 3x1 dupont connector, the spacing is perfect.

jeffpin - your setup looks really cool 
I know that the covid-19 situation is really difficult around and some people have limitations like not to get anywhere else than in gorcery shop and pharmacy etc. Also some countries have shipping limitations... BUT:
If somebody other is interested in these selectors, I have more ready for sending out.
ALSO, due to previous mishap with shipment from China, I have now also another display type to offer. Price is exactly same for both options, and this is limited time offer. The other display is the familiar white characters on blue, another (limited availability for now) is black characters on yellow background... See the comparison picture below. I would say that the yellow version might be better for bright places... Picture was taken with flash on, so the actual look on hand is brighter on both as it shows.

I would like to buy a selector please.
@Kujako - PM coming
@ark125 - PM answered
@8bitforlife - PM answered - also here: Afaik no one has installed this with C2 yet. Basically it should be possible though. I can't confirm or test as I have none C2 boards or multi for C2. For M72 I'm going to test myself, when I find time to put my M72 kit in use... Some day - at the moment life is pretty hectic.
