Phoenixing my own CPS2 arcade roms

[Matskat]

This thread is so full of win.

I REALLY want to own the PCB’s for some of the shameless ROM dumps I have collected.

Maybe mildly off topic, or reverse topic if you will.

Does anyone in this thread know where I may purchase a Jamma capable PCB of Espgaluda or Ketsui?

I didn’t see them on Jammaboards.com.

Thanks!

Converting a CPSII game is retarded… Why you ask? Those 42pin Roms are Masked, aka one time burn. The replacement Eproms are too expensive and not worth converting. Which is why most of the boots out there are Progear no Arashi.

There is more to the conversion process than ppl think and I’ll leave it at that.

There’s my 2 cents take it as you will…

There’s a guy over at the Jamma+ forums that actually converted one game to another completely different game. Just sayin…

I don’t want to steal the thunder from the OP, but Jammaboards is selling a consolidated board of CPS-2 games, including AvP. I have one of these and I’m loving it so far. The roms are all phoenixed and I can confirm that region setting is supported for every title I’ve tried it on so far. If you’re willing to spend a few bucks to pick up a bunch of otherwise impossible to find games, this could be a great option.

Is this the board you are talking about?

It doesn’t mention on the website that it’s phoenixed. And is there a place for the kick harness on there?

Yes there is. I’ve also heard that a lot of these boards come out defective.

Nice! I wonder how much the new set of 42 pin ROMS costs. I should check this out. Link?

I have heard of different CPS2 conversions over the years at different forums. It’s definitely possible with a variety of games. It’s gotta be worthwhile too, or else you wouldn’t see the different guys doing it.

I wonder how far CPS2 hacking can go? Pallette hacking? I bet it could be done rather easily at this point. What about music hacking? It would be pretty cool to switch the music from one CPS2 game to another.

I also have one of those. It is indeed phoneixed, but I encountered a problem at the last tournament that I brought it do. The games started to display some slowdown/choppy action. Like teleporting in HDR online. however I haven’t been able to replicate that problem so I’m not sure where it originated from.

Was there any noticeable input delay/dropping compared to a regular arcade board, if you’ve gotten to test both?

[megaultrasuper]

From what I read on other forums those boards use some kind of hacks in regards to Q-sound and cps-1 games. I suppose you could try turning off q-sound in the options menu and see if that helps.

I personally don’t have any actual arcade boards to test it against. But I do know hat during the play sometimes the player 2 up button would stop working.

Apex are you offering to phoenix boards yet and how much would it be?

[gargamel]

Hello

Still do not understand something when burning phoenix set.

Which eprom must be removed and re-burned with the phoenix set?
also, which file in which eprom?

Thank you

Why the hell isn’t Progear on this PCB --the one reason I would have bought one of those?

Hi, is someone here still playing CPS2 games, I have played these games for a while, Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, Dungeons & Dragons - Tower of Doom, Giga Wing. I download the CP System 2 but when I play the game for a while in the last few days I get the message “error game” after 20-30 sec when the game starts, at the second lunch the game plays well. Any ideas what could be the problem.

Are you running the games on actual hardware or emulation?

[muro]

I download the CPS2 Emulator and I want to play CPS2 ROMs but when I download the game the emulator can’t find. In which folder should be placed the downloaded ROMs. In the download folder or some other one?
