Cobra Strike Down Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Not sure if allowed to start this but to hell with it, no other place lol. And I don’t think the Neo Geo thread likes my posts about this sort of thing clogging up their space I’ll have more info on this tonight, currently at work, but yeah fixed this and modded it myself. Got it running for the first time last night Edited November 12, 2023 by Cobra Strike Down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Strike Down Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Did an easy but extremely useful mod today. 3D printed rubber capped feet! Slide into the existing mounts and finally save my system from scraping on my metal rack shelves. There’s two front stabilizers as well that are 3m taped into the front portion so if you press down on your Cps2 it’s rear doesn’t raise up off the shelf. I have a couple more things to do yet then I’ll be fully up and running! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers, Vampire Savior, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Aliens vs Predator, Marvel vs Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Marvel vs Capcom, Cyberbots….list goes on.

M-S Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Wait, really? These are like some of the biggest classic Arcade games from the 1990s. Street Fighter 2 Turbo is kind of an expanded remake of SF2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with M-S. I don’t understand how you missed some of the biggest games of the arcade for two decades. And it doesn’t end of SF2X. You also have the Alpha /Zero games on this, too. A lot of big IPs originated on this hardware. It’s quite famous. As famous as Neo Geo for its influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-S Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Perhaps you are misunderstanding it, the CPS2 is an arcade board, the previous one, the CPS1 had a home console version and a computer with the same technology, the X68000. But both were extremely expensive and were released only in Japan. However, nowadays the boards are relatively cheaper and the same goes for the cartridges, so some people like to buy them and consolize it. The CPS2 was inside arcade machines like Street Fighter II Turbo, but it wasn't marketed on the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 What you did was beautiful, and have you looked up Battle Circuit? (The last 2D brawler they made for the arcade.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The last 2D brawler they made for the arcade.) Thank you! I have every CPS2 game on my CPS2 as it’s been darksoft modded by yours truly. I got the an and b boards from Japan, made sure my game board was a new enough game to not need the soldering mod, and ordered the kit and installed. The new fan makes it not sound like a freight train and the 3d printed buttons replaced the ones that broke on me. If you’d like, the next game I can boot up can be Battle Circuit! I’ll post it here for you to check out. Been loving the CPS2 so far. I’m a massive Neo Geo fan, but I truly do feel this hardware was just a bit more powerful, and produced some stunning examples. Don’t get me wrong, so did the Neo Geo, but take Armored Warriors. I just don’t think the Neo Geo could produce a brawler like that. It’s honestly a joy to have both side by side. Both are by far and large the most played hardware I have. To the point now my consoles almost are at a point of feeling neglected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Should maybe just name it the CPS1 and CPS2 thread? The hardware is pretty similar, as are the games. That's probably my favorite era of Capcom arcade gaming (late '80s, most of the '90s) with both sets of this hardware. So many all-time classics were created between the two. Even a lot of great, more niche titles are out there and hold up great. They were generally super colorful and sounded good. I love some Mars Matrix and Giga Wing (CPS2), along with Strider and King of Dragons (CPS1), to name a few (out of many). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-S Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Yeah, I think it makes sense to rename this to simply the Capcom System thread, the CPS3 is also great even if it only has 3 games, like the best fighting game based on a manga, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and Street Fighter III. Although I don't know if I would like to own any of them, the gap between arcade and home console wasn't as big at the time,the PS1 and the Saturn already can run CPS1 games perfectly and if they had a little bit more RAM they would be able to run arcade perfect ports of CPS2 games. The Saturn has the expansion cartridge which helps it, and I think soon enough people will patch those games for it. While the Dreamcast already is more powerful than even the CPS3. Still, these platforms still have a lot of games that were never ported to home consoles, like Red Earth and Cadillacs&Dinosaurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 It's a sad thing that what Capcom did with the Cadillacs & Dinosaurs/Xenozoic Tales IP was never ported to any home system. (I bet a Jaguar or Saturn port would have sold decently.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwindoman Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I had Cadillacs & Dinasours for the Sega cd years ago. Was pretty fun 2 player. One person drove the car the other shot the dinasours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) But yeah, I tend to forget about CPS3 because it had so few games. Man, they were impressive for the time though and still look great today. I put tooooons of time into Third Strike in particular.

Cobra Strike Down Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Thanks for that, Austin! Unfortunate CPS3 didnt have many games. Makes it hard to justify the cost to get these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
