Arcade Talk Episode 1: Capcom Play System II - CPS2

Here's a new series I'm going to be doing dealing with arcade hardware, software and stuff related. On episode 1 I'm covering the Capcom Play System II, also known as CPS2. This is one of my favorite arcade platforms that hosts an outstanding lineup of games. I talk about different region and revision boards, motherboard versions, suicide batteries and Phoenix fixes.

hello,is it illegal to use a green cps2 game.if you are in arcade business.....and can you swich a green cps2 to act as the blue...thanks and sorry for any problems

[BossBossly]

@MrSonidovampi Well games were supposed to be sold and operated in their respective regions but with games this old I doubt you'd catch any flack for having a Japan region game on location. I know I've been to arcades here in the states that have had Japanese region games, may want to check with someone a bit more knowledgeable about the legalities if you're really concerned though.

Awesome video man, thanks for sharing all that info. I recently just got a Marvel: Children of the Atom board and I am very new to collecting arcade boards. What is the adapter you used that goes from your board to your tv? (the composite cable)

[BossBossly]

@foxxmcnastee I'm using a Vega Jr. supergun to run my arcade boards through my TV. I've got a separate video up showing my supergun setup.

Great Vid!! Thanks for sharing.I heard about the suicide battery problem too and glad that someone has found a fix for it..:) You are a serious collector man. Lotsa cool stuff you have there!

I'm glad you liked it. Next to the Neo Geo MVS the CPS2 is probably my favorite arcade system. I've only got one more batch of ROMs to send out to Razoola and all of my games that can be Phoenixed will be.

Great CPS2 video! I give anyone that's not familiar with CPS2 a link to this.

So that's what an arcade game looks like?

A blue cyberbots, those are hard to come by. I have a full blue mega man 2 kit, I also have a blue battle circuit board. You don't have to wait for the code to die out on its own for the phoenix code to work, you can short it out. Also it is now possible to phoenix the cps 2 black boards
