Love projects like this. Can we get some tech details? I was recently dreaming of something like this for another boardset...

Does it read roms from sd card and copy onto flash memory?

That's right will read from SD into the flashes and you can run whatever you want. Even homebrews or infinite time versions for training, etc.

It will be placed on the top of a B Board like those SIMM PCBs that some CPS2 have. So you need an A and B Board.

This will not harm your existing CPS2 as it will just replace the ROMS.
When you are tired, you put the roms back and no CPS2 harm has been made. We care.

STV was $230 with one single PCB this will have everything ready to support an LCD and will have two boards, so expect a price of $300

I'm in.

Any chance of another run of the CPS1 18n1s?

I think CPS1 games could be ported to CPS2. I don't see a CPS1 PCB happening to be honest.

I'm in when available!

I am absolutely in. Nice work, as always!

I assume this will work with a suicided CPS2? Or do you need to have a live battery board?
Thanks

That's right. Suicided will work without any problem.

Excellent question.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter!

take my money, sir. I still have my cps2 18 in 1 Chinese hack board, still working fine. I would love to replace it with this.

Hahaha.. I love that Homer quote. Also, I would be in for 1 for sure. Maybe 2.

Definitely in for 1.

EDIT: And somebody needs to get started on a large cps2 multi marquee!

Bummer. So you think they could run on this setup, maybe with some ROM hacking?

Guessing it will work like the STV one where you power cycle the cabinet to swap games? Either way I think at that price I'd be in.

For the LCD I'd cable it so it could be moved.

If its a board that plugs in as basically a rom swap and uses a cps2 a+b board then where does support for a lcd come into play?

The board has a slot for a microSD. You can use the LCD to surf into the drive and choose which game to load into the PCB flash memories.

 

[FrizzleFried]

Ah...no DIPs....

Too bad that display couldn't be outputted to the monitor directly.

 

[Meph]

Ahh got ya. Misunderstood you. I thought you meant lcd support such as cga/vga selectable like on some multiboards.
