CPS3 decryption/phoenixing is getting closer to reality

In the last week it looks like they got ahold of Capcom's security hardware. I can't wait to see what they come up with, I am sure the price on CPS3 boards will skyrocket soon too! :D

New CPS2 information.

idc/Team Avalaunch have provided pictures of the last peice of hardware in the CPS2 encryption key upload process. All that remains is to get all the parts together and working out how to attach it to the game PCB. My understanding is the wiring is missing.

New CPS2 information.

Some light has finally been shed on how the encryption keys are uploaded to CPS2 'b' boards. Hardware required is a PDA, cards of 128kb in size that hold the encryption key and a device that attaches to the 'b' board. I have been passed pictures of the PDA and cards but as yet have no picture of the last peice of hardware.

i thought CPS2 was already cracked, which is why we can phoenix CPS2 games and play them in MAME?

Im confused man... :/
 
yeah that's what their equipment looked like. The tech there used it to revive my D&D ToD with hardware like that.
