Killer Instinct 2 - 100% Working w/CF Drive & CPS2 Kick Harness Adapter

Wound up with dedicated KI2 board while I was out seeking a KI1 board. Was hoping to trade this for KI1 but got no bites. Fine game. Hate to let it go but I need KI1 for my restore project.

Burned the boot EPROM to work with any drive, added in the Compact Flash drive, covered EPROM's with blue electric tape to protect from UV exposure, and fashioned a CPS2/3 kick harness adapter with legit JST connectors. This will throw right into your SF2 style cab and get you to playing right away! Played this with a few buddies to insure it is 100% working with sound, graphics, controls, etc. Board sold as shown. Will ship with extra care since these KI boards are known to be fragile.

$280 shipped CONTUS (buyer pays 4% Paypal fees). Thanks!

I thought ki 1 and 2 boards were the same and all you had to do was swap sound roms, roms and HD?? If so then that would end your hunt. :)
 
one to two. Not two to one

You can change a dedicated KI1 board to a KI2.
You cannot go from KI2 to KI1.

You can look at the chip that are soldered to the board to see which board it is. CZ

you can go from KI2 to KI1, actually. just like the "upgrade" board to go from 1 to 2, permitting your board has the KI1 hard drive controller on it, it can go the other way too. these were actually sold years ago as "Killer Instinct retrofit kit", they've just apparently disappeared and haven't circulated in the community since then.

the only available option is to do surface mount solder surgery and swap the controller chips between a dedicated KI1 board and the KI2 upgrade board.
