it lives
(yes i am watching the muppet show right now lol)
i dont understand why everyone does not phoenix their cps 2 boards its freaking easy and even if you dont have a burner the chips can be purchased cheap
i pick up up a cps2 big blue with a xmen vs street fighter board about 2 weeks ago in a 2 game purchase paying 75$ for the pair (other game was all american football)
the cps2 cab had a cut power cord and was sposed to be not working
got her home new installed new power cord fired it up and lights are on but shes brain dead just got a green screen
soo upon removing the cart i noticed that it sounded like a skittle was rattling around inside hmmmm
opened her up and found this
2 weeks and 80$ later i recive my burner and eprom eraser
so today i clean all the old bat acid of the mobo
replace 2 caps that were pretty much turned to go by the acid
fire up my pc open mame and locate the phoenix files (ps i have heard people say that the mame files are not correct well for xm vs sf they are )
load up a handfull of 27c4002 eproms into the eraser
go buy a pack of smokes and a full throttle at the gas station
come back slap a chip in the burner and bam 1 chip riped
repeat with the other 2 files
and bam after 2 week's of being stuck with crappy xmen cota and simi ok darkstalkers i finaly have a fun cps2 game to play in my dedicated cps2 big blue
moral of the story
1 im board and thout id post my progress
2 dont balk at trying to save your bad cps2 boards its to damn easy to phoenix the boards and not ever have to worry about that damn bat again lol
