Can a 1st gen Cave SH-3 PCB be converted to a DDP-DFK one?

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

I got to thinking since I have an Ibara PCB, is it possible for Cave to convert such a 1st generation produced SH-3 Ibara PCB into a Dodonpachi-Dai-Fukkatsu PCB since they are both SH-3 based anyways (or is that just wishful thinking)? ^_~

And is Death Smiles II PCB running on the newest SH-3 hardware or is it using an entirely new Cave PCB mobo hardware from the ground up?

No. First of all Cave won't do it (even for a fee), and second of all DDPDFK is on a modified SH3 board. It has more RAM in some parts, so an Ibara PCB wouldn't be able to run the game.

Thanks to EOJ and kernow for the answers to my questions. That's too bad...guess I'll just have to save up for a DDP-DFK PCB then. ^_~

Such a CAVE produced DDP DFK PCB is really worth it though. :D
