Candy Cab 3-4 player ? (+ CPS question)

Post by Battlesmurf »

Lol...silly question- lets say I purchase an Atomiswave- and decide to crack open 3/4 Player Alien Vs Predator/X-men- how hard would it be to wire up an arcade controller for the 3P and 4P? (lol..we could worry about space issues later) Any suggestions on this?

past the space issue, which is definately an issue, its easy. just get/wire up a 4p cps2 harness.

are you talking about konami xmen? not familiar with the setup on that board, but anything is possible with some wire and the right connector = :D

All CPS2 systems have encryption data stored in volatile RAM. When this RAM loses power, the decryption tables are lost and the game is dead.

No battery = suicide.

Your only choice now is to find someone who can phoenix the board with unencrypted ROMs. Good luck with that.

They can. But only if you're a Japanese arcade op and have a Japanese copy of the game.

"rofl"... or something...
