Who has any bootleg cps-1 games


feebmc

Question

Hi , i am working on a project here to try and allow easy game conversions for the cps-1 . So for example we could turn a cheap sf2 into a ghouls n ghosts ( this is not for trying to scam people but purely to play rare/expensive cps-1 games + it would be dead obvious to anyone with a clue if you were using a sf2 b board)

 

A major part of that is getting hold of rom dumps of the security pals ,which can only be done easily by getting an already cracked/unsecured pal dump from a bootleg version . I can dump the security pals from the bootlegs ( unless they are protected which is unlikely ) but getting hold of them is more difficult .

 

Does anyone have any bootleg cps-1 games other then the usual street fighter 2 bootlegs ? .

Are you intending to charge for this once you figure out how others have done it?

aha im no razoola , i can tell you right now how you go about doing it . It would just be nice if people didn't go hoard their security images ( a guy a few years back was selling cps-1 conversions but only in the fine print noteing they weren't original) . I would like to see as many security pals dumped and spread as far as possible , the mame team won't officially do it. Unless someone puts some effort into it , sooner or later our classic boards will die and we won't ever be able to rebuild them .

 

All you need to do is first checkout

You then have some idea of what boards are useable for your conversion .

 

 

Then its simply a matter of grabbing whatever dump you want to use , in this case for me its ghouls n ghosts . Getting the needed eproms ( for the ghouls you would need some 4 megabit chips , 512s etc ) and putting the flashed roms in the correct place on the b board ( it depends on the revision and game how you place them ) .

 

Then the most important bit is we need access to the security pal dumps most likely from the bootleg versions for the b board ( unless anyone here has the time to reconnect the read wire on those pal chips :) ) . No pal chips = scrambled graphics .

 

There isn't anything overly technical about doing this , its just a matter of getting a good collection of security pals .
