Modded CPS3 security cart

General Comments Off

Oct 312013

Today I got my modified CPS3 security cart.
I ended up getting the custom SH2 processor swapped for a normal SH2 and im pleased to say it works perfectly.
Not really too much to say about this as its all been extensively covered so ill just post a few pics.

It was about half way through flashing when I remembered the supplied CD wouldn’t actually have 2nd Impact on it. Luckily it flashed 3rd Strike instead.

Thanks to Alpha1 from the UKVAC forum for arranging postage and of course thanks to Mitsurugi-W and Darksoft for the soldering work and modified BIOS.

Midway T-Unit sound board PAL dump

PAL Updates Comments Off

channelmaniac contacted me a couple of weeks ago looking for a dump of the PAL16L8 chip from a Mortal Kombat sound PCB.
I didnt have it so asked about and luckily Asure had one on his workbench in the Netherlands which he was allowed to send to me for dumping.
The label for Mortal Kombat is A-5346-40025-9

Asure also sent me. among others, the PAL chip from an NBA Jam sound board. This is labelled A-16422. Turns out this chip is identical in behaviour to the Mortal Kombat one. For this reason ive labelled the dump as being for “Midway T-Unit sound board”

channelmaniac has confirmed this dump is working.

Thanks to Asure for providing this.
Seriously good effort here on behalf of everyone involved. Good to see everyone helping each other.

Picked one of these up for a reasonable price recently.

Its in very good condition and it works too.
Time to open it up and see whats inside.

This thing is a computer in itself with a processor, ROM and RAM. You can install JiffyDOS into this as well but im going to leave it alone as my SD2IEC will be the thing getting the most use, this item is just a nice to have.
