Looking at the board it has security nut over the white cover I'm guessing there is a battery inside. 😱

Also, can anyone confirm the Simms are Fujitsu.

that board *might* have a battery inside that can be desoldered easily to prevent leaking.

That said, ask them to use the mobo from the nocd one which was a 4 over the cyclone one (unless the board was what was at fault).

The rev3/4 boards are of course the newer ones but as long as the cps3 works, that's what you want.

I went through 6 cps3 boards to get 3 working sets.
 
Motherboard revision doesn’t matter. They all work the same. Same with the SIMMs — I’ve used all kinds of OG and repro RAM with no issues.

It will be highly unlikely there’ll be a battery under the white cover, they exist, but it’s not common, it doesn’t hurt asking to check that and the cart for battery issues. Better to be safe than sorry.

Setup looks mad clean. You did good. Keen to see you up and running.

My -2 had a battery in it… pays to open it up and check to be sure.

I do believe that only the -2 that have the CN and jumpers populated have the battery/ICs and under the cover… so that -2 may be safe since it’s lacking those.
 
Yep, it may have a small daughterboard on the bottom with an LS04 on it but it makes zero difference

It’s not like CPS2 where the later revisions have a key writing connector that makes things easier

It will probably have the cover and connections for a battery but it likely won’t have a battery on it

The SIMMS are definitely Fujitsu
 
The CPS3 emulation in MAME/Fightcade is damn near perfect and that hasn’t reduced the demand for original hardware. If anything it has increased

It doesn’t matter how good Mister etc get - offline tournaments will always require original hardware

Hey Aussies, I’ve asked this before I vaguely recall but just after a recap on what proxy service is recommended to buy something from YJ. I just want a chassis for now, but maybe will need a forwarder of some sort down the track to buy from other stores. Thanks in advance.

Hey mate, FWIW I have used (or rather was forced to use) "World Shopping" and was not happy at the service at all. Poorly packed, expensive and a huge box for the items meaning that they undoubtedly banged around inside the box during shipping. So probably scratch that one off the list of proxy if it is offered to you. Sorry, I can't be of more help than that, though I am sure others will chime in soon with good recommendations!
