CPS1 games that have been converted to play on your CPS2 Multi

CPS1 music is sooo much better than CPS2.

Think I may just get around to picking up a CPS1 board some day rather than playing via my Multi.

In fact, this difference cannot be made alone because of the different synthesizers. I bet they just replaced the CPS1 songs with CPS2 versions from other Street Fighter 2 games. ;)

If that's the case, anyway to bring back the CPS1 sounds?

The format isn't compatible, CPS2 uses qsound not ADPCM.
It would have to be hand ported and no one with the skills wants to put in that kind of time/work... Hence why they just used existing CPS2 sounds.
 
Makes sense. This is such an interesting project. Thanks for all the hardwork @Hatsune Mike and @neocps1. Look forward to seeing what else is in store for these types of conversions.

One thing i noticed is that CE can get glitchy. There was one time when everything went black except for the sprites, and then the speed went up to INSANE levels!!!!! Anyone who’s played Hyper Fighting SNES 10 Star mode knows what I’m talking about. After that the game just glitched and locked ups
 
Hello! Is there a version of the Street Fighters 2 CE rom to burn on a CPS2 regular B board, not multi? Thanks!
 
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but does anyone know why I can't get the SF2CE & SF2HF working on my non-key writing multi?

I've looked through the forums and by all accounts they should work without the key writing mod and firmware, yet when I select them from the SD card I get the 'All done: Operation Failed' message.

I've also tried deleting the key file from the rom directories, but to no avail - and the rest of the decrypted roms work on the same SD card.

Any help would be appreciated
 
I've gotten these to work on my non key writing setup. Didn't do anything special from what I can recall. Does Punisher work for you?
 
Thanks for your help. I've not tried Punisher, so will give that a try and will report back
 
Woo hoo! it worked!

For some reason I can't add the games to my existing SD full of games, as I get the error mentioned above. However, I formatted a new SD and just loaded on the 3 CPS1 games and low and behold it worked!

It's time to relearn Dictator's redizzy TOD! Thanks so much for your help
 
Mighty necro -- does anyone have the HF CPS2 conversion still?

I messaged Mike but in case -- it's not on his site anymore, and none of these links I've tried work. :/
 
Just found this thread while scouring for games for my forthcoming multi. Can anyone explain exactly what these conversions are - emulation? And I see these are only included in the encrypted CPS2 roll up pack, are these CPS1 games actually encrypted?

Answers:

1) Nope, not emulation. The games have been ported to run natively on the CPS2 hardware. The CPS1 and CPS2 are actually quite similar-CPS2 essentially steps up the video and sound capabilities. Porting a CPS1 game to CPS2 means rewriting chunks of the game to address that stronger hardware correctly. Even Capcom did it themselves - Mega Man Power Battle and Street Fighter Alpha appeared on both CPS1 and CPS2 hardware.

2) the CPS1 conversions aren’t in the decrypted roll up pack only because that pack hasn’t been updated in a while. If you take those files from the encrypted roll up pack and copy them onto a CPS2 Multi setup with the decrypted roll up pack, they’ll work fine.
 
Had a go on them last night, they work great! The CPS2 music / samples etc will take a bit of getting used to, but the gameplay feels identical.
