Darksoft CPS-1 Multi: Preview / Sneak Peek / Information - FINALLY!

A few questions for @Darksoft and the testers
1. Any chance you'll be making extra JAMMA biscuts to sell separately? I know more than a few people that need them for original CPS1.5 board-sets (myself included).
2. the Filterboard looks like it will fit with a CPS1.5 case but are the volume pots the same shape and position to allow for the original volume controls on the CPS1.5 case to function?
3. Any plans on adding a CPS2 style kick connector to the filter board? seems like it'd be great to simplify things for people who are swapping this out with your CPS2 and CPS3 multis. A lot of people run CPS2 adapters on CPS1 kick style games so it makes sense to include that on the filter board.
 
So am I still # 240 on the infamous list.....?? Lol jk...

Anyhoo, this is very exciting stuff. Thank you to the creators who have been working on this. When I first joined the hobby, the CPS2 Multi was the first thing I had to have. The CPS1 Multi was barely in "talks" and I thought to my self how cool would it be to have a CPS1, CPS2, and CPS3 Multi in my "one" cab ( a Q Sound Big Blue)....which is hilarious now to me. Mainly because I have enough cabs to house each multi by itself, properly :)

I hope to have this multi in hand sooner than later!

Oops. I picked up a short board and donor c boards awhile back for this but totally forgot about the 12mhz crystal upgrade. Anyone out there help a ninja out and recommend a place to pick up a crystal? Saw this ( https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ecs-inc/ECS-100A-120/79217 ) recommended on the forums but the size was in question.

I’d say that part looks the right size, but you can easily measure the distance between the pins on the underside of the board to confirm it.

No. You’ll have all the games in the library with the extra added bonus that Forgotten Worlds will be able to be controlled with buttons and played without the need for a spinner :thumbsup: which itself is good news if you think about it.

Haha, I know dude, the list will never die! People will always want to get added to it, regardless of how many times it's posted that it's irrelevant now.

But please ...+1 for me on :P

Man, just saw when I started that thread/list, Dec 10 2017, its been a while. But Im glad Darksoft/Apocalypse took up the challenge.

Will work on updating the list, in the next few days. Only 38 more pages to go through X/

Thanks, I did see that page

Its a little confusing though, my board looks to be a long 10hz version, yet SF2 CE/HF is listed further down the page as only playable on the 12mhz Dash board?

SF2 CE/HF is indeed playable in 10/12mhz. I've played it with both boards no issues. The game was originally designed to play on 12mhz though. If you have played the game like forever, you will maybe notice some improvements in slowdowns such as when you throw your opponent and breaks a barrel and other similar situations.
 
I apologize if this has been stated clearly already, but I'm still in doubt about something.

I only have cheap CPS-1 conversions. They all have 92641C-1 with the wire soldered, and the battery removed.

I believe I read that this is no-good for encrypted ROMs; Maybe no-good at all for DarkSoft CPS-1.

Is that the case?

Can I use unencrypted ROMs with DarkSoft CPS-1? Are they readily available?

Can I restore the functionality of my 92641C-1 to make it fully functional; or functional enough?

Thanks.

Lol well I said I expected to be in the minority here. 🙂 But it’s simply a cost effectiveness thing… I’ve got a cps1 board (captain commando) and axunworks spinners ready to go, and expecting this to be $400-500+… but if I’m honest, it won’t give me much practical benefit over my mistercade setup except better audio. I don’t think I can justify the expense. I love having original hardware, and this is incredible work as always, but the big (admittedly niche) benefit I was looking forward to won’t be here.

If FW spinner support is something that could be modded in later for those who care to, that would be

You say that because you haven't tried yet the best multi ever yet.
