What's new

openkey kabuki project

Installed 3 x openkey-cps2 onto my humble little CPS-2 collection on the weekend.

These are the board revisions/keys used:

X-Men Vs. Street Fighter (93646B-7, Version 961023 USA)
Street Fighter Zero 3 (93646B-7 Version 980701 Asia)
Super Street Fighter 2X (93646B-4, Version 940311 Japan AM)

Super straight forward, well documented, simple install process with absolutely zero issues. I can rest easy now that the batteries won't leak.

Thanks for designing these @ack!
 
Hi,
I have been trying to get some of these made at PCBway and JLCPCB but none of the Git hub files are being recognized by the file import.

I am I missing something?

Thanks Justin
 
Would this work inside a case as shown in the attached picture? My Three Wonders is just black when I try to start it.

I decided to make an alternate version of openkey kabuki. The original version always felt like it didn't take much force for it to pop out of the CPU socket. This alternate version instead solders to the underside of the cpu socket on the bottom of the arcade pcb.

Here is it installed on a cps 1.5 D board

I wasn't really sure what to call it, but decided to go with openkey-kabuki-cr. The cr standing for cost reduced. While the cost wasn't the reason for me making it, the BOM does go from around $5 down to $0.60.

Wow dude, incredible!

You have truly kicked ass with these and I want to thank you for making them and also for having me test them last year and answering all my dumb questions as well!

Keep rocking!
 
Oh I really like that CR version!

I wonder if a similar "hidden" version could be made for the C-Board that solders under the b-Board, would certainly make fitment within cases much better.

It would require modifying the B board as 2 of the 4 pins needed to program are tied to ground on it.
