WTB Working CPS1 C-board needed

Want To Buy
Strike that. I turns out, I don't need the A-board on a CPS1. I need the C-board. Edited the post title accordingly. Holla at me if you can help.
 
You have different versions of C-Board, maybe you can precise what you are looking for

(Unfortunately I can't help I only own one :/ )
 
It is for a SF2CE board. So according to this page, I would need CPS-B-21 or CPS-B-01 or sometimes CPS-B-11. The non-suicide version.
 
IIRC from the cps1 revival videos the B21 is kind of a superset of all the other chips and could theoretically be made to support all the games. Could have misunderstood that though, and it probably doesn't help you :)

In my dreams, someone has made a replacement C board with a FPGA or something and it can support all games. Also a replacement PPU for the A board. What a wonderful world that would be. Instead here I am contemplating ripping up junker CPS2 boards for their B21 chips.
 
SF2CE C-boards are like gold for conversions (I own three myself).
I believe almost every CPS1 game has been patched/converted to support it now.

You can even use them to make CPS1.5 games, but you MUST have a CPS1.5 mobo or no Qsound.
 
Naturally SF2CE would have shipped with a CPS1' (that's CPS1Dash) A-board.
The magic is the C-board serves as protection, and that particular (SF2CE) C-board's secrets are known.

So ROMs can be patched to use the protection a CE C-board would provide.
The A-board don't give a crap, it just runs the code at the offsets provided by the C.

The 4 revisions of the CPS1 are:
CPS1 Long board
CPS1 Short board
CPS1' (aka CPS1Dash)
CPS1.5
