I just purchased one of these off an ebay seller and I'm having issues with HSF2. Whenever I play with OG characters none of the voices are working. I was told that the roms were burned improperly. Is there any way to fix this? Would anyone on here be able to fix this I'm willing to pay.
The CPS2 system itself never got pirated (no botleg boards, only botleg software for it) so these are normal CPS2 hacked with an added custom ROM board and an video overlay board to add the game selection menu. Meaning the ROMs are "modified"in a way it would take some serious effort to understand before one being able to fix the OP problem.
I just spoke to someone on KLOV that sells these boards and he told me that one of the eproms were improperly burned. He said he's going to try to send mine back to his contact as a bad board and get me a new one for a cheap price.
What did this cost you? I'd seen a CPS1 multi-game board awhile back but it cost so much it seemed to me you may as well buy one of those MAME based multi-game boards. If you're going to bootleg why not go for the mother load.
Obviously. I can appreciate wanting to avoid emulation for purist reasons. But for the cash stand point, getting some sort of emulation based setup is alot better if you are going the bootlegging route. Why buy something that only has 18 games for I'm sure a considerable amount of money when you could spend alittle more and get far more games including CPS2 and probably NeoGeo too. So I can see the merit to the multi cps1 board but still think a MAME setup would be best. To each their own, but to me it seems like the middle of the road real hardware but pirated software for arcade stuff seems like a waste of resources but that's just my opinion. But then again I can agree with it for consoles with copiers or flash carts.
I got it for 250 on ebay from a uk seller. If I were to buy every single game on there I'd probably be running upwards to 600 dollars. The guy on Klov on the other hand is selling them for 200.
My stance on MAME is that it overloads the user with choice. You never ever play the games as thoroughly, you just end scrolling through the list choosing games - or at least, I did anyway. You could argue the same point with these xx-in-1 - in fact, I had that issue a bit with my 100-in-1 MVS cart. Having said that, I disagree with MAME being as good as the real thing. Bootlegs tend to use the 'real' hardware and for a cab user, you can feel/tell the difference. Anyway, are these 18-in-1s any cop? I've seen them pop up on Ebay but the game list seems a bit... I don't know... meh, in general.
Out of interest, who is the guy on KLOV? I bought one some time ago from a guy named Wu - it was a 19-in-1 with Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros and a bunch of Williams games. He is pretty trust worthy from my dealings with him.
