I was just looking around the web and after reading about Yots' exploits in the Chuff thread, I've got a question. Let's say, just for example, that I get hold of a CPS-1 board. Does that mean that simply burning a new set of ROM chips (with data available in any MAME romset) and plugging them into the CPS-1 board, I could have pretty much any game on this page? |

The Midway Wolf Unit boards I've been futzing with all have security chips that would prevent such swapping, but MK3FAN has a buddy who tweaked the security code and allows you to use any roms on the board, regardless of the security chip. |

From what I'm reading the CPS-1 boards didn't encrypt or have those stupid suicide batteries... Looking at the list of games that ran on this board, I'm thinking of picking one up and a fistful of empty ROMS and killing a few weekends. Would be awesome to have a real board to go with that CP I got from ya! |

According to this thread at KLOV, you need a special GAL security chip burned, but entry-level burners like the GQ-4X can't do them. http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=326736&highlight=Cps-1+EPROMs I just burned a Galaga Rapid Fire chip. Fun stuff. |
