successful reverse engineering of Capcom's CPS2 security programming

<< < (6/6)

Putting aside the semantics of what's been accomplished, will this have a practical application that will improve on phoenixing dead boards? I'd love to be done with suicide batteries.  Phoenixing doesn't seem worth it in terms of cost.  A cps2 multiboard with real hardware would be fun too, but the one out now seems unreliable, slow and very expensive.  Any chance this would help that situation?

I guess I'm asking if this is anything more than just being cool.

I believe the goal is so that you can replace the battery, and re write the suicide ROMs with encrypted data, so its like it never happened. Phoenixing is re-writing the roms with unencrypted & modified data.


The Darksoft kit that is out now is reliable, flashes games when you change in about a minute, and personally I think its reasonably priced. I own one and think its the bees knees. The only bad part is in the US you have to order from Paradise Arcade.
