After ten years, Capcom's CPS3 arcade system board has finally been decrypted. CPS3, the board that powers some of Capcom's best arcade hardware (Street Fighter III/2I/3S, Red Earth) has been one of the most legendary cast-iron bitches of the emulation underground; meanwhile, other emulation milestones like custom PSP firmware appear within a year or two after availability to the hack-happy public. With the decryption process complete, intrepid MAME-folk can get to the real task at hand: building an emulator to run newly-ripped CPS3 games.

Word around the water cooler (that is to say, y'know, a forum) is that what made the CPS3 such a tough nut to crack was its rather nasty security cartridge which, if tampered with, would erase the decryption code and kill the system board. Given that CPS3 boards aren't exactly cheap, the work towards proven CPS3 emulation had little hope of advancing -- until code-monkey Andreas came along and did the dirty work himself. Be forewarned, his personal record of progress is both technically complicated and Spanish. Abandon all hope before ye Babelfish.

Anyways, keep a watchful eye on your favorite MAME enthusiast websites for further updates -- not that I'm necessarily promoting the emulation of CPS3 arcade games or anything. All I'm saying is if you get a chance to play Red Earth, run (do not walk) to the nearest location that would offer such an experience and get to it, punk.

oh my god!!!
不是做梦吧？

是真的吗？如果是真的，那真是好消息啊~红色大地真想玩玩~

当年CPSII破解时感觉真的在做梦
现在都麻木了

sf33啊，我靠！

sf33没兴趣……玩起来一点不像SF的一个新游戏，尽管我相信它很经典

能玩到33的途径太多了……

真的假的？不过也想不出有什么游戏可以玩了

Oh
My
God!


虽然说这些游戏都没什么可期待的了,但CPS3的破解却是多年的夙愿,能了心愿即使不玩游戏也很欣慰

.....
看了看Haze的官方网站,下面的留言....有一句

with that speed i think we will play cps3 this night?? hehe

没玩过CPS3，已经无爱了。

想玩红色大地，3.3也没普及到每家每户，意义重大啊。

希望明天太阳会升起来~
