Capcom CPS-3 arcade board finally cracked
The Capcom CPS-3 arcade board only ran a handful of games, including JoJo's Venture, Street Fighter III, and Red Earth, but that hasn't stopped the emulation community from cracking the board's code, which puts them one step closer to emulating the board itself. And considering CPS-3 debuted in 1996, it's about time!
Posts on Haze's Mame WIP as well as the more technical-oriented Notas de Andy (translation) show that the decryption has opened up the developers to make further progress, as David Haywood has already gotten the two JoJo games to "execute some of the game code, rather than just bios." We look forward to watching their progress.

Its about damn time. Good work! But i doubt anyone on this site even cares.
An i wonder if someone had already cracked the board years ago, but never said anything.

I'm the owner of a now defunct SFIII:3RD STRIKE board, so this is pretty exciting stuff.

Yay! Let's put more arcades out of business! Piracy FTW. I mean WTF, why is news of arcade emulators pardaded so?

A toast to all of their hard work. Now if only indy developers made quality homebrew arcade games.
