... The real giveaway for a homebrew conversion/boot is the MASK ROM TYPE B-board as opposed to the JEDEC EP-ROM type B-board of the legit Japanese resale version.

To make this boot they used a US Street Fighter II Champion Edition board. The 8 GFX ROMs were burned onto non-JEDEC 27C400 EPROMs as the standard 27C4096 wouldn't be compatible (without major and unsightly rewiring). For sound and program ROMs the stock EPROMs were erased and reburned. So the cost of the boot is SF2CE + 8 EPROMs + 1 PAL. Needless to say it's well below 200 dollars (60-70, I would say).

Listen to MKL. ;)

To make your own version of this conversion does it matter if the b-board is a 91634B-2 or 91635B-2

The JP CE boards use a 91634B-2 "B" board; however, the US/WORLD CE boards use a 91635B-2 "B" board.

Now, go study your MKL.

The type of eproms you'll have to use is going to be different , otherwise it doesnt matter.

It is the sound chips if im not mistaken.

More reason to buy a original.

Just read the klov thread, it appears to be just another baseless idotic statement from luke morse. Both conversions and original sound the same.

What EPROM sizes do CPS-1 boards support? Can you use anything larger than a 4mbit rom? I have a magic sword board on the way and may want to convert it in the future if I can.

Really? Convert a magic sword? Why not just get a cheap SF CE? There are thousands of those.
